Meals of many courses are neither practical nor popular with the modern hostess. For a company luncheon or supper it is not necessary to serve more than a hot dish, a salad, a biscuit or sandwich, a dessert and a beverage. A first course and a relish may be provided if desired.
The following menus were arranged especially as Sunday night suppers, but they are equally suitable for midday luncheons or high teas. Many of the dishes will be found desirable for afternoon teas or evening spreads, and for use in tea and lunch rooms, and for automobile picnics.
Preparations for Sunday night suppers should be made on Saturday as far as possible. For a luncheon it is a help to have some things done the day before. For picnics and parties much must be done in advance. As an aid to the hostess we have listed after each menu what these preliminary preparations may be.
Many of the hot dishes may be prepared in a chafing dish or on an electric grill. For these, much of the measuring may be done in advance, the ingredients being put in small dishes on a tray. Coffee and tea may be made at the table with electric appliances.
Sandwiches may be made and wrapped first in dry cheesecloth, then in damp cheesecloth, and placed in a covered crock some hours before a meal. The hot biscuits may be replaced by rolls or bread and butter if desired.
For picnics the beverages and hot dishes may be prepared at home and carried in thermos food jars. The cold dishes may be packed in a small portable refrigerator. The biscuits, sandwiches, cakes, and cookies should be carefully wrapped in wax paper and packed in boxes. Ice creams may be taken in the freezer. Hot sandwiches and bacon may be cooked over the coals or on a portable oil or alcohol stove. In some menus it may be desirable to omit or modify a few of the dishes, if food is to be carried several miles.
Supplies for use on Sunday evening should, of course, be purchased on Saturday. To prevent any mistakes in ordering we have listed under each menu the foodstuffs that will be required. Supplies that are usually kept on hand are not listed, as
Baking powder
Cayenne
Cornstarch
Bread flour
Pastry flour
Molasses
Mustard
Paprika
Pepper
Rock salt
Table salt
Granulated sugar
Soda
Spices, whole and ground
Table sauce
Vanilla
Vinegar
Some things are listed in the market orders that many people always have on hand. This is for the benefit of those who do not prepare all their meals and have little space for seldom used supplies. As far as feasible the amounts of material in the market orders are such as could be purchased. They may differ somewhat from the amounts called for in the recipes, thus leaving some foodstuff on hand. In many cases it may be more economical to purchase in larger quantities than those given. In some cases smaller amounts are called for than can be purchased, as one-half can, or one-fourth cup, in case supplies on hand are adequate without purchasing more than required. Butter only is given in the market orders. In cooking, margarine, lard, and other shortenings may be used instead, if preferred.
In all recipes measurements are made level. Measuring cups, divided into thirds and quarters, are used, and tea and table measuring spoons. Cups of dry material are filled to overflowing by putting the material into the cup with a tablespoon, and are then leveled off with a knife. Tea and tablespoons are filled heaping with dry material, and then leveled off with a knife. Flour should be sifted once before measuring.
The recipes are planned to serve eight persons. Most of them may be divided for a smaller party.
The average cost of the menus is fifty cents per person. Some of the dishes may be made less expensive and rich by substituting milk for cream, and by other substitutions and omissions that will suggest themselves to the resourceful hostess. Many types of dishes are given. Many variations are possible.
In some menus a choice of dishes is suggested. A few recipes are given that are not called for in the menus. These are usually to show how to utilize in a different way something for which a recipe is given or to use in another meal some foodstuff left from a recipe.
These recipes and menus have all been tested at Miss Farmer's School of Cookery. The author wishes to express here her appreciation of the painstaking work of all the members of the staff of the school who have assisted in making this little book possible.
Fruit cup ready to chill
Ham prepared for the sandwiches
Tomatoes peeled and placed in ice box
Salad dressing made
Fig marguerites made
Candied mint leaves prepared
Ice cream ready to freeze
Jelly made
1 pound cooked ham
1 cream cheese (Roquefort flavor if desired)
1 quart milk
1 pint cream
½ pound butter
6 eggs
½ pound white grapes
3 or 4 oranges
2 lemons
1 pound (4 small) tomatoes
1 green pepper
1 head lettuce
1 bunch mint
½ can sliced pineapple
8 maraschino cherries
2 tablespoons mayonnaise dressing
½ pint raspberry or strawberry syrup
¼ pound figs
2 ounces walnut meats
1 ounce tea
⅛ pound cocoa
1 loaf sandwich bread
½ pint grape or currant jelly or juice
Oil of spearmint
1 package small round crackers
1 ounce marshmallow cream
1 cup salad oil
Loaf sugar
Remove skin and seeds from
½ pound white grapes. If grapes are firm, boiling water may be
poured over them and allowed to stand 1 minute, when skins will come
off easily.
Pare
2 oranges, removing white part with the skin, and remove sections
free from membrane.
Cut
4 slices canned pineapple in dice. Mix the fruit with
⅓ cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup orange juice
½ cup syrup from canned pineapple, and
Few grains salt.
Put into ice cream freezer, surround with ice and salt, and stir occasionally until juice begins to freeze. Serve in cocktail glasses, garnishing each glass with a
Maraschino cherry.
