"than that of housework. To cook well and to present healthful food upon the table in an inviting manner, require intelligence and experience. The one who prepares food that is to be placed in our stomachs, to be converted into blood to nourish the system, occupies a most important and elevated position. The position of copyist, dress-maker, or music teacher, cannot equal in importance that of the cook. CE 21.2"
"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
The EGW passage emphasizes the importance of cooking and preparing food, connecting it to the nourishment of the body. This aligns with the principle in 1 Corinthians 10:31, which encourages believers to do everything, including eating and drinking, to the glory of God. The EGW passage applies this principle to the specific task of food preparation.
