SPLENDID DINNERS CAN
BE MADE OF REMNANTS
How to Provide Tasty Dishes and Avoid Wasting Good
Food

I said practically" the same thing, but
in reality there is a difference And the.
difference is between going along on the
same dull level of doing things, or living
up 10 an ideal which demands conscien-
tious care and thought, with the desire
always to do a bit better than you did
the time before Say, what you will,
there is Something in name" and you
will accept with better grace "rectauffe
of beef" than beef warmed in its gravy"
The tendency of the average American
TO waste, especially in the matter of food,
has been great deal commented upon,
and there is enough truth in it to carry
the criticism along, instead of letting it
be decently buried.
One reason for this waste is that, until
quite recently, sufficient attention has not
been paid to cookery as either science
or an art, and that very many house
keepers do not know how to make the
best of the materials which they have
on hand, SO they can neither use them
themselves, nor teach others their posi-
bilities.
Then, again, we Americans have rath-
er lavish notions in regard to providing,
and are apt to assert that "the best is
none too good for US; we don't want

SEASONING is MOST
IMPORTANT FEATURE
Acme Of Good Cooking is when Seasoning can not be
Detected or Defined

barely a minute, and won't toughen the
meat fibre. If you use the dripping in
stead, dust the slices with salt before
browning. Remove the meat from the
saucepan onto a hot platter, and pour
into the saucepan the gravy LETT from
the roast; dilute with little boiling
water, from quarter to half cupful,
according to the amount you have; let
it just come to a boil, season to tie
taste with salt, add two tablcspoonfuls
of Worcestershire sauce, and pour over
the meat OH the platter. If you wish to
make the dish specially ornamental, you
may put border of mashed potatoes
about the edge and set it for a moment
onto the CRATE in the oven to brown.
To vary this, you may omit the
Worcestershire sauce, using in its place
half cupful of tomato sauce.
To make still another dish, leave out
both sauces, season quite highly with
salt, pepper, a dash of paprika and a
tablespoonful of lemon juice, and add
hall can of mushrooms. Let it simmer,
after the mushrooms are in, about ten
minutes Add the lemon Juice last of all
Here you have three ways of warm
ing beef in its gravy. any one of which
is delicious.

the boiling tomato, stirring ali the time
until it is we'll mixed Simmer for ten
minutes, add the salt and pepper and d

In cold weather this sauce will keep
a week or ten days, SO while you are
about it you might make an entire can
of tomato--doubling your Ingredients
then what you do not wish to use inn
'mcdiately you can bottle. You will use
this sauce for Dreaded mutton or veal
chops, for broiled fish, and to season
your curries and other made dishes. 1t
is convenient to have it ON hand, and it
is easily heated for use.
Whenever you open can of tomatoes,
if you are TO Use only half the contents,
pour the other half at once into an
earthen dish, as the harm that comes to
canned tomatoes is from leaving them in
the tin, exposed to the action of the air.
Taking from the can just the moment
it is opened will usually insure good to-
nlatoes, with all the favor of the fresh
| fruit
You had some roast beef left over
from yesterdays dinner; you are quite

is hot brown it in tablespoonful OF

needed in almost every made dish, Like
all other favors, this should be quite
unobtrusive, so subtle that it cannot be
| anayzcd; but it is one of the most i'm
portant factors in seasoning that can be
used, and it forms basis for all the
other seasoningS.
You may know that you have achieved
a distinct success in cooking when some
one tells you that the dish which you
have prepared is perfectly delicious, but
| that the particular seasoning cannot be
detected or defined Then, indeed, you
know that you have reached the acme
OF rechauffe preparation, an absolutely
correct proportion of favors, giving a
rare composite" perfection of season.
| ing, when none can be distinguished
above another, but all are blended into d
perfect whole.
First of all, tomato sauce is favorite,
as it is a commonly used sauce, with
those persons who have weil-trained
taste in food, and one of the most useful
bits of culinary knowledge is under
| standing how to make it. And it is not
a difficult task, either, but it requires, as
all successful cooking does, time, care
and patience. Now get your ingredients
together.
| You will use, for every half can of
tomatoes, one cupful OF water, two
cloves, two allspice berries, two pepper
corns, one tcaspoonful of mixed herbs
sage, marjoram, savory and bay leaf
two sprigs of parsley, one tablespoonful
of chopped onion, one tablespoonful OF
butter, one heaping tablespoonful OF
cornstarch, half teaspoopful of salt
| and half a saltspoonful OF white pepper

warmed-over stuff; things frst-hand for
us, if you please"
If you should ask me what, from my
standpoint, | consider the underlying
principle of successful "made" dishes, |
should reply without hesitation: Sea-
soning first, seasoning last, seasoning all
the time. There is the secret in nut
shell. You can vary the same dish in
definitely by change in the seasoning,
and serving it in different form
There are certain things which should
always be found in a wellstocked pantry
1t is not enough to provide the usual
list of -four seasons" the salt. pepper
vinegar and mustard; there shocld also
be Cayenne, one of the most valuable,
and, when properly used, healthful, of all
the list of condiments, and its more
delicate sister, paprika; celery salt to be
used when fresh celery is not obtainable !:
celery extracts for brown. soups and
gravies; Worcestershire sauce, curry
powder, horseradish, tomatoes, onions,
and, above all else, herbs, sage, sayory,
marjoran1, thyme, basil, rue and bay.
With this list of seasonings you can
cook all the year through, and have
something varied in the way of flavor.
For those who have not the facilities
of raising their own herbs, | would adj
wise buying them in punches or packages
from the druggist, rather than trust to
the ground herbs put up in boxes Also
buy your bay leaves at the druggists.
Only small quantity will be needed at
time, as you will probably never be
called upon for more than one leaf in
a dish for an average-sized family
