Substitutes for Flesh Foods: Vegetarian Cook Book: Cooking in America

Published in 1904, Substitutes for Flesh Foods is among the first vegetarian cookbooks to be published in the United States. The book provides insight into what it meant to be a vegetarian in the early 1900s. Allowing for eggs and dairy, the book defines vegetarianism as the abstention from meat, substituting nut products where meat would commonly be used.
