The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-12-17
By JANE HOLT New York TimeSl

Though it's not essential to the well-stocked pantry shelf, there are few things more satisfying to have on hand than sherry. Not only does it offer a delightful ap- petizer and a pleasant change from cocktails, but it is an excellent aid in cooking, adding flavor to almost any dish except one containing red meat.
 Happily, the idea that wine cook cry is an elusive art involving special techniques that only the gifted chef can master is rapidly disappearing More and more everyday" cooks are discovering the simplicity of achieving inter- esting effects with wine There is little else to it, in fact, than add ing the beverage, usually toward the end of the cooking time, just as one might add any other season. ing.
 But here it might be well to re- peat what has been said many times before-that there is no such thing as a cooking wine. And that goes for sherry as well as any other sort. If it isn't fit to drink as is, 1t is no more fit to consume when mixed with food
 Usually dry or medium dry sherry is preferred ill preparing most dishes, barring desserts, in which case a sweeter sort may be more desirable The following sug- gestions as to what foods combine well with sherry may prove help full to the novice.
 Soups
 A minute or two before removing from the fire add two teaspoons of sherry for each serving. Try it with consomme. oyster stew, cream of mushroom or asparagus soup
 Fish
 After removing fried or sauteed fish from the pan add a tablespoon of sherry for each portion to the drippings. Heat slightly and pour over the fish. Or, use sherry to flavor creamed fish and shell-fish dishes.
 Poultry w Baste roast chicken or fowl with liquid consisting of two parts water and one part sherry.
 Gravies And Sauces
 Add quarter-cup of sherry per cup of gravy. Add three table spoons per cup of sauce, after the sauce has thickened and before re- moving it from the fire. Sherry is best with light meat gravies, cream sauces and caramel, custard or hard sauce.

Sherry Does Something"
 Truly Tantalizing Which
 Beiters Most Everything
Desser.s

DeSSeF-5
 Use freely over fruit, about one fourth cup per serving. In baking use two tablespoons per cup of the total other liquid ingredients. It goes well With baked grapefruit, nesselrode, cookies, fruit cake and cake and cooked custards.
 The question of what to offer your guests with sherry as an ap- eritif is more difficult these days than it once was. The delicious sherry biscuits formerly imported from England are missing now and similar types are hard to find Any light, slightly sweet or dry cracker, however, will go well with it. We are inclined to favor unsalted nuts as an alternative.
 The name sherry, Interestingly enough, is derived from Jerez de la Fron terra, the town where the famous wines of Spain originate. From Andalusia, the southernmost province of that country, come the white grapes from which it is made. Baskets of the fully ripened fruit are brought by burros from the vineyards to the winery, where they are emptied onto straw mats to dry in the sun for hours Then they are spread out in shallow wooden containers. called lagars, and trodden out in the old manner by human teeo.
 The juice is drawn off in caken butts or casks and put into store houses to ferment leisurely Tf.e entire process of sherry making in Spain is, in fact, unhurried Early in the winter. about three months after vintage. the wine is opened. tasted and classified according to character. Sherry, like port and madeira, is a fortified wine, which means that at a certain stage fer mentation is stopped by the addi- tion of some brandy. Since no two butts, even from the same pressing, yield exactly the same wine, the blender must be sensitive to various shadings of flavor The alcohol content of fortified wines is, of course, higher than that of other kinds. In sherry it ranges from IT to 21 per cent.
 In this country the process has been altered somewhat by the addi- tion of power presses, but the fine sherry grapes grown in California and other states produce the true sherry flavor as well as the other characteristics of the famous Jere2 wines. Most connoisseurs seem to think that the best American sherries compare favorably with all but the finer imported wines.
