THE QUESTION BOX
Mrs. T. E. asksk: "Do you get the
best nutritive value by cooking spin-
ach and adding it to the cream sauce
for soup, or using raw spinach,?"
Answer: Since spinach cooks quick-
ly and because more flavor is obtain-
ed by using minced zaw 'spinach, cook
in milk for three minutes and thick-
en in double beiler for 15 minutest
This will give the best nutritive Va-
Lue, but do hesitate to use left -over
spinach vegetable in a cream sauce
for soup.

gar." •

Vegetable Greens
Thinning time in the garden brings
a culinary treat in the form of young
and tender greens. Beet and turnip
tops—spinach and chard are delicious
at this stage, either crisp, raw and
shredded or cooked.,
-To bring .out the delicate flavour
of gi•eerts, careful cooking preceded
by thorough washing is needed. In
most cases the water that clings to
the leaves' is all that is necessary for
cooking. But where beet greens are
cooked with the 'tiny beets attached,
just enough water should be added to
prevent sn'Orching. Cover closely and
cook quickly until just tender; drain
thoroughly and serve at once. In ad-
dition to salt and pepper—a little
bacon fat or -crisp diced bacon may
be added. Some people prefer a'few
drops of Vinegar or a little French
dressing -.--while others again, favour
cream sauce with perhaps, a 'dash of
hutmeg.
If the first Pickings from the gar-
den do not yield sufficient greens to
serve as a .vegetable, the Consumer
,Section of the Dominion DepartMent
of Agriculture suggest using them in
a souffle or cream
