- - - - PREFACE. - - -The aim of this book is to demonstrate the nutritious and appetising -possibilities of vegetable foods. Cattle are becoming so diseased that -apart from a humane revulsion against the consumption of meats in -daily food, man is being driven for his own welfare to seek purer food -substance. Any physical habit indulged in for generations is difficult -to overcome, and the transition period between daily meat eating, and -pure vegetarianism is a difficult one. We have endeavored to suggest -such a variety of tasty and nutritious foods as will materially aid in -making the change. - -We do not claim this to be an exhaustive treatise on Vegetarian -Cookery; only a clear and practical aid in the better preparations of -some of the delicious products of the Vegetable Kingdom. Many children -show a natural dislike to meats, and Mothers are at a loss how to -supply them with proper nourishment when they reject the meat. Requests -have come to us for aid through this very fact; and was one of the -incentives to the bringing out of this book. - -Mothers will have no difficulty in finding a plentiful variety of -relishable and nutritious foods for the children if they will study the -following pages. Equally easy will the formal dinner appear when one -wishes to entertain Vegetarian friends. - - - - - INTRODUCTORY. - - -Vegetarianism from a Theosophical standpoint involves a whole -philosophy of life. The short quotation on our title page well -expresses the theosophic concept of the Unity of life, and the law of -cause and effect which we call Karma. Life is fundamentally a unit, -and aught that works ill to any manifestation thereof has effect on -all. Through occult science we are taught a very practical lesson -of direct benefit to the individual, by a diet free from blood. As -clearly stated in Annie Besant’s manual on “Man and his Bodies,” man -molds these instruments of his will, or true self. These bodies are -but instruments; in no sense the man himself; and these instruments or -bodies are finely responsive to the operator, or true self, only as -they are purified and harmonized. Gross foods, and gluttony make gross -bodies, not only physical, but astral as well. For the astral bodies -feed on the subtle emanations of the foods supplying nutriment to the -physical encasement. If, through the consumption of meats we feed the -astral on the emanations of blood or animal life, we intensify the -gross desire-nature of the astral man, intensify the passional-nature, -and at death, when the physical body is cast aside as a discarded -garment, the dense, gross, astral body is held to corresponding planes -in the realm of the astral; thus the purgatory of the Roman church -becomes a very real and uncomfortable experience. If, on the contrary, -clean habits of life have purified the astral body, when it is -liberated at the hour of death from the prison house of flesh it is not -of the same degree of density as the lower astral planes, and it passes -on to the sunlit meadows of that world and away from its slums. - -Alcohol has also a most pernicious effect on the astral vehicle, and -for that reason is eliminated from the food of the occultist. It is a -great mistake to give to the perishing, alcohol, or narcotics, as it -has really a more serious effect on the out-going astral than on the -physical encasement. When man learns to live on clean food, to have -clean habits and to think clean, generous thoughts, there is naught in -all this wonderful universe that he need fear. - - - - - PRACTICAL - - VEGETARIAN COOKERY. - - - - - SOUPS. - - -SOUP STOCK. - -Any nuts with herbs dried and ground will nicely flavor and enrich -stock. - - -STOCK FOR CLEAR SOUPS. - -Place four onions in large kettle with a gallon of water, let boil -steadily two hours, then add one carrot, two small turnips, two -parsnips, three bay leaves, one head of celery (if celery leaves cannot -be had a saltspoonful of celery seeds may be used), one-eighth head -of cabbage. Let boil four hours; strain. This should make a gallon of -strong stock. - - -TOMATO BOUILLON. - -Put one quart of tomatoes, with one and a half quarts of water, in -kettle over the fire; add one tablespoonful of chopped onion, two bay -leaves, four whole cloves, one level teaspoonful of celery seed and -a half teaspoonful of pepper. Cover and cook twenty minutes. Strain -through a sieve. Beat the whites of two eggs until partly light, add -them to the tomato, and boil rapidly for five minutes. Strain through -two thicknesses of cheese cloth. Reheat, season with two teaspoonfuls -of salt and serve with croutons. - - -JULIENNE SOUP. - -Boil tender, not soft, one small potato, one small carrot, one half -cupful of green peas (canned peas can be used), and one small head of -celery, if in season; if in summer, asparagus heads will do. Cut the -large vegetables into small dice, and add one quart of the clear stock. -Take the yolks of two eggs, whipping them up with one tablespoonful of -milk with salt to taste, put in a crockery cup and set in steamer; let -cook until solid; set away to chill, then cut in small dice or fancy -shapes and add to the soup. - - -MACARONI SOUP. - -One-third package of Macaroni, or Spaghetti; cook in boiling water, -salted to taste, until tender, then drain quickly and add one quart of -clear stock. Bring to a boiling point and serve. - - -TORONTO BISQUE. - -Place a sauce