Capper's Weekly. NEW TREND IN SEASONING ' FOOD Heightening Flavpr Instead- of Changing It the Secret The problem of making certain wholesome foods tasty, used to be solved by serving them with rich, thick, flavorful sauces. Cooks have discovered, however, that there is a much simpler and more wholesome method to make essential foods palatable. The use of sugar is one ef the secrets. A dash of sugar to a pinch of rait ideally heightens the flavor of bland vegetables or those which have lost the sugar content so ap parent when fresh picked. Such use of sugar in restoring the flavor of peas, carrots, corn, string beam and turnips makes them more pleas ing carriers of the vitamins, min erals and roughage they contain. Doctors and dietitians recommend this use of sugar especially when children "shy" at these foods. The also are in favor of adding a dash of sugar to stewed fruits and to matoes to modify their sharp taste Many cooks keep a mixture of sugar and salt on hand for season ing purposes. Equal parU of sugar and salt are popular but the taste preferences of the family and the food in question should be con sidered.
