Evaporated milk is most satisfactory for cream soups; for sauces
for vegetables, fish and meats. Whipped for puddings (undiluted).
Used diluted, it gives splendid results in cakes, muffins, biscuits
and other flour mixtures. As cream for coffee, cocoa and chocolate,
cereals, fruits and puddings it adds food value and flavor. As a
beverage diluted with water or for eggnog it is just as satisfactory as
ordinary milk for children. For ice creams and custards, cream candies
and fudge it adds a smoothness and creaminess.

TISSUE BUILDING FOODS
CHEESE
Cheese has an important mission in the dietary; served as an
accompaniment, it adds food value, flavor and distinction. In large
quantities it may take the place in food value of the meat dish. It
must, of course, be served in combination with vegetables or cereal
food to supply the proper bulk.
Cheese contains protein and fat. It builds tissue and creates heat and
energy. For variety it may occasionally be served as the main food for
a meal—and adds zest when used in salads and other table specialties.
In fuel value, one pound of cheese is equal to three and one-third
pounds of baked beans—or three quarts of whole milk, twenty-five
average size eggs, or of peanut butter approximately three-fourths
pounds.