pan, with half a cupful of fine chopped onion, the same -of carrot and celery, over the fire; cover with boiling water; cook -five minutes; drain off the water. Melt one tablespoonful of butter in -a saucepan, add the parboiled vegetables; cover and cook ten minutes, -stirring often; then add one heaping teaspoonful of flour, stir and -cook two minutes, add one cupful of canned tomatoes, and one quart of -boiling water, cook fifteen minutes. Shortly before serving rub the -bisque through a sieve; mix the yolk of two eggs with half a cupful of -cream; add it to the bisque, and stir for a few minutes over the fire. -In the meantime cook two ounces of macaroni in salted water thirty-five -minutes; drain and rinse it off with cold water; cut the macaroni into -small pieces the size of a white bean; add one cupful of this macaroni -to the bisque and serve. - - -TOMATO SOUP. - -To one can of tomatoes add one pint of water, four peppercorns, one -half bay leaf, four cloves, and a bit of mace; cook until the tomatoes -are soft enough to strain. After straining add two teaspoonfuls of -sugar, one teaspoonful of salt, one fourth teaspoonful of soda; thicken -with two tablespoonfuls of butter and three tablespoonfuls of flour -blended together. - - -CREAM OF TOMATO. - -To one half can of tomatoes, add one scant tablespoonful of finely -chopped onion, and three spikes of celery, cook until tender, then -strain through a wire sieve; season to taste, add soda the size of -a pea. Scald one quart of milk, mix one teaspoonful of butter with -heaping teaspoonful of flour, dissolve in warm milk and stir into the -scalding milk; add to the strained tomato stock just before serving; -don’t let it stand after milk is added. Serve with crackers. - - -DUTCH SOUP. - -Take one bay leaf, one half can of tomatoes, one half can of corn, one -medium sized onion, chopped; two heads of celery, cut fine (or one half -teaspoonful of celery seed); one half cupful of rice, one half cupful -of oatmeal, one carrot, cut in dice, one eighth head of cabbage, cut -fine, one small turnip, cut fine, gallon, or more, of cold water, with -salt to taste. Cook gently until all vegetables are thoroughly tender. -Very nice served plain, or with dumplings. This soup is a hearty -luncheon in itself. - - -CREAM OF POTATO. - -To one head of celery, cut fine, add one teaspoonful of chopped onion, -one large, or two medium sized potatoes, sliced; cook until you can -mash through a wire sieve; then add one quart of scalding milk, one -half cupful of cream, and thicken to a cream with buttered flour. Serve -with oyster crackers. - - -POTATO SOUP WITH DUMPLINGS. - -Pare, wash, and cut into dice, six good sized potatoes, chop fine -one onion, place in kettle with water to cover, salt to taste, and -cook until tender; then add one quart of cream or rich milk, add one -tablespoonful of butter, a dash of pepper, and let come to a boil. - -Have ready dumplings made as follows: To four heaping tablespoonfuls -of flour, add pinch of salt, one even teaspoonful baking powder, one -tablespoonful cream, and water enough to make soft dough; do not -knead, mould into small lumps, size of walnuts, and drop into soup -as soon as the soup comes to a boil. The dumplings take about eight -minutes to cook, and the kettle should be kept covered all the time. -The soup needs to be carefully watched that it does not boil over or -burn; it is well to lift the kettle free from the stove every three or -four minutes, giving it a little twirl, but do not lift the cover until -the eight minutes are passed, for sudden reduction of temperature may -make the dumplings heavy. - - -RICE POTATO SOUP. - -To two tablespoonfuls of rice, thoroughly washed, add one potato cut in -large dice, one tablespoonful of finely chopped onion, and one-third of -a teaspoonful of celery seed; cook until tender, salt to taste, add one -quart of hot milk and one half cupful of cream. Serve with crackers. - - -SOUP WITH NOUILLES. - -Nouilles--Beat two eggs, mix to a stiff paste with flour and a pinch of -salt, roll out very thin on well floured board, let dry a few minutes, -then roll snugly, cut from end of roll in strips as thin as possible, -and shake out thoroughly. Have one quart clear stock hot and shake -nouilles in gently. Let it simmer until nouilles are tender. - - -BEAN PURÉE WITH NOUILLES. - -Take one pint of cold Boston baked beans; place in kettle with two -quarts of water, one small onion, chopped fine, one small bay leaf; let -boil until onion is tender, put through a wire strainer (if too thick, -more water can be added); season to taste, add nouilles and let simmer -until they are tender. - - -BEAN PURÉE WITH TOMATO. - -To one bowl of cold Boston baked beans, add one half onion, chopped; -one half teaspoonful of celery seed, one pint of tomatoes, one bay -leaf, and one quart of water. Let boil one half hour, then mash through -a colander, if too thick add more water, have ready one heaping -teaspoonful of flour blended smooth with water, stir into the strained -mixture, and put soup back on the fire, letting it come to a good boil. -The flour is added to keep the soup an even creamy thickness. Serve -with croutons. - - -RED KIDNEY BEAN SOUP. - -To one can of red kidney beans, cooked in their own juice and then -mashed through a sieve to remove skins, add one quart of rich fresh -milk, one tablespoonful of butter, salt and pepper to taste.

