4 eggs, 1 oz. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 1/4 lb. of fresh tomatoes or a teacupful of tinned tomato, 1 oz. of butter, 1 clove of garlic or 2 shalots, pepper and salt to taste.  Pulp the tomatoes through a sieve.  Rub the garlic round a small saucepan, and melt the butter, in it; or chop up very finely the shalots, and mix them with the butter.  When the butter is hot, stir in the wheatmeal, then the tomato pulp, and stir until the mixture is thickened and comes away from the sides of the pan, then proceed as before, stirring in one yolk after the other; season with pepper and salt, whip up the whites of the eggs, stir them with the other ingredients, pour into a buttered souffle pan, and bake 15 minutes.

WATER EGGS.

4 eggs, 1-1/2 oz. of sugar, the rind and juice of 1/2 a lemon.  Boil the sugar and lemon rind and juice in 1/2 pint of water for 15 minutes.  Beat the eggs well, and add to them the sweetened water.  Strain the mixture through a sieve into the dish in which it is to be served, place it in a larger dish with boiling water in a moderately hot oven, and bake until set.  Serve hot or cold.

SALADS

These wholesome dishes are not used sufficiently by English people, for very few know the value of them.  All may use these foods with benefit, and two dinners each week of them with Allinson wholemeal bread will prevent many a serious illness.  They are natural food in a plain state, and supply the system with vegetable salts and acids in the best form.  In winter, salads may be made with endive, mustard and cress, watercress, round lettuces, celery, or celery root, or even finely cut raw red or white cabbage; pepper, salt, oil, and vinegar are added as above.  As a second course, milk or bread pudding.  Salads are invaluable in cases of gout, rheumatism, gallstones, stone in the kidney or bladder, and in a gravelly condition of the water and impure condition of the system.

ARTICHOKE SALAD.

Boil potatoes and artichokes separately, cut into slices; mix, add pepper, salt, oil, and vinegar; eat with Allinson wholemeal bread.

CAULIFLOWER SALAD.

A medium-sized boiled cauliflower, 3 boiled potatoes, juice of 1/2 a lemon, 2 or 3 tablespoonfuls of oil.  Cut up finely the cauliflower and potatoes when cold, mix well with the dressing, and pepper and salt to taste.  A little mayonnaise is an improvement, but makes it rich.

CHEESE SALAD.

Put some finely shredded lettuce in a glass dish, and over this put some young sliced onions, some mustard and cress, a layer of sliced tomatoes, and two hard-boiled eggs, also sliced.  Add salt and pepper, and then over all put a nice layer of grated cheese.  Serve with a dressing composed of equal parts of cream, salad oil, and vinegar, into which had been smoothly mixed a little mustard.
