Salt, pepper and butter are the universal
seasoners but besides these there are
numerous savory herbs and vegetables
which, If used judiciously, add much TO
the flavor of certain dishes. Onions car

most often used for seasoning: When
used only as flavorers. they should be tied
together and cooked twenty or thirty
minutes and then removed.
The flavor Of fried vegetables is much
more delicate than that of raw. To pre-
