"Science in the Kitchen" (1893) is a pioneering scientific treatise on food substances and their dietetic properties, authored by Mrs. E. E. Kellogg. As the superintendent of the Sanitarium School of Cookery, Kellogg introduces a "New System of Cookery" that applies the principles of chemistry and physics to food preparation. The work aims to move beyond traditional, uncertain cooking methods by providing a systematic, hygienic, and highly digestible approach to creating wholesome, palatable, and nutritious meals for the home.
