This "condensed home study course" covers "functions of food, methods of cooking, glossary of usual culinary terms," etc. The book was advertised in Simmons' Spice Mill periodical as "a hundred-dollar course in domestic science boiled down into a single volume by an expert ... who had the honor of baking President Wilson's wedding cake," and was offered by Calumet in exchange for two proofs-of-purchase plus 20 cents to cover mailing costs. The volume is illustrated with a number of charts showing various foodstuffs brokin into their "food material" composition; also present is a diagram shoing the ideal layout of a bungalow kitchen.
