Chef's Hints: Do you know how and when to use herbs? It's a fascinating study. It's that skillful touch that makes any good dish just that much better. Herbs, whether the fresh leaves from the garden or the dried are not like strong condiments or spices. They are an added bit of leafage from some aromatic wholesome plant or a blend of several that gives a subtle flavor, well-chosen, for that particular type of food.
In gift departments or fancy grocery stores certain irresistible little baskets or jars filled to the brim with dried herbs may be found together with a copy of receipts in herb cookery tucked in. Treat yourself with one of these herb collections and enjoy using them. "Herbs for Flavoring and for Fragrance" by Helen M. Fox; "Herbs, How to Grow Them and How to Use Them," by Helen Webster, are useful books on the subject and any library will yield many more on the interesting subject. Once you've learned to use savory herbs for stews and sauces, not to mention an omelette aux fines herbes you'll be an addict for herb cooking.
Tomato preserve is delicious with meats and there is no better time to make it than now. Scald tomatoes to remove skins, and to each pound of tomatoes add 3/4 cup water and 3/4 pound sugar, one-fourth thinly sliced lemon and one piece of stick cinnamon or gingerroot. Make syrup of water and sugar, add tomatoes and other ingredients and boil until tomatoes are clear and syrup thick. Remove scum and pour into hot sterilized jars and seal.
Make it a policy to save all of your peach pits, extracting the kernel from the center, grinding up and store away for almond flavoring in cakes, puddings or waffles. Economical and more delicious than fresh almond.
Cream cheese will substitute for whipped cream, if a small amount of sugar and milk are added to a package and whipped with rotary egg beater. Add any desired flavoring.
