Excerpt from Cookbook Since a third of the average family income goes for food, that's a logical front on which to combat the high cost of living. But it's ridiculous even to consider reducing or unbalancing the diet by skimping or cutting it, especially the vitamins and calories. It should, instead, be expanded to include everything our bodies need all the way from the high chair to the coffin. And this can be done without enlarging the food budget, which in most cases can't take it anyway. For true cooking economy doesn't mean being tight or following the fallacious old Scotch maxim Cook less and the family will eat less, but in learning the fullest use of all available foods and methods of getting the most out of them. Thrifty Europeans, who, as a rule, live better than we do on less, claim that we throw away more than we eat, and that comes too close to the truth to be any comfort to our intelligence. But even if we won't stop wasting and listening to the siren call of radio experts who sell us foodless food, blown up bran at half a dollar a pound and readymixed gingerbread that costs more to make than the finished cake would be at an honest baker's, we certainly can stretch the food dollar by countless culinary tricks, all of which are appetizing, healthful and interesting. For instance, few cooks know the advantage of snow as an ingredient, yet a cup of freshly fallen snow actually takes the place of two eggs in making a pudding light and toothsome. Like wise, snow saves on milk in mixing Snow Waffles and Pancakes which have a finer texture because of the chemicals released in melting some say it's the ammonia.
