The Ulcer Diet Cook Book - 1963 vintage recipes for ulcer sufferers!

"Here, safely within the limitations of the prescribed diet, is that dash of flavor and that touch of taste that every ulcer victim yearns for. The list of 'allowed foods' the ulcer sufferer may safely eat forbids many favorite types of food, all spices, and almost all of the condiments which give verve and taste to a meal. As a result, he finds himself subsisting on a bland and tasteless diet which can make mealtime a nightmare instead of a pleasure. As a gourmet and amateur chef, Harold Rubin was harder hit than most when he was stricken with ulcers and had to forego the pleasures of the table. So, under doctor's supervision, he began to work up recipes which were flavored for maximum taste while using only the allowed foods..." - The Ulcer Diet Cook Book - Harold Rubin.
