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. " Most foods are more de
licious and ndurihing with sugar
