Meta H. Given (January 25, 1888 - November 1981)〔"Meta Given," ''Ancient Faces'', Internet website (), accessed August 1, 2014.〕 was an American nutritionist, home economist, and best-selling cookbook author. Given〔"And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required."--''Luke'' 12: 48, ''The Holy Bible'', American Standard Version (ASV), ''Bible Gateway'', Internet website (), accessed August 2, 2014.〕 grew up working on her family's farm in Missouri.〔Rest, Elvira. "Introduction." ''The Modern Encyclopedia of Cooking'', 2 vols, by Meta Given. Chicago: J. G. Ferguson and Son, 1947, xi-xiii.〕 There, little variety in foodstuffs were available, and after studying nutrition as an undergraduate at the University of Missouri and in graduate school at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the University of Chicago,〔"Meta Given's Modern Encyclopedia of Cooking." ''Library Thing'', Internet website (), accessed August 1, 2014.〕 Given grew interested in devising recipes that maximized the culinary and gustatory value of farm staples but minimized the cost to the consumer. Her best-selling ''The Modern Family Cookbook'' was first published in 1942; the ''Encyclopedia of Modern Cooking'' was published in two volumes in 1947. Both were revised and reprinted in succeeding decades and followed during the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s by other volumes about food and cooking. Given taught home economics for many years. She recommended that Americans help themselves each day to ten different categories of foodstuffs to ensure adequate nutrition: 1) milk; 2) meat (or cheese for those who don't eat meat); 3) green or yellow vegetable; 4) another vegetable; 5) potato (once a week pasta or rice can take the place but increase vegetable); 6) egg; 7) butter; 8) whole grain; 9) citrus fruit or tomato; and 10) another fruit.〔''My Life with Meta Given'', Internet website (), accessed July 31, 2014.〕 Meta Given died in Lakeland, Polk County, Florida, in November 1981.〔''Ancient Faces''.〕 == Books by Meta Given == * ''The Modern Family Cook Book'' (1942) * ''Modern Encyclopedia of Cooking'', Volumes 1 and 2 (1947) * ''The Modern Family Cook Book'' (1953) * ''The Art of Modern Cooking and Better Meals: Recipes for Every Occasion'' * ''The Modern Family Cook Book, New Revised Edition'' * ''The Modern Family Cook Book'' (1968) * ''The Wizard Modern Family Cookbook'' * ''Delicious Dairy Dishes''〔"Searching for Meta Given," ''Sandy's Chatter'', Internet website (), accessed August 1, 2014.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meta Given」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
