Recipe Roundup

An unusual but very good SALAD
may be made by combining cooked
celery knob (celeriac) with cooked
beets set upon lettuce leaves, with
q sour-cream dressing.
If you are not familiar with
celeriac, here is how it is prepared:
Buy firm, not too large (big ones
may be pithy), celery knob at the
market and trim it of roots and
leaves. Some people like to eat it
raw, but it is too strong for our
taste when served in that manner.
Peel the knob and cut 1t in A-inch-
thick slices. Cook these in boiling
salted water for about 20 minutes
until the slices are tender to the
fork. Drain them and set them in
the icebox to chill.
The beets, of course, are cooked as
usual, with the skins and taproots
on to prevent bleeding" When
they are done the skins are slipped
off under cold water, the roots cut
and the beets sliced and set to chill.
When time comes to serve the
salad, arrange the celeriac and beet
slices alternately, overlapping each
other, en- bed Of lettuce leaves and
dress with sour cream, to which
chopped chives and dash of horse
radish have been added.
There's a wonderful old-fashioned
dish that never loses its popularity,
with young and old alike-the
SHEPHERDS PIE. 1t was SO named,
by the way, because in the old days,
sheep herders would fix their dinner
to be taken out on the range by
filling a pail or small kettle with
ground-up cooked meat, topping it
with layer of cold mashed potatoes
and then heating 1t all up while they
watched the sheep. This was done
simply by hanging the pail crane
fashion from crossed sticks over q
glowing fire..
This, of course, was crude ver-
sion Of the Shepherds Pie we know.

II you put of canning peaches
during the hot weather in August,
now is the time to do it. The crop
from the Western States-Cali-
fornia, Colorado and Michigan
is here, the peaches are fine and
large and reasonable enough for

ing, too. Several varieties of pears
are to be had: Bartlett, Bose. Seckel
and d'Anjou. The sweet and spicy
Eeckel is the favorite for picked
and spiced pears, the d'Anjou for

soft for canning purposes. Plenty

The cool weather sent tomato
prices up; few local ones are seen,
anad the ones coming down from
Pennsylvania are green. However,
as some of our earlier vegetables do
the disappearing act OF Mother
Nature sees to it that others take
their place. Fall vegetables such
ar broccoli. Brussels sprouts, cauli-
flower, beans, eggplant, cabbage,
celery. beets, peppers, fresh black
eyed peas, Canadian rutabagas,
onions and sweet potatoes are here
to provide the makings for hearty
fall dishes. Incidentally, if you're
cooking red cabbage. be sure to put
some vinegar or lemon juice in the
water to keep the color-or even to
bring it back if it has faded. A tip
about the sweet potato family, too,
it's divided into two main groups, as
you know The dry variety is some
what mealy when it's cooked, while
the deep orange-red colored variety
is moist. This moist type is often
called a yam" but this is incorrect
since it's not the same as the true
yam of the tropics. Sweet potatoes
are rich in vitamin A, and also
furnish some vitamins Bs1, c and G.
Greens are much better quality
now, both the cooking greens and
those for salad. You can have your
choice Of collards, kale, turnip salad.
or mustard greens for cooking and
for the salad bowl either lettuce,
romaine, watercress, escarole, or
chicory. Try combination of three
or four OF the greens. the f1avors
complement each other. A few of

mustard greens adds nice sharp,

Add pinch of thyme, II you have 1t.
Now put tablespoon Of lard into
q kettle or deep stewing pot and
when it is hot. drop in the ham and
pieces of chicken. Cover the pot
and let the meats cook for about
10 minutes. Then add the onion and
herbs, stirring so that >things don't
start burning Now add 2 quarts OF
boiling water and 2 quarts Of heated
liquor from 3 dozen or so oysters.
Drop in half pod OF red pepper
that has been seeded and chopped.
Let the gumbo sit back to simmer
for an hour or so.
When it is nearly time for dinner
and the gumbo is bubbling quietly
along, drop in the oysters and let
them cook just until their edges
start to curl. Have tureen ready
or large serving bowl If you don't
own q tureen-Set in q larger con-
tainer of hot water. Once the file
powder is added, the gumbo never
must be heated over the fire again.
Now take tablespoons Of the fils
powder and drop it very gradually
into the boiling gumbo, stirring
slowly to mix it we'll. Pour the soup
into the tureen and serve 1t at
once. with rice. The rice should be
steamed dry and fluffy and is
brought to the table in separate
dish. A spoonful or so goes into
each plate and the gumbo is poured
on top.
Complicated as it sounds, this dish
is well worth all the trouble 1t takes.
The real secret of its success. as we
said before, lies in not reheating
the gumbo after the file has been
added. This tends to precipitate the
powder to the bottom of the kettle
and makes the soup stringy and un-
pleasant to taste.
