Plasmon is a
white granulated substance, devoid of scent or flavour ; so
it can be easily manipulated, and when used in cookery
does not alter the taste of any dish. It is, therefore, safe
to use. Now let us consider the advisability of using it,
Well, Plasmon is the scientifically prepared albumen of pure
fresh milk. It is an albumen which is in no way altered,
so that it possesses all the nourishing qualities of the albumen
of meat, white of egg, or milk, without the bulk of water.
Unlike the casein of cheese, the albumen in this preparation
is chemically unaltered ; consequently it is quite digestible
and easily assimilated. As albumen is the chief requisite

of the human system for the restoration of waste of muscle,
nerve, bone, etc., etc., the importance of this substance will
be at once recognised. As Plasmon possesses no flavour
or scent, it can be safely added to any dish, with the surety
that it will add enormously to its nourishing properties, and,
moreover, assist in making it light and digestible.
In practice it is found that Plasmon can be used in endless
ways, and that, if properly handled, it adds to the lightness of
cakes, bread, and sweets, and gives a rich, smooth character
to savoury and vegetable dishes. As a mere enricher, it can
be sprinkled over a dish like salt, but for cookery purposes
it requires a little skilled preparation.
The following recipes have been compiled to serve as a
guide for the numerous ways in which Plasmon can, with
profit and advantage, be used in cookery. These dishes, and
the directions given to show the best way to prepare them,
will amply prove all that is claimed for Plasmon. The hints
given will be found useful. This, added to the knowledge
gained by experience, should help to make all dishes in which
Plasmon is used — and there are but very few indeed where
it cannot be employed — more nourishing, and therefore more
profitable.
Variety in food often offers difficulties. There are not
many varieties of meat, but few species of fish, and not too
many vegetables. How, then, can one obtain variety ? This
is answered by Plasmon, which will prove an excellent aid to
bring about variety, by taking the following recipes as a basis
for a number of other dishes by merely substituting the chief
ingredient for another. Variety, it is often said, not only
charms the palate, but frequently it is the means of creating
an appetite in those to whom the mere thought of food has
been distasteful. Good cooking does not always mean ex-
pensive cooking, and, as a rule, the best cooks are the most
economical. The use of Plasmon spells interior economy ,
because when properly blended and treated upon correct
culinary lines, food thus prepared fulfils that important mission
of making it more wholesome, more varied, more pleasurable,
and therefore more profitable in the end.
We are indebted to the August and September (1903)
numbers of “Food and Cookery,” edited by Mr. C. Herman
Senn, for a number of the recipes appearing in this book.

WHAT PLASMON IS.
The name PLASMON distinguishes our preparation of Milk
Albumen or Casein from the analogous preparations of all other
Manufacturers, and is our Registered Trade Mark.
LASMON is the albumen of pure fresh milk in the form
of a dry, soluble, granulated cream white powder.
