Ingredients: Half a pound of flour.

Five ounces of butter or vegetable butter (or both mixed together). Two yolks of eggs. Two tablespoonfuls of water. Juice of one lemon. A pinch of salt.

Method: Rub the butter into the flour with the tips of the fingers • on the pastry-board. Make a " bay," put in the eggs and water, and stir all together lightly. Roll out the pastry until a quarter of an inch thick, and line the patty-pans (having first greased them with vegetable butter). Fill them with a good mincemeat, substituting vegetable butter and pine kernels for suet; cover with a thin layer of pastry, and bake for half an hour. Dust the mince-pies when baked with castor sugar, and serve hot.

baked chestnuts (at Dessert) Cut the tips off some English chestnuts, place them on an oiled tray, and bake for fifteen to twenty minutes in a very hot oven. Slow cooking spoils this delicacy. Serve hot on a napkin immediately.

"Proteid food" is a nourishing basis, that takes the place of meat.

"Agar Agar " is a seaweed gelatine that takes the place of animal gelatine.

"Mar mite" is a vegetable extract that takes the place of meat extracts and gravies. It colours and flavours meatless gravies and sauces, and makes them taste almost exactly the same as ordinary meat gravies. These substitutes can be bought at any Health Food Stores or at most ordinary stores.
