Allinson, T. R. (Thomas Richard)
Vegetarian cooking
2 oz. fine wheatmeal, 1 gill of milk, 1 egg, 1 teaspoonful finely
chopped parsley, 1/2 small grated onion, 1/4 oz. butter, pepper and
salt. Make a batter of the meal, egg, and milk, mix in the other
ingredients, pour the mixture into a buttered pie-dish, and bake the
batter 1/2 hour.
STEWED FRUIT AND CUSTARD.
Any kind of stewed fruit. _Custard_: 1 gill of milk, sugar and vanilla
to taste, and 1 egg. Heat the milk, beat up the egg, and stir the milk
into it gradually; pour the mixture into a small jug, place this in a
saucepan of fast-boiling water, keep stirring until the spoon gets
coated, which shows that the custard is thickening. Remove the
saucepan from the fire immediately, and continue stirring the custard
until it is well thickened. Then cool it, placing the jug in cold
water. When cold, serve with stewed fruit.

GREEN PEA SOUP.
1/2 teacupful green peas, 1 or 2 finely chopped spring onions, a
little butter, pepper and salt, a dessertspoonful of meal, and 1 gill
of milk. Cook the green peas and spring onions in 1/2 pint of water
until quite tender. Add the butter and seasoning, thicken the soup
with the meal (which should be smoothed with the milk), and boil the
soup for a minute or two before serving.
MUSHROOM TARTLETS.
1/4 lb. mushrooms, 1/2 oz. butter, pepper and salt, 1/2 oz.
vermicelli, cooked and cold, a little paste for short crust. Stew the
mushrooms in the butter, after having dried them and cut into pieces.
When they are cooked mix them well with the vermicelli. Line a couple
of patty pans with the paste, and bake the tartlets until golden
brown. Serve with vegetables.
EVE PUDDING.
1 teacupful of breadcrumbs, 1 small apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
fine, 1/2 oz. citron peel chopped fine, 1 oz. sultanas, 1/2 oz. oiled
butter, 1 egg well beaten, the juice and rind of a small half-lemon,
sugar to taste, and a few finely chopped almonds. Mix all the
ingredients, pour the mixture into a small buttered basin, cover and
steam for 1 hour. Serve with sweet sauce.

MUSHROOM SOUP.
2 oz. mushrooms cut up small, 1/2 small onion chopped fine, 1
dessertspoonful of fine wheatmeal, pepper and salt, 1/2 oz. of butter,
a little milk. Stew the mushrooms and onions together in the butter
until well cooked, add 1/2 pint of water, and cook the vegetables for

the soup thicken and boil up, and serve with sippets of toast.
