THE EMPIRE’S FOOD.

DEMONSTBATIONS at WEMBLEY. FOSTERING IMPERIAL TRADE. One of the things demonstrated by the committee which is responsible for the women’s section arranging hospitality for the Imperial representatives and visitors at the Empire Exhibition will be the way to unchill meat. The proper handling of dried fruits will be most, instructive also, -for they can be delicious if treated in the right way. Dried bananas, for instance, which look like lumps of leather, after soaking a certain time make up into delightful dishes, foi which there are several recipes. Too little is also known of the cooking of maize, which is as cheap as it can be tasty. Some of the demonstrations will be on tspecial subjects, such as hot-plate dinner, the various uses of the gas griller, and cakes for children. In addition, printed recipes will be available, so that those who attend the demonstration may take away a proper record from which to cook at home. The demonstrations will have a further Imperial value, for each housewife will be presented with a list of the wholesale firms dealing in the commodities used. This she can give to the manager of her local storeys, so that he may know exactly where to get the foodstuffs his customer requires, and in this way the knowledge of the food resources of the Empire will be spread, while at the same time Imperial trade will be fostered.
