<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Florence Nesbitt was not only a dietitian, but also a leading social worker involved in the mothers' pension department of the Chicago Juvenile Court, a member of the staff of the United Charities of Chicago, and a director of one of the food conservation sections organized by the Council of National Defense. In this 1918 work, Nesbitt combines her experiences as social worker and dietitian to fill the vital need of teaching financial and household management skills to poorer, less well-trained homemakers who had little access to books and classes teaching these skills. Her work provided vital information on the purchase, preparation, and serving of wholesome food, particularly for the urban poor. Through examples of individual householders who struggled to feed their families on limited incomes, Nesbitt outlined practical, definitive steps by which those with small incomes could get the most for their money. The skills she delineated are relevant to today's homemakers who continue to attempt to balance their limited incomes against the high costs of food, rent, and services.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Based upon her experience in social work among the rural and urban poor, Nesbitt's 1918 work provides vital information on the purchase, preparation, and serving of wholesome food on a budget. Using real-world examples, Nesbitt provides information on all aspects of household management, from cooking and cleaning to managing family dynamics.
