Meatless Cookery

Published as America rationed meat for the war, this is a whole cuisine built without it — nut roasts and cheese soufflés, dasheen and okra soups, vegetable gelatine, and a chapter on what to do with the whites of eggs.

Baked Crackers and Cheese No.1

9 or 10 butter crackers or Boston crackers 1/4 pound of cheese or 1 cup grated cheese 1 1/2 cups milk 1/4 teaspoon salt Flour Split the crackers if the thick sort are selected, or with a sharp knife cut them into pieces of uniform size. Pour the milk over them, and drain it off at once. With the milk, flour, cheese and salt make a sauce. Into a buttered baking dish, put alternate layers of the soaked crackers and sauce. Cover with bread crumbs and brown in the oven, or simply reheat without covering with crumbs.

The above is a very satisfactory substitute for macaroni and cheese, and can be prepared in less time.
