"In 1938 Davidow moved to Chicago, where he became president of a company called Consolidated Book Publishers, which continued to publish cookbooks under the CAI imprint, most notably The American Woman’s Cookbook, which drew heavily on the Delineator material. Edited by Berolzheimer, the Institute’s new director, it was published in 1939, one year before James Beard’s first cookbook. Over 800 pages long and one of the first—if not the first—cookbooks to use four-color photography, by 1943 it had sold a million copies, and by the early 70s eight million, according to Daniels. Early chapters on technique, temperature, meal planning, and table setting give way to recipe categories as varied as toast (ten recipes) , vegetarian (peanut and carrot loaf) , food for invalids (flaxseed lemonade) , and French (including, dubiously, gnocchi). There’s chicken a la king, there’s chop suey, there’s sweetbread-and-oyster pie. There’s also a glossary of foreign—mostly French—cooking terms and a chapter on cooking with wine that includes a chart grading various French wines." (Mike Sula September 11, 2008, Reader magazine, Chicago, IL). Very Good .
