What is The Hygienic Cook Book : the American Antiquarian Cookbook Collection about?

Published in 1876 in Michigan, __The Hygienic Cook Book__ was part of the 19th century health reform movement that stressed a vegetarian diet to achieve wellness. Author John Harvey Kellogg, an American physician, took the health reformer's diet even further by emphasizing abstinence from caffeine, alcohol, spices, condiments, dairy, eggs, and vinegar. Kellogg believed that "[c]ondiments are innutritious and irritating....they irritate the digestive organs, impairing their tone and deranging their function." Above all, he stressed the importance of bowel health for an overall healthy body.Along with tips for reforming the diet as well as reasons for abstaining from animal products, spices, and condiments, __The Hygienic Cook Book__ also contains wholesome recipes such as Johnny Cakes, Potato Bread, Apple Brown Bread, Graham Crackers, and Peach Toast. While Kellogg's hygienic diet might not be for all tastes, __The Hygienic Cook Book__ offers a fascinating look into the 19th century's new focus on a healthier diet.This edition of __The Hygienic Cook Book__ was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts.
