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.

Potato and Onion Pie No. 1

1 pound of potatoes 1 pound of onions 1 ounce butter 1 teacup of milk Pepper and salt Short paste Slice the onions and potatoes, and put them into cold water. Bring them to boiling point, and boil quickly for three minutes. Put them into a pie dish, and add the butter and the milk, which must be boiling, and season well with pepper and salt. Cover the dish with a stout crust, and bake in a moderate oven for an hour and a half. No time must be lost in covering the pie with the crust, and putting it into the oven, as the potatoes must not be allowed to cool or the flavor will be spoiled.
