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.

Macroni Turnovers

2 ounces macaroni 1 tablespoon of butter 1 gill of milk 1 tablespoon grated cheese 1 saltspoon mustard Salt, pepper, cayenne Break the macaroni into very small pieces and cook in boiling salted water until tender. Strain, add the butter, milk, cheese and seasoning. Mix well. Make a short pie crust, roll it out thin and cut into squares. Put a spoonful of the mixture in the center of each square, fold over the edges and bake a golden brown. The mixture in the tart should be creamy. If too much of the milk is absorbed by the macaroni increase the quantity. As the cheese becomes thoroughly melted in cooking more moisture is added.