It is cooked on a -griddle, hence its name “Griddle Bread.” The griddle should be made -thoroughly hot before placing the dough on it, and sprinkled with a -little fine white flour. Measure the meal, and for every two level -measures of meal allow one measure of boiling water; have the meal in -a mixing bowl, and use a wooden spoon for stirring. Make a hole in -the center of the meal and pour the boiling water into it, stirring -all the time till it forms a mass or lump. No kneading is required. -Sprinkle the paste-board with fine white flour and turn the mass onto -it. Roll out into cakes, making the cake about half an inch thick. The -edge should not be ragged, but dredged with fine flour and pressed -with the knuckles to an even thickness. Dredge fine flour on each -piece, rub it well in with the fingers, then turn it on the other side -with the knife and do the same, so that the surface has a fine smooth -appearance. As each piece is prepared, place it on the hot griddle -plate. Two or three minutes is sufficient time to prepare the bread -from the moment the water boils. The time for the cooking necessarily -varies according to the heat of the fire, which should be kept at an -even temperature; twenty to thirty minutes will be found the average. - - -TEA ROLLS. - -Make a sponge of one cupful of lukewarm water, one cake of yeast, -one fourth cupful sugar, and flour enough to make a soft dough.

Beat well and let rise; then add beaten white of one egg -and enough flour to knead. Knead thoroughly and let it rise again; work -down; place in a buttered bowl; let it rise again, turn onto a board, -roll, and cut. Shape to suit fancy, in finger rolls, bread sticks, or -cleft rolls; place in pans and let rise; bake in hot oven.

Thin cakes -should bake from fifteen to twenty minutes, thicker cakes from thirty -to forty minutes, and very thick loaves about one hour. If only the -yolks of the eggs are used the cake is richer, if only the whites it -is lighter. Have all ingredients ready, then see that fire and oven -are right, and mix carefully.

Pour into a -pie shell and bake slowly until it puffs. Beat the whites of the eggs -until light, then gradually add three tablespoonfuls of sugar and beat -until stiff.

Then make an equal quantity of strong sweet lemonade, bringing -this to a scald, thicken the same way, adding egg in same manner; pour -this as second layer in mold. Then take two cupfuls of milk, bring to a -scald, sweeten, and thicken as before, then add the yolks of two eggs, -well beaten, whipping in one half teaspoonful of vanilla flavoring, -add to previous layers in mould (the layers can be placed in order to -suit fancy), set away to chill thoroughly, and serve with whipped or -plain cream.

