The following is an original recipe for cheese without rennet given me by Mrs Wallace, a well-known pioneer in Food Reform.
Put the strained juice of 3 lemons into a quart of boiling milk, then remove immediately and set aside to cool. Place a wet cheese-cloth in a hair sieve and place in the contents of the saucepan. Let drain, shape by gathering the cloth together, compress and leave for a little. Garnish with parsley.
Eaten with raw tomatoes and oatcakes it is delicious. The whey, if sweetened to taste, forms to those who like it a pleasant, cooling, and health-giving beverage.
Manhu Wheat Yorks.h.i.+re Pudding.
Three tablespoonfuls Manhu Wheat, 2 eggs, a little over half a pint of milk; salt to taste; 1 oz. b.u.t.ter.
Put the wheat in a basin, mix with milk until it forms a nice batter; add a little salt. Beat up the eggs very lightly, and add to the batter. Put the b.u.t.ter in a small baking tin in the oven, and, when hot, pour in the batter.
Bake about 20 minutes in a sharp oven.
Breakfast Savoury.
Allow 1 egg, 1 small tomato, 1/4 oz. b.u.t.ter or vegetable b.u.t.ter, to each person. Scald, peel, and slice tomatoes, and fry till quite cooked in the b.u.t.ter. Add seasoning to taste--salt, pepper, little grated onion, pinch herbs, a little Vegetable Extract or Ketchup--any or all of these--and the eggs, which may either be dropped in or slightly beaten up. Scramble till set, and serve heaped up on hot b.u.t.tered toast. A pleasing variety of flavour is produced by subst.i.tuting walnut b.u.t.ter for the other. The toast might also be spread with a very little "Marmite."

Nut Soup.
One pint boiling water, 3 tablespoons grated walnut or walnut meat preparation, some onions sliced, spoonful gravy essence, 1/2 lb. sliced tomatoes, a little "Nutter."

One lb. split green peas, 1/2 lb. onions, 1/2 lb. carrots, 2 quarts boiling water; scald peas with hot water, and put on with the 2 quarts (8 breakfast cupfuls) boiling water, and the onions chopped small.
