Preface
This little book has been compiled by special and repeated request.
Otherwise, I should have hesitated to add to the already existing
number of vegetarian cookery books. It is not addressed to the
professional cook, but to those who find themselves, as I did,
confronted with the necessity of manufacturing economical vegetarian
dishes without any previous experience of cooking. An experienced
cook will doubtless find many of the detailed instructions superfluous.
The original idea was to compile a cookery book for those vegetarians
who are non-users of milk and eggs. But as this would have curtailed
the book's usefulness, especially to vegetarian beginners, the project
was abandoned. At the same time, non-users of milk and eggs will find
that their interests have been especially considered in very many of the
recipes.
All the recipes have been well tested. Many of them I evolved myself
after repeated experiments. Others I obtained from friends. But all of
them are used in my own little household. So that if any reader
experiences difficulty in obtaining the expected results, if she will write
to me, at 3, Tudor Street, London, E.C., and enclose a stamped
envelope for reply, I shall be glad to give any assistance in my power.
I desire to record my gratitude here to the friends who have sent me
recipes; to the graduate of the Victoria School of Cookery, who assisted
me with much good advice; to Cassell's large Dictionary of Cookery,
from which I gathered many useful hints; to the Herald of Health,
which first published recipes for the Agar-agar Jellies and Wallace
Cheese; and to E. and B. May's Cookery Book, from whence emanates
the idea of jam without sugar. Lastly, I would thank Mrs. Hume, of
"Loughtonhurst," Bournemouth, with whom I have spent several
pleasant holidays, and who kindly placed her menus at my disposal.

Preface to Second Edition
This little cookery book was originally published for that "straiter" sect
of food-reformers who abstain from the use of salt, yeast, etc. But,
owing to repeated requests from ordinary vegetarians, who find the
book useful, I am now including recipes for yeast bread, cheese dishes,
nutmeat dishes, etc. I have put all these in the chapter entitled "Extra
Recipes." To go to the opposite extreme there is a short chapter for
"unfired feeders." Other new recipes have also been added.
The note re Salads has been borrowed from E.J. Saxon, and the
Vegetable Stew in Casserole Cookery from R. & M. Goring, in The
Healthy Life.

Everyday Fitness
You want food you can eat every day, knowing that it is bringing you
nearer and nearer to real Fitness, the Fitness which lasts all day, and
survives even Sunday or a Summer Holiday.
'P.R.' Foods are Everyday Foods. They take the place of white bread,
and white flour biscuits, of expensive dairy butter, of sloppy
indigestible porridge, and so on. They are the Foods which keep you fit
all the time--you, and your husband, and the children. They are made
along absolutely scientific lines in a factory which is probably unique
throughout the world. They are the standard of pure food production.
Their daily use is the Direct Route to Fitness All the Time.
