But carrots are not the only veget able In the braket, for, although the new ones are expensive and light' in flavour, we lure swedes, turnips, old potatoes, purple broccoli, artichokes and lots of others to keep the family health balance on the right side.

Careful Cooking

They need care in cooking, though, If you would retain all the valuable Mineral 'sulta.

When vegetables are tough and hard It is because they are not cooked enough, and it is wise to try your vegetables with a fork to make sure they are soft before serving.

If they are strong in flavour it is because they are overcooked. Watch the time for cooking, and drain the vegetables when they are tender. The same applies to cabbage: If it in over- cooked it will be a bad cviour and soggy in texture.

Here are some recipes for cooking and serving, potatoes.

Ison saucepans are easy to clean. All you need do with them is scrub thoroughly with plenty of hot water- jand soap, with the addition of a BCouring powder if they are very. dirty.

Have you groaned at the sight of greasy frying pans, baking-tins and saucepans, and scraped. painfully faway with a knife or scrow of news- paper only to find there is still slimy coating on the vessel which makes the dishwater unpleasant?

Next time the problem occurs try this method:-Put a tablespoonful of cooking salt in the pan, then fill it up with boiling water. Leave it until the end of the dish-washing, pour the water away, and you will find all the grease has gone, too.

Aluminium pols and pans must not one fato contact with anything strongly alkaline, such as soda. This will cause the metal to become black. The best plan is to soak or rinse the pans well, using cold water if any starchy foods or milk has been cook- ed in them. Afterwards rub with a wire-rag, or you can use sand and Balt.
