BY JEANNE LESSEM
New York -ftW- A French
chef at a New Orleans hotel
defines Creole cuisine as
cooking
French the
Spanish way
a la Louisi
a ne. He might
also have men
tioned A f r i-
can. North
v American In
f dian, and La-
. i , tin American
jeinnt Laicm influences, in
cluding the Aztec and Inca
Indian tribes.
I asked, by letter, Rene Ni
colas, chef of the Roosevelt
hotel. New Orleans, the Or
leans Parish home demon
stration office, and Mrs, Helen
Hughes about the origins and
elements of this famous re
gional cuisine.
Credits Negro
' Mrs. Hughes, home service
director for an advertising
agency, wrote that she credits
Negroes for much of the crea
tivity in Creole cookery from
its early days of the 18th cen
tury to the present.
"They do much with little
with wild game, seafood, or
hot sausage (chauricc), plus a
few vegatables - collards, cab
bage, sweet peppers, eggplant,
mustards greens, parsely, hot
pepper, green onions and tops,
garlic, squash, pumpkin and
mirliton, a native Louisiana
squash," she said.
The home demonstration of
fice said the French-Canadian
housekeeper for Louisiana's
first governor was the f irnt
teacher of Creole cookery. At
the governor's request, Ma
dame Langlois conducted in
formal classes after irate
Frenchborn housewives, tried
of cooking and eating corn,
called on the governor to de
mand wheat.
Indian Methods
Madame Langlois showed
them how to prepare corn pal
atably, using Indian methods
to make cornmeal, cornbread,
hominy and grits. She also
taught them to use file (pro
nounced fee-lay), the dried,
powered sassafras leaves used
by Choctaws to season and
thicken gumbos, or stews.
She showed them how to
cook squirrel, bake fish with
savory herbs, make citrus
fruit vinegar, and crystallize
wild fruit.
Another Creole basic, adopt
ed from the French, is the
roux, equal amounts of fat
and flour blended to thicken
sauces and gravies. A Creole
roux usually is made with
fresh drippings instead of but
ter, said chef Nicholes, and
cooked to a chestnut brown
to thicken, color and flavor
highly - seasoned sauces and
gravies.
Roux is used in everything
from the familiar chicken fric
assee and shrimp jambalaya,
a tomato-flavored stew, to the
Patterned Hose
British Fad
London - IUPI) - An Ameri
can fad which flopped here
four years ago is back today
at the height of fashion-stockings
with patterns.
Known as "textured" in the
hosiery trade, the nylon stock
ings come in diamond and
lacy patterns. They are sell
ing as fast as they come off
the production line.
But the revival Is said to
be due to fashion influence
from the continent, and not
the United States.
"The style came in from
America four years ago but
died away," explained Mrs.
Ann Ford, marketing director
for a big British hnttpry com
pany. "Now it is with us again be
cause of the continental influ
ence in textured hose, which
is more important than the
U. S. Influence.
"Britain imported a lot of
Italian textured stockings and
they sold so well that now
they are made here."
She said the craze for the
stockings stems from "the
novelty and the way they
draw attention to legs. They
are attractive and nice for
young people."

less well known red beans
and rice.
Red Beans
and Rice
The red beans and rice com
bination is believed to be of
Latin American origin. In a
heavy-bottomed pot, saute
three-fourth pound of ham
shank with bone, or one-half
pound of pickled pork or ba
con, until two tablespoons of
fat are rendered.
Remove meat from pan.
Stir in two tablespoons flour.
Cook until roux is dark
brown, stirring constantly.
Add three cups of water, one
cup of dried red kidney beans,
washed, one cup of chopped
onion, four garlic cloves, chop
ped, and one bay leaf. Re
turn meat to pot. Cover
tightly. Simmer two hours,
stirring occasionally. Salt to
'uiste and simmer one hour
more, stirring often. Serve
on cooked rice. Top with
meat and garnish with one
half cup of minced fresh par
sley. Serves four.
Sweetened condensed milk
is miik made by evaporating
a mixture of whole milk and
sugar. It differs from unsweet
ened evaporated milk in that
sugar is added. The final prod
uct contains from 40 to 45
per cent sugar. It is used
chiefly for desserts.
Pasteurized milk is milk
which has been heated to kill
any harmful bacteria. Milk
may be pasteurized by one of
two methods: (1) heated to at
least 145 degrees F. and held
for at least 30 minutes or (2)
heated to at least 161 degrees
F. and held for at least 15
seconds. Milk pasteurized by
either process is cooled imme
diately to 50 degrees F. or
lower.

Dry
Coin-Operated
Cleaning
Advances Seen
Homemakers can look for
ward to more coin-operated
dry cleaning establishments
and faster dry cleaning at
more convenient locations in
the future, according to Ore
gon State university home
economists.
In the two years that these
machines have been available,
4,800 do-it-yourself dry clean
ing shops have been establish
ed with anywhere from 2 to
32 machines each. More are
appearing each day. Some of
the machines are located in
commercial cleaning shops,
and others are combined with
automatic laundry centers.
What's ahead in coin-operated
dry cleaning?
Bernice Strawn, OSU home
management specialist, re
ports USDA outlook informa
tion which suggests that a
shorter dry cleaning cycle
may be generally available
before long as the result of a
newly-developed dry cleaning
solvent. This solvent can re
duce the dry cleaning cycle
from 15 to 20 minutes because
it evaporates very rapidly at
room temperature.
Satisfactory
The new solvent, sold under
the name Valclcne, contains a
detergent, a fabric condition
er, and an anti-static agent,
and is said to minimize toil
depositing and fabric shrink
age. Miss Strawn says that
reports on its action on fibers,
fabrics, colors and finishes
have been satisfactory. Val
clene has also been success
fully used on a test basis on
plastics, adhcslves and rub
bers which are used to make
up many garments. Before
this faster dry cleaning can
become generally available,
machines have to be develop
ed that will accommodate it,
however.
Improvements arc also be
ing made in existing dry
cleaning machines which use
"perc," tne most commonly
used cleaning solvent. Cycles
for these machines can be
shortened by about 20 minutes
through new developments in
the equipment.
Other innovations to look
for are improved spotting
service, shorter drying time,
and more pressing services.
Present cost of coin-operated
machines rules out home units
in the near future, Miss
Strawn notes.
