SLOW COOKING MAKES WINNER OF POT ROAST Vegetables and Seasoning Provide Means of Varying Dish. The method of preparing anv pot roast is basically the simple process of braising. That consists of browning the meat on all sides in hot lard, adding a small quantity of liquid and seasonings, popping or a tight cover, and allowing the meat to cook very slowly until tender. This long, slow, moist cooking is what permits you to use so effectively the less tender cuts, for it softens the connective tissue until the meat, is tender. The chuck or rump roast of beef are always good cuts to use, and you may a k the market man to bone and roll them for you, if you like, for easy carving. The meat must be fairly thick for superlative results, so the piece may weigh anywhere from three to six pounds. Although the method remains the same for ail pot roasts, there arc really dozens of excellent variations upon the themes of the liquid to he added, the seasoning, and the addition of accompanying vegetables. Spanish Pot Roast I pound' hfcf rhurk 1 ho! 1 1* of 'luffed olives \ i pound salt pork 2 cups stewed tomatoep 1 larce onion 2 teaspoons salt V* teaspoon pepper Lard Make small slits on each side of the meat with a sharp knife. Cut the salt pork into narrow strips, and stuff the slits with these strips, alternately with the stuffed olives. Slice the onion and brown in hot; lard, then put on the meat and ; brown it as well, not neglecting one bit of the surface. Add the tomatoes, cover closely ' and simmer until done. Strain and thicken the liquid for gravy. Pot Roast With Prunes Brown a chuck pot roast in lard in a hot kettle. Season with salt ; and pepper, and add two cups of boiling water. Next put in three dozen prunes which you've soaked since the night before, cover, and simmer until the meat is tender. Before serving, fish out the cooked prunes and season them with sugar | and lemon juice or vinegar to serve as a delicious relish for the roast, and thickrn the liquid in the pot for a most unusual gravy. Pot Roast With Vegetables A pot roast with vegetables i: always worth talking about., so heroes a recipe for one that you're sure to repeat, once you try it.

Cover and simmer slowly for about three hours, during the last hour of which the whole vegetables and a little more hot water are put in. Don't forget these two things in serving the roast—arrange the vrgr* tables in a semblance of order and attractiveness around the meat on the platter, and under no conditions waste a drop of the delicious gravy that the thickened juices will make. Pat Roast With Sauce I pounds brrf pot-roast, bottom rhurk roll 1 small bottle horseradish Salt and pepper Brown the meat on all sides in hot lard or melted suet, and season with salt and pepper. Then drain the liquid from the horseradish, and pour the remainder over the ; pot roast. Cover snugly, lower the j heat, and simmer gently until done. Turn the meat several times during the cooking so it will be all nicely i flavored with the horseradish, and j then watch the diner's eyes brighten when they catch the tang in the ; tender meat and the good gravy, MUCH COOKING NEEDED Hurrying Preparation of Veal Cutlets Impairs Quality. Breaded veal cutlets would ire nice on a day when the week's food money is still at- hand and one is not feeling too thrifty. Sprinkle the slices with salt and pepper, flip them in crumbs, then in beaten egg. then again in crumbs, put in a heavy frying pan with a little butter, brown on both sides, cover the dish, reduce the heat and cook for 45 minutes. Veal needs a lot of cooking. Don't try to hurry it.

EGG ROLL IS GENUINE ORIENTAL FOOD

t : :

—Prepared by Li Many of the foods known as Chinese are at best only adaptations of native dishes. Egg roll, However used as an appetizer, is the real thing in orientalism. So if you want to serve a Chinese dinner that is different, you might make egg roll the main dish, for it is substantial enough if combined with vegetables and preceded by a hearty fish soup. Every large city has stores where the supplies needed for concocting a Chinese meal may be bought—mast of them, by the way, have to be imported from the homeland. How to Make Egg Roll For egg roll you will need: Four cups flour, 1-4 pound waterchestnut flour. 3 eggs. 1-2 pound fresh or canned shrimps, 1 can bamboo shoots, equal quantity roast pork. Mix flour and waterchestnut flour with water to consistency of light batter. Add lightly beaten eggs and mix. Heat a nine-inch iron frying pan and oil lightly with a bit of crumpled oil paper dipped in cooking oil. Pour in enough batter to completely cover bottom. Pour off batter, although if you are careful you can pour in only enough to evenly cover bottom of the pan. Fry until whitish. Remove to a smooth surface such as the bottom of an upturned platter. Bake batter into these thin, unbrowned pan cakes. To prepare fresh shrimps, plunge shrimps into boiling salted water <2 teaspoons salt to 4 cups water* and boil until they turn pink, about 10 minutes. Cool and remove shell. Clean.