To pulp and liquor add one pint of cream, one teaspoonful of -sugar, salt and pepper to taste, and one tablespoonful of butter. -Serve with wafers. This is a very nutritious and relishable soup for a -convalescent. - - -MILK TOAST. - -Brown delicately a thin slice of stale bread, cut in strips and -place in bowl; to one cupful of rich milk, brought to a scald, add a -teaspoonful of butter, have ready one heaping teaspoonful of flour -blended with water, strain into scalding milk and stir until it -thickens, set back and let cook gently while you whip the white of one -egg to a stiff froth, add a pinch of salt, then take the simmering milk -from the stove and whip the beaten white of egg in quickly. Pour over -toast in bowl and serve at once. - - -CUP CUSTARD. - -Allow one egg and three fourths of a cupful of rich milk for each cup, -sweeten to taste and flavor with grated nutmeg, or vanilla extract, -as you prefer, pour in cups, set cup in shallow tin half filled with -water, and place in oven; bake until solid, and knife blade can be -drawn out clean. Cooking in the pan of water prevents custards from -separating and becoming watery. - - -RICE FOAM. - -Wash one heaping teaspoonful of rice and cook until thoroughly tender -in milk; mash through a sieve; add pinch of salt; heat a half cupful of -cream to a scald, and stir in the rice. Whip the white of one egg to a -stiff froth, and add immediately on removing from the stove. A bit of -chopped parsley may be added, if liked. Serve with wafers. This is a -pleasant change from sweet gruels, and is very nutritious. - - -CREAMED GRUEL. - -Cook one tablespoonful of rolled oats in scant pint of water; when soft -strain through a sieve; add one half cupful of cream; salt to taste, -and let come to a scald. Have ready the whites of two eggs beaten to -a stiff froth, take gruel from the fire and whip in the eggs, sweeten -to taste and flavor with a dash of nutmeg or a few drops of vanilla -extract. - - -EGG GRUEL. - -Heat a cupful of milk to 180 F., and stir into it one well beaten egg -mixed with one fourth cupful of cold water. Stir constantly for a few -minutes until thickened, but do not allow it to boil again. Season with -salt, or if preferred, a little loaf sugar. - - -BARLEY GRUEL. - -Wash three tablespoonfuls of pearl barley, drop it into a pint of -boiling water and parboil five minutes. Pour the water off and add -one quart of fresh boiling water, let it simmer gently from one to -three hours, strain, season, and serve. A small piece of lemon rind -added to the gruel one half hour before it is done will give an -agreeable flavor. Equal quantities of barley gruel and milk make a very -nourishing drink; a little lemon juice with sugar to taste is sometimes -liked as the flavor for the gruel. - - -ARROWROOT. - -Mix two tablespoonfuls of arrowroot with four tablespoonfuls of cold -water; add half a pint of boiling water and boil until it thickens; -sweeten to taste and add a little grated nutmeg. - - -GRAHAM GRUEL. - -Mix one tablespoonful of graham meal in four tablespoonfuls of cold -water, stir it into a pint of boiling water, cook twenty minutes, salt -to taste, and boil ten minutes longer, put a gill of thin gruel into a -cup with one half gill of milk or cream, and serve hot. - - -EGG NOGG. - -Beat the yolk of a freshly laid egg with a tablespoonful of sugar until -it is light and creamy, add to this one half cupful of milk (hot or -cold, as you wish the drink, warm, or chilled), whip in, lightly, the -white of the egg, beaten stiff, a light grating of nutmeg, and if -mixed cold, a tablespoonful of cracked ice. Serve at once. - - -EGG AND LIME WATER. - -To a wineglass full of lime water, add the stiffly beaten white of one -egg. Give this often, in small quantities, to patient. It is excellent -in cases of obstinate vomiting and bowel trouble. - - -APPLE WATER. - -Wash and wipe a large sour apple and, without paring, cut it into thin -slices. Put them in a bowl with one strip of lemon peel, add one cupful -of boiling water, cover and set away to cool, strain when cold, sweeten -and serve with cracked ice. Cranberries or rhubarb may be used in the -same way. - - -EGG LEMONADE. - -Beat the white of an egg to a stiff froth, mix with it the juice of a -small lemon and one tablespoonful of sugar. Add one cupful of ice water -and shake thoroughly. - - -ARROWROOT WATER. - -Boil the thin rind of a fresh lemon in one quart of water. When -boiling, pour over one tablespoonful of arrowroot previously mixed with -a little cold water, stir well, sweeten to taste, and let it boil for -five minutes; squeeze in the juice of one