NUT COOKERY.
For nut-cookery, a nut mill or food chopper of some
kind is necessary. A tiny food chopper, which can
be regulated to chop finely or coarsely as required,
may be bought for 3s. at most food-reform stores. It
also has an attachment which macerates the nuts so
as to produce "nut butter." The larger size at 5s. is
the more convenient for ordinary use. If only one
machine can be afforded, the food chopper should
be the one chosen, as it can also be used for
vegetables, breadcrumbs, etc. The nut-mill proper
flakes the nuts, it will not macerate them, and is
useful for nuts only.
But flaked nuts are a welcome and pretty addition
to fruit salads, stewed fruits, etc.
If the nuts to be milled or ground clog the machine,
put them in a warm oven until they just begin to
change colour. Then let them cool, and they will be
found crisp and easy to work. But avoid doing this if
possible, as it dries up the valuable nut oil.
