Design for Dining


= N ar+hor-gourroet told a friend,
A~not long ago, that a good meal
is like a well-written story-com-
plete with suspense, surprise, and
a rousing climax. AS in fiction, the
basic ingredients in cookery are
few-but the ways of combining
them, of "dishing them up" are
practically Hmitless.
So take a tip from the author
and design your meals as carefully
as though you were plotting a
story. It's difficult, too. For first
you must design your dinner from
the standpoint of foodvalue; 1ext,
from the standpoint of ease Of op-
eration; and third, yoC must de-
sign it from the standpoint OF ap-
peal-favor and color and texture
and shape.
On all three counts we recon-
mend a veritable gem of a dish;
it will make your family beg for
more vegetables, please; or will, if
you ask it, stand alone as a proud
and luscious entree. We call it
Corn Ring" and we've been work
ing out the perfect recipe in our
experimental kitchens. A variation
of that old-fashioned favorite, baked
corn pudding, it offers. neverthe-
less, plenty of suspense and sur
prise and a rich-favored climax,
So creamy-soft and delicate that
it seems impossible you can IN
mold it like any other ring. Yet
that is just what You do-thereby
making a pretty design for dining
on the triple score of nourishment,
cooking ease, and attractiveness.
Fill the center with buttery green
peas or slivered string beans, and
serve it up proudly with a juicy
beef tenderloin or cracking roast
pork. Or use the corn ring as your
main dish by filing it with mush-
rooms, creared or broiled: or with
creamed sa1roon, its fakes left bi"
AID succulent: wreath it with raw
sliced tomatoes and little mounds
The Hagerstown globe., 1941-05-30

Of peas, alterna+;~~. vo"m have a
one-platter meal as Ids as it
is beautiful to the eye-a smart,
short story, in other words, com
plete on one page"
AS for the cookery itself, a corn
ring is so easy to make with your
modern electric range that you can
pop it into the oven, set the auto
matte timer, and forget it while
you set the table, toss up a crisp
salad, and get a bowl of fruit or
berries ready for dessert. Thanks
to heat that is so uniform and so
accurately controlled, even at very
low temperatures, you don't even
need to set the baking dish or ring
into a pan of hot water when you
place it in the oven. Besides the
added flip to flavor, there's an
other big advantage in baking your
vegetables instead of boiling them;
the excellent insulation of your
modern range holds all the heat
inside the oven, thereby keeping
your fuel expenses low, and your
kitchen cool. Nor is there any
"guesswork," for the automatic
timer and measured heat insure a
perfect result each time you use
the recipe, provided your measure
ments and procedure are exact.

The special appeal of salads lies
in their freshness and crispness.