lemon. - - -BARLEY WATER. - -One teaspoonful of pearl barley, one half lemon, one quart boiling -water, sugar to taste. Wash the barley in cold water, add boiling -water, juice of lemon, a bit of rind, let stand, covered, and warm for -three hours. - - -EGG TEA. - -Take the white of one egg and beat it to a stiff froth, beat the yolk -into it with a scant tablespoonful of sugar, then pour in slowly -(beating the mixture all the time) half a cupful of hot milk; flavor -with grated nutmeg or vanilla to taste. - - -TOAST WATER. - -Brown nicely in the oven slices of bread, and pour upon them sufficient -boiling water to cover. Let them steep until cold, keeping the bowl or -dish containing the toast closely covered. Strain off the water and -sweeten to taste. Chill by setting dish in bowl of chopped ice. - - -BARLEY WATER. - -Put two ounces of pearl barley into half a pint of boiling water and -let it simmer a few minutes. Drain off and add two quarts of boiling -water with a few figs and stoned raisins cut fine. Boil slowly until -reduced about one half and strain. Sweeten to taste, adding the juice -of a lemon and nutmeg if desired. - - -BAKED MILK. - -Put the milk in a jar, covering the opening with white paper, and bake -in a moderate oven until thick as cream. May be taken by the most -delicate stomach. - - -FLAXSEED LEMONADE. - -Pour on four tablespoonfuls of whole flaxseed one quart of boiling -water and add the juice of two lemons. Let it steep for three hours, -keeping it closely covered. Strain and sweeten to taste. - - - - - IMPORTANT NOTES. - - -THE WAY TO TEST HOT FAT. - -If a bit of dry bread will brown in one minute fat is hot enough for a -raw mixture. If cooked mixtures are to be browned the fat should be hot -enough to brown a piece of bread in forty seconds. This method however, -is only a makeshift and is not absolutely accurate. A thermometer -should be used; 380 to 390 degrees is the right temperature for frying -vegetable substances. Heat fat slowly. - - -CELERY FLAVORING. - -Clean the green stalks and leaves of celery and dry, place in paper -bags to be used for soups and savories when celery is out of season. -This can be used in place of the celery seed called for in some -receipts. - - -NUT BUTTER. - -Peanuts shelled and well roasted with the skins rubbed off will, when -ground, dissolve into a buttery substance which can be spread on bread -and made into sandwiches. All kinds of nuts reduced to flour can be -readily digested and can be placed on the table to be eaten with bread -or spread on sandwiches. - - -BAY LEAVES. - -Bay leaves contribute a most delicate and pungent flavor to soups, -savories and gravies. They can be obtained at any druggist’s, and five -cents worth will last a long time. - - - - - SUBSTITUTES FOR INGREDIENTS IN NON-VEGETARIAN RECEIPTS. - - -SUET. - -In place of suet use bread crumbs soaked in oil or butter. - - -MEATS. - -Use nuts as substitute for meats. To prepare the nuts for cooking, pick -from the shell carefully and chop very fine, or better yet, grind in -nut mill. - - -GELATINE. - -In place of gelatine, use Irish Moss or corn starch. - - -MEAT FATS. - -Nut butter takes the place of meat extract and fats in gravies and -sauces. Where plain butter is preferred with a savory flavoring of -herbs, always brown the flour used for thickening. - - -PASTRY. - -Cocoanut or cow’s butter is the substitute for lard or cotoline in -vegetarian pastry. - - -HERBS. - -The value of herbs for savories and soups is too little understood by -American cooks. Here is “Aunt Susan’s” receipt for a “soup powder” that -will flavor any soup, gravy, or savory dish with a fine flavor: - - -SOUP POWDER. - - Sweet Marjoram--Powdered, two ounces. - Parsley--Powdered, two ounces. - Summer Savory--Powdered, two ounces. - Thyme--Powdered, two ounces. - Bay Leaf--Powdered, two ounces. - Lemon Peel--Powdered, one ounce. - Sweet Basil--Powdered, one ounce. - Rosemary--Powdered, one ounce. - - -TO PREPARE ONIONS FOR SALADS OR FILLINGS. - -Peel and slice, or chop, cover the onions with boiling water, and let -stand three or four minutes, drain and put in ice water, let stand ten -or fifteen minutes, or, until crisp. The onions are just as crisp as -before, and much more delicate. - - -THE WAY TO DRY CORN. - -Just scald, then cut from the cob, put in a pan and set over kettle -of boiling water; stir frequently, and in a couple of hours the corn -will be almost dry, if the water in kettle has been constantly kept at -boiling. Set in warm oven half an hour and the corn is ready to put in -bags; dry and clean. - - -WEIGHTS AND MEASURES FOR COOKS. - - 1 pound of wheat