Low Temperature Needed in Making Best Pastry

Master Chefs Insist oh Cold Utensils and Ingredients. Long known to skilled pastry j chefs and a very few ho vise wive.; who were fortunate enough to pick up the information as it; riowly passed from one to another,! the fact that pastry making is es- ; sentially an operation which re- j quires cold is at last obtaining deserved circulation. Chefs whose reputations have been founded upon their art in j pastry making alway insist on cold. 1 Their lard or shortening must be j thoroughly cold when it is cut into the flour.- Ice water is used in mixing. and the dough is chilled for hours, often overnight if time permits. So that none of the effects of this cold treatment are lost in handling j the chefs chill their utensils and j keep their rolling pins in as cold a place as possible until just before rolling out pie crust, shells, or other i pastry. Special Pastry Set Seeing in this state of affairs an j opportunity to enable its customers i to obtain more service out of their j electric refrigerators. Manufacturers j have introduced a refrigerated; pastry set. developed to aid the j average housewife in taking greatest j advantage of the secret of thej pastry making kings. The pastry set consists of a re- j frigerated rolling pin and a thick pottery bowl which holds the cold j for storing the pastry dough on the food compartment shelf. The hollow china rolling pin.t when filled with ice water and, chilled several minutes in the dofrosting tray, acquires and holds ! cold to a degree impossible in an ordinary wooden or metal rolling pin. The pastry bowl when in use j for chilling dough is set on the; bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Tarts for Dessert A dessert of high deliciousness is the apple or new rhubarb tart, shining with that glazed, sugary and juicy look and topped delicately with whipped cream. A tart is a combination of pastry and fruits, berries or custard filling, of which every mouthful is tempting and tender. Its definition is a "small, open, fruit pie" and in its making, all depends upon the shells which should be tender, flaky and a delicate pale gold when taken from the oven. The lack of any new fruits in the

Put into a square of cheese cloth and squeeze out excess juices. Put about 1-2 cup of this mixture in each pancake and roll up like a jelly roll, folding ends under and making a roll 1 1-2 inches in diameter and about 6 inches long. Seal with a little batter reserved for this purpose. Heat cooking oil in deep-fat-fry-ing pan to 375 degrees on deep-fat thermometer, or until an inch cube of bread browns in 60 seconds. Put in egg roll and cook until brown. Eat with a dash of English mustard. Chinese Omelet One egg, 2 tablespoons shredded mushrooms, canned or fresh or dried ones soaked. 2 tablespoons ; shredded lean pork, 2 tablespoons bean sprouts, j, teaspoon soya sauce.

market, with the exception of rhubarb, may decide in favor of a butterscotch banana filling or the chocolate ice cream and meringue filling given in the recipes below. Rich, tender, flaky pastry for tart shells, as for pie crust, depends largely on the element of cold. Cold water should be used in combining ; the crust and the dough should be chilled before baking. The individual chocolate meringue pies given below' are a radical departure from the accepted idea of tarts. In fact, their English forebears wouldn't know' them. Individual Pies Simply fill baked meringue shells wdth chocolate ice cream. Cover completely with a thick meringue made of stiffly beaten egg whites and sweetened with confectioners’ sugar. Put in hot oven, 450 degrees, to brown. Meringue Is a poor conductor of ; heat and if the ice cream is well i c overed with it. the meringue is} browned before the ice cream be- j gins to melt. When ready to serve.! pour chocolate sauce over tarts and serve at once. Banana Butterscotch Tarts I can carmrli/.rd condensed milk 8 baked pastry tart shells ~ hakrd pastry tart shells 1 tablespoons hot water Carmelize the condensed milk by placing the can of milk in a pan of boiling water. Keep at boiling temperature for three hours. Make sure that the can is kept covered with water. Chill. Blend one-half can of the carmclizcd milk with the hot water. Fill the baked pastry shells threefourths full of carmelized milk. Slice the bananas thin and fill each shell by arranging the banana slices on top of the caramel. Garnish with whipped cream and serve. Dainty Apple Tarts Peel, quarter and cook in water six tart apples. When tender, mince fine and chill. Beat the whites of three eggs very stiff and add one-half cup of powdered sugar. Fold in finely chopped apples and add a dash of vanilla. Place in partly baked pastry shells and continue baking in a slow oven, 300 degrees, for 15 minutes. Chill in refrigerator and top with whipped cream. Apple filling sufficient to fill six medium tarts. A cheese pastry crust for these or other apple tarts is suggested. This may be made by adding grated i cheese to the flour before mixing the paste.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

