Onions

For stewing use small or medium sized onions. Boil them in salt water, drain off the water and serve with butter and lemon, or prepare a butter or cream sauce. They are best eaten for breakfast or dinner with some salted meat, and wheat or rye bread.

Raw Onions

People who like onions and find they disagree on account of the strong acids, should grate them and mix thoroughly with sauces, or French or mayonnaise dressing.

Fried Onions

Chop the onions very fine in a wooden bowl. Then heat some butter and oil and fry them until light brown and pour over steak or mix with potatoes.

Parsley

Chop enough to last for several days. Melt some butter and add the parsley, and let boil up once. When cold put on ice. This saves time, though it is best to prepare the parsley fresh for each meal.

Mushrooms

Wash and dry them, then roll in flour and fry in fat until brown. Add some soup stock and steep until done. Cover well. If the stock is too thin, add a little browned flour; season and serve on toast.

Sprouts

Remove the outside leaves and put to boil in a little salt water. When tender, drain and season with butter and lemon. The yolk of an egg may be added. A butter or egg sauce is also good.

Cooked Corn

Remove the leaves and put in cold salt water for 30 minutes. Then boil for 20 minutes. Corn is best when eaten raw. It is very nutritious and will afford a perfect meal during the summer with tomato salad and lettuce.

Canned Corn

Thicken the corn with flour and water. Add a small amount of hot cream and season with salt and pepper or a few spoonfuls of tomato juice. If no cream is desired, drain off the liquid and thicken like butter sauce. Canned corn, being a rich and soft food, should not be mixed with many other foods at the same meal. It is more suitable for the morning or noon meal than for supper.

Kohlrabi

Peel, slice thin, and stew in a very little water. When nearly done, add some hot soup. Prepare with a butter sauce. Chop fine some green leaves of the plant previously boiled and add. Serve with boiled beef.
