Traveling through a farm district recently, the writer found that the particular branch of cooking in which women were most interested was the making of cakes and desserts. At a demonstration lecture at a western university before 600 women the whole time was devoted to serving afternoon tea and showing how the cakes and ices and other desserts should be made. Now I do not wish to disparage the j ar ts of confectionery and the making j of delicious sweets, but I do think j that perhaps our women over-empha-. | size the need and time for making | desserts. Many girls proudly boast that they can make cake and fudge and concoct - delicious, if overly lich, salads, but can these girls make equally equally good bread, prepare meats so that they^are luscious and tempting and stew the plainer fruits so that they are wholesome and attractive ? I have said often that meats and vegetables are more poorly cooked in this than in any other country, and this statement is based on extensive travels abroad. On the other hand, we seem to emphasize the need of puddings, puddings, pie, cake and wrongfully stimulate stimulate too great an appetite for them in ou.- families. If wê want *-) classify the family according to taste, we might well begin begin with father, who feels the meal is incomplete unless he has a hearty triangle of pie at the end. Now, there is ^ nothing about a good pie to be criticized, but it is the one dessert which must be well made in order to be wholesome, and, second, it does take a considerable amount of time. Just why it should be a staple dessert dessert in many a home cannot be fathomed, fathomed, since all dietitians agree that the crust is not wholesoihe if eaten frequently or on top of an already generous meal. Then there is the child who will not eat the rest of his meal because he is so anxious for dessert, dessert, and whose taste has been educated educated beyond simple desserts like fTce pudding, cornstarch or fruit and who desires more elaborate puddings with sauces and, worst of all, whipped -eream. Whipped cream in itself is unobjectionable, unobjectionable, but when added to another another food which is sweet a ,d fat the combination often proves disastrous to one's liver! The cream itself is practically all fat, so that it should never be used with desserts which contain contain a large amount of fat or sugar in some other forpi. It is the exceptional dinner among middle class families across the Atlantic Atlantic which has anything for dessert except fresh fruit, cheese and crackers. Or stewed fruits which are called "compotes" may be served with a small offering of tiny cakes. There is much in favor of this simple tvpe of dessert which would mean so much less work for the homemaker and'few- er overburdened digestions^. Fruit, either fresh or canned, without much sugar, is the dessert which could be served every day and which would bo by far the most wholesome for children children and old people, who particularly need the salts and mineral values that food offers. Another more wholesome plan is to make a combination salad dessert at the end of a. hearty meal. So many delightful salads can be made even in winter or between seasons, that one often wonders why another course is passed after the salad. A sweet dressing may be used, especially with fruits,, and if accompanied by crackers or wafers and the cup of coffee or tea the stomach really should not crave or need anything else.
