CAULIFLOWER DRESSING
Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce
To the Basic White Dressing add 1 cupful of cooked cauliflower buds, 1 teaspoonful of lemon juice and just before serving 1 tablespoonful of butter. Serve with reheated chicken, turkey or fish.
CELERY DRESSING
Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce
Use 1 cupful of the water in which celery has been cooked as the stock in making the Basic White Dressing. Add to it 1 cupful of chopped celery and serve with boiled fish or reheated chicken or turkey.
CHEESE DRESSING
Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce
To 1 cupful of the Basic White Dressing, made with the water in which rice was cooked, add 1/2 of a cupful of grated cheese and 2 extra teaspoonfuls of Lea & Perrins' Sauce just after removing from the fire. Serve with macaroni, spaghetti, rice, hominy, cauliflower, asparagus or potatoes.
OYSTER DRESSING
Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce
Heat 12 oysters until their edges begin to curl. Drain off the liquor and use it in making the Basic White Dressing. If there is not enough oyster liquor to make one cupful, add white vegetable or cereal stock to it. Make the White Dressing as usual and when ready to serve add the oysters finely chopped. Serve with baked or boiled fish, or fish croquettes or roasted fowl. This also makes a delicious sauce to pour over stewed celery or panned mushrooms.