flour is equal to 1 quart - 1 pound and two ounces of Indian meal make 1 quart - 1 pound of soft butter is equal to 1 quart - 1 pound and 2 ounces of best brown sugar make 1 quart - 1 pound and 1 ounce of powdered white sugar make 1 quart - 1 pound of broken loaf sugar is equal to 1 quart - 4 large tablespoonfuls make ¹⁄₂ gill - 1 common-sized tumbler holds ¹⁄₂ pint - 1 common-sized wine glass is equal to ¹⁄₂ gill - 1 tea-cup holds 1 gill - 1 large wine glass holds 2 ounces - 1 tablespoonful is equal to ¹⁄₂ ounce - - -COLORING FOR SAUCES AND SOUPS. - -Crush a quarter of a pound of loaf sugar to powder, put it into a -sauce pan with a tablespoonful of water, and stir it unceasingly over -a gentle fire until it begins to acquire a little color. Draw it back -and bake it very slowly, still stirring it, until it is almost black, -without being in the least burnt. It will take about half an hour. Pour -a quart of water over it, let it boil for a few minutes until the sugar -is quite dissolved, pour it out, and when cold, strain it into a bottle -and store it for use. A tablespoonful of this browning will color half -a pint of liquid. - - -BOILING VEGETABLES. - -It is very essential for health that all the properties of food should -be retained in the cooking, therefore the habit of boiling the various -vegetables, in an unnecessary quantity of water, and then draining this -down the sink, is a means of defrauding the organism of the nourishment -originally contained in the article. - -Potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and other articles requiring their skins -to be removed for serving or mincing, should, when possible, be steamed -“in their jackets” and peeled as much as necessary afterwards. - -Cauliflowers, cabbage, &c., are excellent when steamed. Green peas, -beans, and such, should be put in a covered vessel, with a little -butter, and, when necessary, a spoonful or two of water, and gently -stewed, standing inside a saucepan of water without the water touching -them; or they can be stewed in the oven in an earthenware jar, with a -little butter and a spoonful or two of water. This method of cooking -takes very little longer time than the ordinary boiling in water. The -oven should be moderately heated. - - -STEWING FRUITS. - -Fruits are better stewed in a double enamelled saucepan, or baked in -a tightly covered earthen jar in the oven with as little water as -possible. - -Dried fruits, such as raisins, figs, dates, &c., should be washed and -picked over carefully, then soaked for several hours in cold water till -they are soft and swollen to their fullest extent, when they should be -stewed in the same water. - - -USE OF SALT. - -As little salt as is palatable should be used, and an effort made to -daily lessen its use. When once the system is freed from the use of -this mineral in its daily food, a small dose shows it to be an active -poison. There is enough of natural salts in our vegetable foods without -our making use of the mineral deposit. Knowing that many will use this -book who are just turning from the meat diet, we give, as a rule, the -usual quantity of salt in the receipts used in ordinary cookery. For -the same reason we give the ordinary beverages in daily use, in the -menus. - - -BEVERAGES. - -Fruit juices are far more conductive to good health than tea or coffee, -and we especially recommend lemon juice diluted with boiling water as -a breakfast beverage, though we have not ventured to place it on the -regular bill of fare. It is a most appetising morning drink, and should -be taken a short time before eating. - - - - - MENUS FOR ONE WEEK. - - -BREAKFAST--MONDAY. - - Chinese Rice with Cream. - Fruit. - Boiled Eggs. - Creamed Potatoes. -

That flesh -meat contains the germs of diseases to which animals are subject and -contain the thick, venous blood, a substance so poisonous that it will -cause blood poisoning whenever it comes in contact with the arterial -blood of the body. That by avoiding the butcher’s meat and living -on the pure foods provided so abundantly in the Vegetable kingdom a -higher degree of health and strength can be obtained; a longer life and -greater freedom from irritation and nervous exhaustion, under pressure -of business or professional labor. - -The principles of humanity towards animals and the effects of pure food -in promoting man’s ethical and spiritual progress are also discussed in -this magazine. - - - _Philadelphia: The Vegetarian Society of America_, - 310 CHESTNUT STREET. - - - - - THEOSOPHICAL MANUALS. - - - No. 1. - - THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF MAN. - - By ANNIE BESANT.

