Subtle Spicing -
Novice Gourmet Cook Introduced
To Five Important Cooking Herbs
By MAXINE BUR EN
1 Statesmaa Woman's Editor
New cooks as well as old are taking a wider interest in
what many call "gourmet cooking." They're having fun pre
paring meals, and this type adventure not only makes prepara
tion of the food more fascinating it improves the cooking.
Everyone but the old meat and potato eater who never likes
a change will join with the cook in having fun with food.
Seasoning, the soul of cooking, is a fascinating subject
One can read books on herbs and spices like a novel and many
people do with as great interest as fiction.
In reading recipes, especially French, one comes across
some seasonings that whet the curiosity of those who do not
know them
Beginners in gourmet cooking (many art old hands in the
kitchen but new at attending to subtle flavorings) should know
first about these five important herbs.
Oregano is used as an herb or spice, dried or ground.
It has long been popular as a flavor for chili con came and is
- mostly grown in Mexico and Italy, though becoming much more
popular in the United States.
It is a good flavoring for porkdishes and -is similar to
marjoram in flavor but strongerBeef stews," meat sauces
and gravies omelet or boiled eggs are enhanced by a dash of
oregano. Try it sometime in spaghetti sauce. (The' word is
pronounced with accent on the second syllable, or-a'-gano,
long a.)
MORE HERBS .
Marjoram is a member of the mint family originally from
France. The leaf is delicious combined with other herbs in
stews, soups, sausage, poultry stuffings and is good with fish.
Try in beef soup or French dressing. I like a generous
sprinkling on stewed tomatoes.
Tarragon is slightly anise-flavored. : It is used in vinegar
for salad dressings. Tarragon is 'good in meat sauces, with
eggs and poultry. .Just before taking a broiled chicken out of
the oven, season with salt and sprinkle with finely minced
tarragon and serve with pan gravy.
Basil is also an herb which comes dried or ground. It has
a distinctive aroma and flavor and is good with meats in stews
and gravies. Thyme and fresh tomatoes make a fine flavor
combination Sprinkle over tomatoes on lettuce, add a vinegar
and oil dressing and salt and pepper and you've a wonderful
salad.
Make use of din when fresh or dried. Combine it with fish,
cucumbers or potatoes in salad or hot dishes. Good with sauer
kraut or macaroni. Try some on green apple pie when the
first of the crop come along.
USE FRESH
When you buy herbs or spices, say the authorities, note
the purchase date somewhere on the package and discard after
6 months. Age diminishes the bouquet and flavor of herbs .
and spices, rendering them less desirable. Buy in small quanti
ties, keep tightly covered because they dry out in air (slip
cover over the shaker part for better keeping). Never put a
apice shelf over the stove, the experts say.
Prepared mustard should be kept in the refrigerator.
One of the best ways to keep certain spices fresh for use
Is to grind them as used. The peppermill has taken its place
along with the salt shaker as an important kitchen item and
many folks have graters for whole nutmegs. Freshly ground
pepper has a pleasing bite and aroma that commercially ground
never has.
Next time a recipe calls for an herb which your kitchen
cannoth supply, get a package and know the pleasures of subtl
flavoring
