Excerpt from Conservation Menus and Recipes This little book of menus and recipes grew out of the desire of the Riley Circle to aid in the food conservation movement during the war. We wished, to follow scrupulously every re quest of the Food Administration. At the same time we wished to keep our families well nourished and to be able to offer to them and to our friends food, so carefully prepared and so daintily served, as to bring refreshment to mind and body, and to keep alive the amenities of life during this period of stress and strain. Believing that the richly varied products of our country offer substitutes not needed by our Allies, which skillful handling could prepare for our own tables, thus releasing the more staple products for the war needs, we asked Mrs. Charles Lincoln Bartlett to use her well-known skill to outline for us menus which would accomplish this end. Mrs. Bartlett has here gathered together recipes which she has culled from the past and the present, from at home and abroad, and included many of her own creation. The distinct contribution which we feel she has made, however, aside from the substitution of other ingredients for those which it is nec essary to conserve, is the combination of these recipes into menus of balanced food value and delightful attractiveness. Wishing to allow all to share in this opportunity, we have persuaded Mrs. Bartlett to put these menus into published form and on public sale.

This book is part cookbook, part travelogue, part detailed account from front lines of the battle to save Africa's remaining wilderness from those who seek to exploit it. Cooking for Conservation features the recipes I developed while working at Camp Nomade, a luxury tented camp in Zakouma National Park in Tchad, a landlocked country in the heart of central Africa.
