"The Dairy Cook Book"

[donna]

"The Dairy Cook Book" edited by Ruth Berolzheimer and published by the Culinary Arts Institute in 1941 is full of great recipes using milk and other dairy products. This book was one of my finds at an antique mall.

As the book states "milk is the original and most nearly complete single food known, an essential part of the modern diet". It is ideal for growth for children but also important for adult. One should not just limit milk to a beverage but use it in preparing all types of recipes from soups and bisques to salad dressings and puddings and sauces.

Several recipes from this book include Cheese Soup and Golden Egg Sauce.

Cheese Soup

4 cups milk
1 tablespoon minced onion
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons grated aged cheese
2 teaspoons chopped parsley

Scald milk and onion together. Melt butter, blend in flour and salt, add milk gradually, stirring constantly, and cook 5 minutes. Pour into bouillon cups, add cheese and parsley and serve immediately. Serves 4.

Golden Egg Sauce

6 hard cooked eggs, diced
1 cup cream
1 tablespoon butter
salt
paprika
4 tablespoons minced parsley

Place eggs, cream, butter, salt and paprika in top of a double boiler and cook until heated through. Add parsley. Serve with vegetables or fish. Makes 1 1/2 cups of sauce.

Try these recipes for something new from 1941.

That golden egg sauce is a wee bit strange.how would hard cooked eggs liquefy in a double boiler.a cup of cream does not seem like a lot of liquid to make a sauce and what would you use this on as it will be chunky.

I think it be good over baked fish or even broccoli or asparagus.

Amazing how much our idea of milk has changed since 1941. Most folks I know try avoid it except in the 2% or non-fat varieties. Me, I love cream and whole milk only, especially when cooking. Everything tastes better, in my opinion.

Thanks Donna for sharing from the Dairy Cook Book, hope to see some more recipes from it in the future. I may have to try that cheese soup with nice crusty French bread one of these days!

Since I am low on vitamin D I have to drink milk everyday plus take a vitamin D pill once a week. So whole milk and cream is something the doctor wants me to have. I love cream in my coffee.
