While these are all that are strictly neces-

young people are apt to think they are

When making chocolate icing try using
little almond extract and you will never
so back to vanilla again, so delicious and

Our eyes sometimes play queer tricks on
our sense of taste. If we expect certain

Sugar must not be overlooked as a
flavor. for it is most important In bringing
out the taste Of insipid fruits. In flavor

those served warm taste somewhat
sweeter than when served at ordinary
temperature. and therefore REQUIRE less
sugar, while frozen deserts. on the other

more delicious for frequent use than Gin

Chocolate and coffee essences are ever
popular and should also occupy an inn

Cheese adds tremendously to the relish
