GENERAL DIRECTIONS

All Kinds of Cold Beverages are improved by being chilled - either by leaving them in the refrigerator for a short time or by serving them with ice blocks.


Left-overs Can Be Used Attractively

The General Electric Refrigerator not only keeps food from spoiling, but makes it possible to use left-overs attractively. Odds and ends of meat, fish, fruit and vegetables may be combined in a jellied or frozen salad (see No. 12, Frozen Salads, page 65, or No. 24). Fruits, and fruit juices, jellies, jam and marmalade can be combined with whipped cream to make luscious desserts (see Fruit Creams, page 75). Brown bread crumbs and cake crumbs can be added to a Mousse-No. 38. Odds and ends of meat, fish or vegetables can be combined to make delicious soups that can be cleared and jellied (Jellied Soups and Aspic Jelly, page 57, and No. 9.)

Number Served by the Recipes

Most recipes in this book make one and one-half pints when frozen and serve four to eight people.

To Serve More Than Four to Eight People

It is very easy to double any recipe in this book to make enough for eight to sixteen people. Two quarts of mixture are required to fill the large pan, therefore some recipes must be increased three times. When the large pan is filled, there is sufficient frozen dessert to serve twelve to sixteen people.
