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.

Pumpkin Pie

1 cup baked pumpkin 2 cups milk 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon molasses To prepare the pumpkin, cut in halves. Remove the seeds, and place in the oven to bake until tender. Scrape out the cooked pumpkin, avoiding the skin formed by baking. Mash, and add the sugar, molasses, seasonings and milk. Line the pie-tin with any preferred pastry. Partially bake the crust, and turn into it the pumpkin mixture. Place in a moderate oven, and bake until set. Steamed or canned pumpkin may be used, but should be placed in the oven and baked until quite dry.
