In Milk, Butter, and Cheese, Parts
1 and 2, are explained the place that milk occupies in the diet, its composition,
grades, and the dishes for which it is used; the purchase, care, and use
of butter and butter substitutes; and the characteristics, care, and varieties
of both domestic and imported cheeses, as well as a number of excellent
recipes for cheese dishes. A luncheon menu, in which a cheese dish is substituted
for meat, is of interest in this connection, for it shows you, early in
your studies, not only how to combine dishes to produce a balanced meal,
but also how to make up a menu in which meat is not needed. In Eggs are
discussed the nutritive value of eggs, the ways in which to select, preserve,
cook, and serve them, and how to utilize left-over eggs. So many uses have
eggs in the diet and so nourishing is this food that too much attention
cannot be paid to its preparation. In this lesson, also, is given a breakfast
menu to afford practice in preparing several simple dishes usually served
in this meal. In Vegetables, Parts 1 and 2, every variety of vegetable
is discussed as to food value, preparation, place in the meal, and proper
methods of serving. With such a fund of knowledge, you will be well equipped
to give pleasing variety to your meals. In addition to the instruction
in these matters, there are many recipes showing certain steps as well
as the finished result. With such detailed information, it is our desire
that as many of the recipes as possible be tried, for it is only through
constant practice that the rules and principles of cooking will become
thoroughly instilled in the mind. Nothing is of more value to the aspiring
cook than such a knowledge of food and its preparation, for, as every one
knows, proper diet is the chief requisite of good health.