class="nobreak" id="PREFACE">PREFACE.</h2> -</div> - - -<p>The aim of this book is to demonstrate the nutritious and appetising -possibilities of vegetable foods. Cattle are becoming so diseased that -apart from a humane revulsion against the consumption of meats in -daily food, man is being driven for his own welfare to seek purer food -substance. Any physical habit indulged in for generations is difficult -to overcome, and the transition period between daily meat eating, and -pure vegetarianism is a difficult one. We have endeavored to suggest -such a variety of tasty and nutritious foods as will materially aid in -making the change.</p> - -<p>We do not claim this to be an exhaustive treatise on Vegetarian -Cookery; only a clear and practical aid in the better preparations of -some of the delicious products of the Vegetable Kingdom. Many children -show a natural dislike to meats, and Mothers are at a loss how to -supply them with proper nourishment when they reject the meat. Requests -have come to us for aid through this very fact; and was one of the -incentives to the bringing out of this book.</p> - -<p>Mothers will have no difficulty in finding a plentiful variety of -relishable and nutritious foods for the children if they will study the -following pages. Equally easy will the formal dinner appear when one -wishes to entertain Vegetarian friends.</p> -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_3">[Pg 3]</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="INTRODUCTORY">INTRODUCTORY.</h2> -</div> - - -<p>Vegetarianism from a Theosophical standpoint involves a whole -philosophy of life. The short quotation on our title page well -expresses the theosophic concept of the Unity of life, and the law of -cause and effect which we call Karma. Life is fundamentally a unit, -and aught that works ill to any manifestation thereof has effect on -all. Through occult science we are taught a very practical lesson -of direct benefit to the individual, by a diet free from blood. As -clearly stated in Annie Besant’s manual on “Man and his Bodies,” man -molds these instruments of his will, or true self. These bodies are -but instruments; in no sense the man himself; and these instruments or -bodies are finely responsive to the operator, or true self, only as -they are purified and harmonized. Gross foods, and gluttony make gross -bodies, not only physical, but astral as well. For the astral bodies -feed on the subtle emanations of the foods supplying nutriment to the -physical encasement. If, through the consumption of meats we feed the -astral on the emanations of blood or animal life, we intensify the -gross desire-nature of the astral man, intensify the passional-nature, -and at death, when the physical body is cast aside as a discarded -garment, the dense, gross, astral body is held to corresponding planes -in the realm of the astral;<span class="pagenum" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</span> thus the purgatory of the Roman church -becomes a very real and uncomfortable experience. If, on the contrary, -clean habits of life have purified the astral body, when it is -liberated at the hour of death from the prison house of flesh it is not -of the same degree of density as the lower astral planes, and it passes -on to the sunlit meadows of that world and away from its slums.</p> - -<p>Alcohol has also a most pernicious effect on the astral vehicle, and -for that reason is eliminated from the food of the occultist. It is a -great mistake to give to the perishing, alcohol, or narcotics, as it -has really a more serious effect on the out-going astral than on the -physical encasement. When man learns to live on clean food, to have -clean habits and to think clean, generous thoughts, there is naught in -all this wonderful universe that he need fear.</p> -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_5">[Pg 5]</span></p> - -<p class="center xbig">PRACTICAL<br>VEGETARIAN COOKERY.</p> -</div> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="SOUPS">SOUPS.</h2> - - -<h3>SOUP STOCK.</h3> - -<p>Any nuts with herbs dried and ground will nicely flavor and enrich -stock.</p> - - -<h3>STOCK FOR CLEAR SOUPS.</h3> - -<p>Place four onions in large kettle with a gallon of water, let boil -steadily two hours, then add one carrot, two small turnips, two -parsnips, three bay leaves, one head of celery (if celery leaves cannot -be had a saltspoonful of celery seeds may be used), one-eighth head -of cabbage.

The dumplings take about eight -minutes to cook, and the kettle should be kept covered all the time. -The soup needs to be carefully watched that it does not boil over or -burn; it is well to lift the kettle free from the stove every three or -four minutes, giving it a little twirl, but do not lift the cover until -the eight minutes are passed, for sudden reduction of temperature may -make the dumplings heavy.</p> - - -<h3>RICE POTATO SOUP.</h3> - -<p>To two tablespoonfuls of rice, thoroughly washed, add one potato cut in -large dice, one tablespoonful of finely chopped onion, and one-third of -a teaspoonful of celery seed; cook until tender, salt to taste, add one -quart of hot milk and one half cupful of cream.

