"pUT two egg yolks into a small, cold bowl. Add one- ■^ eighth level teaspoonful salt, few grains of pepper, and one-half tablespoonful lemon juice; mix. Now add one tablespoonful olive oil, and beat — using a small, double, rotary egg-beater. Continue adding oil, a table- spoonful at a time, alternating with a drop or two of lemon juice until the desired quantity of dressing is made. From one-half to a cupful can be made in about five minutes. Cream Mayonnaise To a quantity of stiff mayonnaise add an equal quan- tity— or less — of whipped cream. This dressing should be used the day it is made, and kept in the refrigera- tor until it is ready to be served. • Pineapple Dressing MIX six tablespoonfuls pineapple juice, three level tablespoonfuls granulated sugar, two eggs, beaten, one level tablespoonful cornstarch, and one level table- spoonful nut butter. Cook over boiling water, stirring con- stantly, until smooth and thick. Remove from fire, cool, add three-fourths cupful of cream, whipped. Excellent for pineapple or other fruit salad when served as a com- bination salad and dessert. YOUR RECIPES 173 LIBERTY DESSERTS Easily Made — Not Expensive — Wholesome Remember to estimate the dessert as part of the nourishment of a meal, not as an extra for pleasure only. Sugar, fats, wheat flour are precious foods and must be used as such, not as luxuries. Cream is a most valuable food and one of the most wholesome forms in which fat can be taken; in addition, its use insures attractive dishes with little labor and no cook- ing. It must, however, during our period of milk shortage, be used with the utmost judgment and fair- ness. 12 174 FOOD AND FREEDOM w o J» ^^ p en _• <_..^ 3 •<?§ rr 2- "^ £J o ^ a> w ".^3- ►H, fD >" O ° ^35: p o2.^ "2. 3.-^?i 2 f^TO 2 O on Vi.

Cover the bottom with a layer of crushed dry bread-crumbs; add a layer of well- made, sweetened apple sauce, and dot this with a few bits of quince or other preserve. Now add another layer of crumbs, then more apple sauce, the bits of preserve, and continue until the pan is full. The last layer should be of crumbs. Cover top with bits of butter substitute. Bake in a moderate oven until a rich brown — about forty minutes. When slightly cool, turn out onto an attractive dish. Serve warm with cream, or with Custard or Ice- cream Sauce* or serve cold without cream or sauce. Pears, Delicious
