Seasonings, Sauces Make Savory Vegetables

Let's Eat Vegetables
A NEIGHBOR OE M IN K recent
ly had u dinner party for which she
engaged a cater-
ess.
W hen I
asked
her how
the party turned
out. she replied.
"Oh
wonderful!
Of course we had
a fancy dessert
a n d everything
an the platters was fixed nicely, but
the thing that Impressed me most
was how good the vegetables were.
We have the same vegetables that
she served but mine never taste so
good, yet there wasn't anything
particularly hard about the way she
prepared them."
Here again, it's the little things
that make the difference between
everyday eating and special enter
taining. But as my neighbor told
me. the tricks were simple ones.
Carrots were scraped shiny and
bright, left whole and dusted with
parsley and butter before serving.
The cauliflower had a cheese
sauce, and the tomatoes, dusted
with bread crumbs and broiled,
were really delicious. Little mounds
of green peas were still green when
served, and they Just had some but
ter, salt and a few mushroom caps
among them.
All the vegetables were placed
on a large platter with the cauli
flower In the center. And the vege
tables made as big a hit as the des
sert!
Vegetable tricks are simple ones.
The first caution to observe Is not
to overcook, thus destroying color,
texture and vitamins—even though
you can't see the latter.

one of the most Important Ideas has
been the use of color.
Take a look at recent showings
ot colorful wallpa|>er and fabrics
and you will realize the importance
of this idea. Daring combinations
are used, not with daring results,
but with interesting effect.
Colors which you might never
think of combining if you see them
separately are used with excellent
effects, and unusual and arresting
results. Naturally it takes something
of the knowledge of color to use
them effectively, but even those
who know little about basic princi
pics are being helped by stores who
coordinate rooms for the consumer.
In many cases you'll find colors
for paint and wallpaper, as well
as furniture and draperies already
selected for you. They come all
packaged, so to speak.
For example, if you like that love