NAM ADAPTED AS BASIS FOR MANY DISHES Cheese Savories, Mousse and Loaf Make Use of Meat. There are times in the culinary life of every cook when she wants ham, but a whole ham is out of the the question because she just can t use it all. Those are the times when she should consider buying ham in the form of a picnic shoulder or from the butt or ham shank. The picnic shoulder may be baked just as the whole ham. and in spite of its less imposing appearance, it’s very good that way. The shank, or the small end of the ham, may be cooked wdth vegetables, or cooked and chopped for any of the special dishes listed below. The butt may be sliced for frying, baked for a small family, or cooked to use in one of these made dishes. They all may be made from one or the other of these less expensive ham cuts. Cheese Savories * tablespoon* melted butter 2-3 cup grated cheese 1J rounds of bread 6 slices cooked ham. For each savory, dip a round of bread in melted butter and then on one side in the grated cheese. Place plain side down on buttered baking sheet, and put a similarly treated slice on top of that with the plain side up and a slice of ham in between. Brush tjie top with melted butter, and bake in hot oven until delicately browned. If you like, these may be served with hot tomato sauce. Ham Salad Put the ham through the food chopper, mix with mayonnaise and shape into small balls. Serve on a bed of crisp lettuce, garnished W’ith narrow strips of pimiento, green pepper, and slices of hard-cooked eggs. Ham Mousse This is a very dressed up way of 1 preparing leftover ham. It’s easy! to do however, and is excellent for a meal when you don’t want to bother with last-minute preparations. 2 cups cnoked hum. finely chopped T tahlrspnnn granulated gelatine ] pint thick cream 1 teaspoon mustard 14 cup cold water 14 cup hot water Cayenne Pound the chopped ham in a mortar with the mustard and cayenne. Soak the gelatine in cold water, and dissolve in hot water. Add this to the meat, and stir into the stiffly beaten cream. Turn into a mold and chill until ready to serve with Horseradish Saut e 1 tablespoon tarragon vinegar 2 tablespoons horseradish ’a cup heavy cream 44 teaspoon salt t teaspoon mustard 3 tablespoons mayonnaise Mix the salt, cayenne, vinegar and horseradish. Add to the stifflybeaten cream and mayonnaise. Ham Loaf 3 nips minerd cooked ham 3 springs parsley Is teaspoon pepper 1 cup milk 1 small onion 2 eggs Vx cup cracker crumbs 1 tablespoon prepared mustard 2 hard-cooked eggs Put the ham, onion and parsley through the food chopper. Add the beaten eggs, the cracker crumbs, pepper, mustard and milk. Pack into a well-buttered loaf pan, and bake for 40 minutes in a moderate oven. Turn out on a platter and garnish with slices of hard-cooked eggs. If the ham is very lean, put three or four small pieces of ham fat on top of the loaf before baking. This loaf may also be sliced to serve cold. Ham and Noodles In a buttered baking dish place a layer of broad cooked noodles, then a layer oi -hopped ham; alternate layers un. the dish is nearly full. The last layer should be of noodles. Pour over this two eggs beaten with one and one-half cups of milk. Dot with butter and bake for 40 minutes in a moderate oven. Serve with a well seasoned tomato sauce. This dish, plus a crisp vegetable salad and a dessert of fresh fruit, makes simple and appetizing meal.

