GELATIN FINDS A
WORLD or USE IN
DISHES FOR SUMMER

The hot weather brings a desire
for dishes, and even whole meals,
that are cool, both in appearance
and taste. TO effect such dishes
there is no better medium to use
than the ever-ready gelatin. 1t
may be used to present everything
in the menu from soup to dessert
in a chilled form if desired.
The plain, mflavored gelatin is
best to use in general meal plan
ming, as the flaYors and seasoning
may be better controlled by the
user. There are no difficulties in
using this gelatin. One has only to
learn that it must be slightly soft
ened in a small quantity of cold
water before it is dissolved in hot
water or any other hot liquid that
is to be used.
One tablespoon of the gelatin
will set one pint of liquid mate
rial If the liquid is slightly
acid, or if one is in a great
hurry to have the dish ready for
use, more gelatin may be used.
Use in Clear Bouillons
ANY of the clear bouillons or
consommcs make Il delightful
beginning Of a meal if they are
in the solid, chilled state. If the
natural gelatin in the stock is not
enough to set them, gelatin may
be used. These soups are more
appetizing in appearance if they
are well beaten before they are
served. Chicken bouillon or beef
consomme are always good seiec-
tions TO serve in this form.
Among the great dishes that
NAV be served cold are the jellied
meats. the meat mousses, and the
iellied meat salads and loaVeS
Cold sauce are sometimes served
with cold meats just as hot
sauces ere with hot meats. The
favorite or these is a Claud
Froid sauce which has been stiff
fened with gelatin. This is made
bv adding one tablespoon of
softened gelatin to white sauce
which has been made with y
white or chicken stock instead ot
milk. The meats arc coated with
the sauce which is allowed to stiff
fen before serving.