Set in warm oven half an hour and the corn is ready to put in -bags; dry and clean.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_162">[Pg 162]</span></p> - - -<h3>WEIGHTS AND MEASURES FOR COOKS.</h3> - -<table class="autotable"> -<tr><td>1 pound of wheat flour is equal to</td><td class="tdr">1 quart</td></tr> -<tr><td>1 pound and two ounces of Indian meal make</td><td class="tdr">1 quart</td></tr> -<tr><td>1 pound of soft butter is equal to</td><td class="tdr">1 quart</td></tr> -<tr><td>1 pound and 2 ounces of best brown sugar make</td><td class="tdr">1 quart</td></tr> -<tr><td>1 pound and 1 ounce of powdered white sugar make</td><td class="tdr">1 quart</td></tr> -<tr><td>1 pound of broken loaf sugar is equal to</td><td class="tdr">1 quart</td></tr> -<tr><td>4 large tablespoonfuls make</td><td class="tdr">¹⁄₂ gill</td></tr> -<tr><td>1 common-sized tumbler holds</td><td class="tdr">¹⁄₂ pint</td></tr> -<tr><td>1 common-sized wine glass is equal to</td><td class="tdr">¹⁄₂ gill</td></tr> -<tr><td>1 tea-cup holds</td><td class="tdr">1 gill</td></tr> -<tr><td>1 large wine glass holds</td><td class="tdr">2 ounces</td></tr> -<tr><td>1 tablespoonful is equal to</td><td class="tdr">¹⁄₂ ounce</td></tr> -</table> - - -<h3>COLORING FOR SAUCES AND SOUPS.</h3> - -<p>Crush a quarter of a pound of loaf sugar to powder, put it into a -sauce pan with a tablespoonful of water, and stir it unceasingly over -a gentle fire until it begins to acquire a little color. Draw it back -and bake it very slowly, still stirring it, until it is almost black, -without being in the least burnt. It will take about half an hour. Pour -a quart of water over it, let it boil for a few minutes until the sugar -is quite dissolved, pour it out, and when cold, strain it into a bottle -and store it for use. A tablespoonful of this browning will color half -a pint of liquid.</p> - - -<h3>BOILING VEGETABLES.</h3> - -<p>It is very essential for health that all the properties of food should -be retained in the cooking, therefore<span class="pagenum" id="Page_163">[Pg 163]</span> the habit of boiling the various -vegetables, in an unnecessary quantity of water, and then draining this -down the sink, is a means of defrauding the organism of the nourishment -originally contained in the article.</p> - -<p>Potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and other articles requiring their skins -to be removed for serving or mincing, should, when possible, be steamed -“in their jackets” and peeled as much as necessary afterwards.</p> - -<p>Cauliflowers, cabbage, &c., are excellent when steamed. Green peas, -beans, and such, should be put in a covered vessel, with a little -butter, and, when necessary, a spoonful or two of water, and gently -stewed, standing inside a saucepan of water without the water touching -them; or they can be stewed in the oven in an earthenware jar, with a -little butter and a spoonful or two of water. This method of cooking -takes very little longer time than the ordinary boiling in water. The -oven should be moderately heated.</p> - - -<h3>STEWING FRUITS.</h3> - -<p>Fruits are better stewed in a double enamelled saucepan, or baked in -a tightly covered earthen jar in the oven with as little water as -possible.</p> - -<p>Dried fruits, such as raisins, figs, dates, &c., should be washed and -picked over carefully, then soaked for several hours in cold water till -they are soft and swollen to their fullest extent, when they should be -stewed in the same water.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_164">[Pg 164]</span></p> - - -<h3>USE OF SALT.</h3> - -<p>As little salt as is palatable should be used, and an effort made to -daily lessen its use. When once the system is freed from the use of -this mineral in its daily food, a small dose shows it to be an active -poison. There is enough of natural salts in our vegetable foods without -our making use of the mineral deposit. Knowing that many will use this -book who are just turning from the meat diet, we give, as a rule, the -usual quantity of salt in the receipts used in ordinary cookery. For -the same reason we give the ordinary beverages in daily use, in the -menus.</p> - - -<h3>BEVERAGES.</h3> - -<p>Fruit juices are far more conductive to good health than tea or coffee, -and we especially recommend lemon juice diluted with boiling water as -a breakfast beverage, though we have not ventured to place it on the -regular bill of fare. It is a most appetising morning drink, and should -be taken a short time before eating.</p> -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_165">[Pg 165]</span></p> -
