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.

Cocoanut Cakes

8 ounces flour 3 ounces butter 1 1/2 ounces sugar 4 ounces cocoanut desiccated 2 teaspoons baking powder Whites of 3 eggs Mix the flour and butter together; then add the sugar, cocoanut and baking powder. Whisk the eggs to a stiff froth, and mix with the other ingredients thoroughly for a few minutes, then drop about a tablespoonful in little heaps on the oven shelf or baking sheet, and bake in a moderate oven for fifteen minutes. One-half a teaspoon of vanilla gives these cakes a delicate flavor and should be added at the same time as the egg to the other ingredients.
