FOR COMMERCIAL KITCHENS i ste) ae ah In planning the above menus, most of the heavy ue cooking has been concentrated on Saturday evening. This task would be greatly lightened if everyone helped —and people are generally keen to offer their assistance — on these occasions, A knowledge of some little-known points regarding tinned and other foods would greatly add to the easy preparation and originality of the week-end menus. Tinned cream, which can be whipped, is an asset when fresh cream is not available. Such foods as grapefruit, prunes, grapes, fruit salad, peas, kippers, cod roes, curried foods, pilchards in tomato, all of which can be bought in tins, avoid much work, and are not as much utilised as they deserve. Two at least of the well- known brands of dried milks can be made into junket by mixing in the ordinary way and adding about twice the amount of rennet that is usually required. ‘Table creams, which require the addition of boiling milk, and coffee crystals which simplify coffee making, can be obtained. Biscuit pastries made in the shape of tarts are another convenience. They only require to be filled with jam. One or two general suggestions regarding the con-— version of store cupboard supplies into appetising dishes will amplify the recipes given at the end of the article. Most tinned fish or vegetables can be converted into appetising supper dishes by mixing with a white sauce, ~ flavouring well with salt and pepper, or a sauce, if available, and serving on hot buttered toast. Unsweetened condensed milk may be used for the sauce, thickened with flour or cornflour, or in cases of dire neces- sity, by other starchy ingredients such as breadcrumbs © or a patent breakfast food of the quickly cooked variety. Fish cakes can be quickly made by mixing some tinned fish with potatoes and frying without breadcrumbs. Tinned soups can be made to serve more portions by adding milk or meat essences and water. Dripping will keep almost indefinitely if strained
