=Hints to Housekeepers.=
A few simple hints to those who are trying the vegetarian recipes in
this book may be useful.
Cooking utensils should be kept quite separate from those used for
meat, fish or fowl.
Nut-oil or nut-butter should always be used for frying, and the right
heat is known when a slight blue haze rises above the pan, or by
dipping a finger of bread in the oil, when if hot enough it will at
once fry brown and crisp. After frying it is always best to place the
articles fried on some folded tissue paper to drain out the frying
oil.
Marmite, Nutril and Carnos make good additions to stock for flavouring
soups and gravies.
In this kind of cookery there is no waste, all the food is edible and
anything that remains over from dishes can be put together and made
into curries, stews, cottage pie, etc., etc.
Excellent Salads can be made by the addition of uncooked scraped and
sliced carrots and beetroot; and also by chopping up very finely
celery, Brussels sprouts, French beans, green peas, cabbage, parsley,
onions, etc. The bright colours of these raw vegetables are most
useful in decorating galantines and other cold dishes, and when
arranged with regard to colour, make a most artistic garnishing and
are most wholesome.
Pea nuts, pine kernels, and hazel nuts are much improved in flavour by
being put in a baking pan in the oven until slightly browned.
Lemon juice is a good substitute for vinegar in all sauces.
For making a smooth soup it is a good plan to rub the vegetables after
they are cooked through a very fine hair sieve.
In making cutlets a stick of macaroni should be inserted in the thin
end of the cutlet to represent a bone, it may be fried or not with the
cutlet.
From several years' experience I have found the non-flesh cookery is
most economical, the expense being less than half that of the
corresponding meat dishes.
