Too Much Fife"
Too much fire. too much heat,
too much water, was the general
criticism Mrs. Ihrig gave most
cooks. She demonstrated the proper
cooking Of vegetables Is a unique
way. Green beans, carrots and
beets were each cooked In only 3
tablespoons OF water in sealed
containers in the oven. In this man.
err, the steam created. cooks and
preserves vitamin content. Vege-
tables of the "hhage family should.
on the OF ID. be dropped into
enough r. boiling water to
cover them. l minutes is the
proper amount oil time to cook cab
bage in order to preserve its valu-
able food content. In fact, cabbage
should be served once a day.
In her more scientific instruc-
tons to the school, Mrs. Ihrig
stressed the vitamins contained in
fruits and vegetables especially the
orange and tomato. Mothers are
responsible for their children's teeth,
which require these certain foods
for healthy development" she stat
ed. People may joke about the
bride who "opens dinner from cans.
but there is really more food con-
tent in modern canned foods than
there is in poorly cooked fresh
vegetables.
