Wednesday, July 1, 1959 / THE McHENHY PLAINDEALER COOK; CORNER by Marie Schaettgen ^Many cooks of many counts, French, Italian, German or American, know the value of using herbs in their recipes; but few have mastered the art of herb cookery to the degree of perfection achieved by the proprietress of an internationally known restaurant in Evanston. But, of course, herbs and spices are not the only ingredients of her incomparable reci »J®s. She has that indefinable something that tells her when a recipe is just right, that same something possessed by thcSse we know who seem to cook "by guess and,, by golly". Meat of fine quality, vegetables fresh and firm, rich butter and eggs, combined with supreme skill-- that's the secret of this lady's success. And what a success that is! ®Her restaurant is located in a modest neighborhood; her appointments are simple and homespun, but she herself is anything but simple and homespun. Her personality sparkles, her accomplishments are many. She is a painter; she is a winter; she is a perfectionist in all things. About thirteen years ago she ive up her job as telegrapher, frrowed money, using her enthusiasm and genius as collateral, and set up shop. There she greets many guests from far places and near. Her tables have been graced by the famous of many lands. Her restaurant and her peronality have been described in glowing terms in many well-known publications such as Esquire, luse Beautiful and the Chirgo Sunday Tribune. Many maitre d's in European restaurants have recommended her restaurant to their travelling patrons. She has been the recipient of many awards and citations, including an international award in 1955, one from McCall's magazine in 1956 and a national award in 1951. Among her treasured testimonials^/ is one from amie Down Eisenhower. Despite all this imposing background, when you dine at her establishment you are the most important person in the room, if you can judge by the attention given you. Her recipes are her secret, but I'm confident she would not object to a description of a few of her "dishes". On the jnenu was Fettuchini, which proved to be home-made noodles, tossed in butter and spinkled with Italian Cheese, this I should have known, since my ancestors were born 'in Rome. Toroni was spumoni (Italian ice cream) rum flavored and decorated with chopped nut, pistachio I think. Her broiled chicken was done to golden brown and forkfljender. Her salad with her special dressing was as smooth as is the lady herself. Garlic bread showed the touch of her fine Italian hand. I hope, sometime in the future, to be able to give one of her recipes in this column but for now,, may I say "A Rivederci." HSCAPE PEST "INVASION" Stillman J. Stanard. director the Illinois Department of Agriculture, said the threatened "invasion" of the dread soybean pest, the syst nematode, from Kentucky and Missouri has not materialized, although the insect has been reported within 30 miles of Illinois' southern border. "The s o y b e a n i n d u s t r y . " S t a n a r d said, " is the second largest crop in Illinois, and Illinois is ftlhe leader among the states in production. For this reason we have to be extremely alert in preventing the pest from invading our state." The Division of Plant Industry has analyzed soil samples for the presence of the cyst and to date none has been found. When you're hunting birds these days, remember that Mhose you see were spared by sportsmen who stopped shooting when they had the limit last year, or earlier this year. Speaking of MONEY! You can make it quick and easy by disposing of unneeded belongings, or renting a spare room through a Plaindealer Classified Ad.
