Enjoy Your Vegetables! (Continued from page 55) full advantage of the variety of tastes. Most likely you don't eat more than seven or eight different vegetables. The second test concerns how much you know about their preparation. Mushy vegetables are tasteless and valueless, for their vitamins and minerals have been drained out. So it is important that they be cooked quickly in a covered pot with little water. Once you have learned to retain their flavor and substance with expert cooking, you can turn to the art of mixing vegetables. The Chinese are famous for their succulent, toothsome vegetable dishes. They have shown us that most vegetables are meant to be mixed with each other for there are tart, sharp and bland tastes in nature's foods. The simplest experiment is to flavor them with a little chopped onion, tomato, mint, pimiento or parsley. Spinach, for example, improves when mixed with a few lettuce leaves; a little onion with squash makes the squash taste twice as good; white turnips may be diced and cooked with their own chopped leaves. Remember the leaves of most vegetables are full of flavor, and a wise cook uses them profitably. Actually, herbs are made of leaves and greens before getting fancy French names. You may use herbs for poultry, meat or fish — what good cook doesn't? You know, then, how they improve the taste of a broil, roast or stew. But you may not have experimented with anything other than mint, parsley or chives in vegetable cookery. If so, you'll find basil improves eggplant, peas, beans, tomato dishes; marjoram's good with spinach, squash, tomatoes and mushrooms; thyme with carrots, peas and onions; a slight bit of sage with stewed tomatoes or string beans; rosemary with peas; savory with string or lima beans. And these are only a few suggestions of what may be done to make the vegetable delightful. Important, too, the use of natural flavor bonuses adds no calories to vegetables as do margarine, butter and butter sauces. You'll discover, also, that many of these herbs are delicious in salad dressings. Since most people find salads tasteless without dressing, and since salads are among your very best friends, it's worthwhile to take the time to make them appealing to the eye and palate — but with low-calorie dressings! If you must use mayonnaise, thin it down considerably with skimmed milk and lemon juice. French dressing, too, will taste just as good when mixed half and half with water or, -for variation, with milk. (In this case, salt the dressing a little first and whip the milk into it so that the milk won't curdle.) Vinegar, also, is a good agent for thinning oil and mayonnaise. Here, however, is our recommended, low-calorie dressing for all salads: % cup skimmed milk, lightly salted 1 teaspoon onion juice 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar 1 tablespoon minced parsley 1 tablespoon minced pimiento Sprinkle of paprika Combine milk with lemon juice and flavoring agents and shake thoroughly in small jar with tight-fitting lid. More or less lemon juice or vinegar may be used according to taste. And, of course, you can substitute any of a number of herbs, depending upon your taste. It's worthwhile to pay a little more for the best vegetables and they can be selected in the market by their appearance. When vegetables are bright in color and firm or crisp, they will have good flavor anjd high vitamin content. Most canned or frozen vegetables are so processed today that they are as rich in vitamins as market vegetables. You can see that all of these suggestions are just the beginning. There is no limit to what you can do in your own kitchen to improve on the vegetable so that it will be tasteful. To have health and beauty, you must eat proper food, prepared properly. So eat to reduce — but enjoy it! . ILXA1EMENT OF 1HE OWNERSHIP. MANAGEMENT, AND CIRCULATION REQUIRED BY THE ACT V,1:, S",-NGRES£.. OF AUGUST 24, 1912, AS AMENDED BY THE ACTS OF MARCH 3, 1933.