Put
1 pound cooked ham through food chopper. Add
4 tablespoons creamed butter,
1 teaspoon mustard and
1 teaspoon paprika, and mix well.
Cut
Bread in sixteen ¼-inch slices, spread eight slices bread with
the ham mixture, cover with remaining bread and press slices firmly
together. Cut each sandwich in three strips.
Beat
2 eggs slightly and add
2 cups milk. Dip sandwiches, one at a time, in this mixture, and sauté
in butter, cooking on one side until browned, and then turning and
browning the other side. Serve very hot.
Other meat, or marmalade or jam may be used in sandwiches in place of ham.
Wash and pick over
Fruit. Crush in kettle one layer at a time and boil, stirring
frequently, until juice is extracted from pulp. Let drip through
double piece of cheesecloth, rinsed in cold water, over night or
till juice no longer drips. Do not squeeze.
To
1 tablespoon juice add
1 tablespoon alcohol; stir and let stand 10 minutes.
If ⅔ of the mixture is cloudy use
⅔ cup sugar to each cup juice. If all is cloudy use equal parts
sugar and juice. (This is called the Pectin Test.) Be sure that juice
mixed with alcohol is discarded immediately. Measure remaining juice
into kettle, bring to boiling point, add required amount of sugar and
cook to 220 degrees F. or until mixture will show two distinct, firm
drops when dripped from side of spoon, or when small amount will
become firm when dropped on very cold saucer. Then skim and pour into
sterilized glasses.
Return fruit pulp to kettle, add barely enough cold water to cover it, bring slowly to boiling point, stirring to prevent burning on; cook 5 minutes, drain and finish as for first extraction, boiling 5 minutes before adding the sugar.
Proceed as for second extraction. Oftentimes the juice from second and third extractions may be combined before being made up into jelly. By making three extractions the amount of jelly obtainable from a given amount of fruit may be almost doubled.
Cut
4 tomatoes in halves in such a way that they come apart in points.
Arrange each half in a nest of
Lettuce leaves. In the center of tomato pile
Cream cheese forced through a coarse strainer. In center of cheese
put a
Few bits of green pepper finely chopped. Serve with cheese dressing.

1 ½ tablespoons vinegar. Keep in cool place till ready to serve.
Cream cheese with Roquefort flavor is desirable in both the above recipes, but the usual cottage or cream cheese may be used if preferred.
Mix very thoroughly
½ cup dry powdered cocoa
Few grains salt
1 cup sugar and
1 tablespoon cornstarch.
Add slowly
2 cups milk, scalded, and cook over boiling water 20 minutes,
stirring until thickened and occasionally afterward.
Pour over
2 eggs well beaten, chill, and add
2 cups cream beaten stiff
1 teaspoon vanilla and
1 cup syrup drained from canned raspberries or strawberries, and freeze.
If frozen in a vacuum freezer, put mixture in center can of freezer; cover, invert freezer, and fill outer compartment with finely crushed ice mixed with half the amount of rock salt. Open the freezer occasionally, scrape cream from sides and mix well, using a long-bladed knife. If frozen in an ordinary freezer, it is not necessary to beat the cream. Put mixture in can of ice cream freezer, surround with three parts ice and one part salt.
Let mixture stand 5 minutes, then turn crank slowly until mixture is stiff. When frozen drain off ice water and repack, using four parts ice and one part salt.
Put in top of double boiler
⅞ cup sugar and
3 tablespoons water.
Stir until sugar is dissolved as much as possible. There will still be small sugar crystals remaining. Wash sugar crystals from inside of double boiler with pastry brush dipped in cold water.
Add
1 egg white, unbeaten. Place over hot water and cook, beating constantly
with egg beater for 7 to 12 minutes or until mixture will hold its shape.
Add
1 tablespoon marshmallow cream and
¼ teaspoon vanilla, and fold over and over until again stiff
enough to hold its shape.
Add
⅓cup (3) figs cut in small pieces and
⅓cup nut meats cut in small pieces.
Pile on
Small round crackers and bake at 375 degrees F. for 10 minutes or until
delicately brown. This rule will cover 3 dozen small crackers.
Should frosting be too soft to hold its shape after adding marshmallow cream, it may be again placed over hot water, and folded gently over and over, until it becomes slightly granular around the edges. Remove from hot water, and continue folding over gently until of the desired stiffness.
Use above mixture with or without figs and nuts as a cake filling or frosting. It need not be baked.
Wipe
Fresh mint leaves, remove from stems and rub each leaf gently with
the finger dipped in
Egg white slightly beaten.
Mix
3 tablespoons granulated sugar with
3 drops oil of spearmint, and sift over each side of the mint leaves.
Lay close together on a cake rack covered with wax paper and leave in a warm but not a hot place until crisp and dry.
Serve in

1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit http://pglaf.org
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
new filenames and etext numbers.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
http://www.gutenberg.net
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to
download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
download by the etext year.
http://www.gutenberg.net/etext06
(Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part
of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is
identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single
digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For
example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
http://www.gutenberg.net/1/0/2/3/10234
or filename 24689 would be found at:
http://www.gutenberg.net/2/4/6/8/24689