JELLIED BEEF

4 nips cold cooked beef, ground 1 tablespoon Relalin '4 cup cold water 1 tomato, chopped 1 tablespoon onion juice ’* teaspoon pepper hot beef stork to cover Soak the gelatin for five minutes in the cold water, and then dissolve in the hot stock. Place the chopped beef, tomato and seasonings in a mold. Pour over those the gelatin mixture, and turn the whole over to the refrigerater for the finishing touch of chilling. PRUNES USED IN TARTS Only 15 Minutes Required for Oven Cooking. Cream one-fourth cup shortening and one-half cup sugar. Add a beaten egg. a teaspoon of grated lemon rind and one-half teaspoon vanilla. Sift together two and one-quar-ter cups flour, three teaspoons baking powder and one-quarter teaspoon salt. Add part of dry ingredients to first mixture and blend well. Add one-quarter cup of milk and the remaining flour. Chill dough in refrigerator, roll one-quarter inch thick, line muffin or tart tins, bake 15 minutes and when cool fill with a thick and seasoned prune mixture.

FOOD VALUE OF CHEESE SHOWN Department of Agriculture Reports Results of Experiments. The food value of a pound of cheese is something for housewives to consider when nourishing meals must be served for a small outlay of money. When thinking about milk as the best of all foods, women sometimes forget about its by-products, butter and cheese. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, in experiments which it conducted, young men were fed on a diet consisting of bread and fruit, combined with American factory cheese, which was made with different amounts of rennet and different stages of ripening. The results showed that cheese compared favorably with other food and did not cause physiological disturbances.

ORIENTAL FOLK SERVE LAMB WITH RICE

Lamb and Rice combined in Nourishing Hash

Lamb and rice is a food combination which comes down from antiquity in oriental countries where it forms the basis of their feasts even to the present day. When the sheiks of Arabia give a banquet—according to reports of travelers who have been their guests i —in the center of the festive board ; is a huge platter of hot rice and about this is placed lamb which has been cooked over an open fire. The guests are seated on the> ground about the food and after hands have been carefully washed ] in bowls which servants bring, the J corrc ct method of dining is for each ; to plunge a hand deep into the steaming, highly flavored rice and extract a fistful which is eaten with the meat held in the other hand. Arabian fingers were indeed made before forks, but there are still rules of ctiquet to be observed and pieces of a special kind of bread are neatly ; used to keep the fingers from becoming too stick],’. Table customs' are, after all, a matter of geography, but good food is good food, however whenever served. The platter of lamb and rice, pictured above, is a dainty replica of those far-off desert feasts. About a mound of rice are placed broiled lamb chops. Stuffed olives have been used to garnish the ends of the ribs ip place of the paper frills which originally were designed so that the meat might more conveniently be held in the hand. The curly endive which dresses up this dish has doubtless its equivalent in some green salad plant which the oases provide.

FISH COOKERY GOVERNED BY ' TWO METHODS Different Preparation for Oily and Dry Meat Types Required. There are only eight to 10 methods of cooking fish, but almost as many changes can be rung on these few methods as tunes can be composed on the 88 notes of the piano. A good meat cc-ok is not necessarily a good fish cook. The differences in the constituents of fish flesh and meat flesh demand that different methods be followed. Fish does not require the slow cooking given to many varieties of meat, as the connective tissue holding its fibres together Is more gela- v tinous, very *endcr and softens at once under the ap. ’ication of heat. Generally speaking, it is overcooked. with mast of the juices extracted and dried out. This must be guarded against. Fish which is to be cooked quickly in a hot oven should never have any | water in the pan. When water is j added, the fish steams and the juice j runs out. leaving a tasteless, insipid ! fish and a highly flavored juice or j gravy. It is well for the housewife to as- ! certain whether the fish she is purchasing can bo classed as a drv- ! meated or an oily-meated fish, for j it makes a difference in the cooking. | Ordinarily, such fish as cod. hadI dock, pollock and hake, may b I termed dry meated. while the salmon. shad, mackerel, herring, lake j trout and whitefish are rich and I oily. If the housewife is looking for a I fish to boil, steam, stew, or to maka ! into a curried dish, it is more satis- ! factory to purchase any of the drymeated varieties, for these will keep ! their shape and not go to pieces in i the cooking process. For the quick modes of cooking by the hot oven method or baking in general, the oily fish are more delicious. This is the best way to prepare them as, on account of their | abundant oil, they will fall to pieces j from their very richness if cooked in a manner requiring much handling.
