General Consideration for Low-Fat Menus:

The menus presented here include well balanced meals of high protein and high nutritional quality, with emphasis on very low-fat and low-cholesterol content. Although cholesterol is contained in all animal and vegetable fats, glandular organs such as brains, liver, kidney, sweetbreads, and giblets are especially high in cholesterol. In the case of liver, however, there are additional protective nutrients called phospholipids, that help overcome it’s cholesterol content, and therefore make liver a valuable source of nourishment. Egg yolks and all foods with egg yolks are also high in cholesterol and are to be avoided as are egg noodles, pancake and waffle mixes, cake mixes with eggs, mayonnaise-type salad dressings, etc.

Some simple suggestions foods are as follows:

Soups:Clear consommés may be used, and stock from vegetables and meat bones. Thoroughly chill and remove all fat before using.

Cream soups made from non-fat milk, with the addition of flour (2 teaspoonsful to 1 cup), thoroughly cooked until thick, then blended with various vegetables or vegetable purees, are excellent. To replace crackers you may use Melba toast, toast cubes, Ry-Krisp, or bread stock.

Meats:Meats should be served with all fat removed. In the preparation, too, remove all noticeable fat before cooking.

In some of the methods commonly used to prepare meat with a low-fat content are roasting, broiling, pan broiling, braising, and cooking with liquids.

For roasting 300-325 degrees is recommended. The length of cooking time depends upon quantity and type of meat. Re­move all fat from drippings.

When broiling steaks, chops or patties, place meat 3—5 inches from flame. Remove all fat before serving. In pan broiling, remove all external fat and place meat in cold pan on low fire without covering. Cook until meat is brown on both sides. Use "Pan-tastic" or Pan-Free" to keep meat from adhering to pan.

Stewing entails adding liquids, seasonings, and vegetables to meat, but in our diets it is best to remove all fats from meats before cooking. To remove fat more thoroughly, chill stew and remove all hard fat film on the surface.  Reheat and serve.

Vegetables: Wash, dry, chill until ready to cook. Cook in the smallest amount of water and the shortest time to preserve vitamins and color. Add paprika or chopped parsley to enhance eye appeal.

All vegetable salads may be used, with dietetic dressings of no fat value.  Two basic types are as follows:

Mayonnaise Type: 1 cup Non-fat milk, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, cook over low heat until thick, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard and cool, add 2 tablespoons vinegar, egg coloring, beat until smooth. Egg whites beaten may be folded into the mixture.

French Dressing Style: Add the following to handy bottle and shake thoroughly until blended. 3-4 tablespoons wine or taragon vinegar, juice of crushed garlic, seasoned salt, dash pepper, 1 cup tomato puree, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2-3 tablespoons catsup, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard, tabasco and Wor­cestershire sauce if desired.

Desserts: All fruit desserts may be used: gelatin dishes without any added cream; fruit whips using beaten eggs; angel food cakes, sherbets and ices.

(To all dishes included in the menus on the following pages, add no butter, margarine, cream, or regular salad dressings.)

In these menus, skimmed milk powder may be added to fresh skimmed milk.

Recipes

* Creamed Eggwhites:
Make cream sauce of 1/2 cup milk; 1 teaspoon flour, 1 tablespoon peanut oil. Stir constantly until slightly thickened. Add cut-up, hard-cooked eggwhites. Serve over toast.

** Anglecake Cupcake:
1/4 cup sifted cake flour; 3/4 cup gran sugar; 3/4 cup egg whites (4); 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar; 1/4 teaspoon vanilla; dash salt. Whip egg whites with cream of tartar; add vanilla. Sift sugar and flour together and fold into egg whites one at a time. Bake 325° for 1 hr. in ungreased muffin tins. Remove from pan while warm. (Angel cake mix may be substituted if desired.)


Please use these low-fat recipes here as alternates or wherever it seems best to you.

Cracker Torte
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
8 finely crushed saltine crackers
1 oz. walnut meats, finely chopped 1/2teaspoon vanilla extract
1 10 oz. package frozen raspberries.
Sprinkle cream of tartar over egg whites in a bowl. Beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until meringue is very stiff. Fold in cracker crumbs, nuts and vanilla. Pour into a greased 11/2 quart casserole; bake at 300 deg. one hour or until lightly browned and firm on top. Cool in pan.
Meanwhile defrost raspberries. Invert torte onto serving plate or serve from cas­serole, topped with berries. Makes six servings.   (Calories per serving 200.)

Of course plain meringues may be made without the nuts and crackers, or bought from a good pastry shop. Almost any fruit or sherbet is good as a filling.
Particularly delicious is pineapple sherbet served with mint sauce.

Strawberry Delight:
Use individual slices of Angel Food, preferably slightly stale. Cover thinly with Royal Vanilla Pudding (made with skim milk). Decorate generously with fresh or frozen strawberries. Pour over heated currant jelly as a glaze and chill. (Ap­proximately 175 calories.)

WHEN THERE ARE GUESTS FOR DINNER
(Low-fat recipes)
Non-fat pie crust may be made from Corn Flakes. 13/4 cup Corn Flakes rolled coarse, 6 tablespoons honey and 3 tablespoons skim milk. Fill with vanilla pudding or fruit. (150 calories per serving.)

Or pie crust can be made from toasted Angel Food Cake.

Angel Food Cake may be used to make a kind of English Trifle, by substituting Royal Vanilla pie filling for the high-fat custard. Alternate a layer of Angel Food Cake with a layer of sherry flavored Vanilla pie filling and Raspberry Jam or cooked dried apricot jam, until the bowl is filled. (Approximately 150 calories per serving.)
