Author's Salad Dressing
H. V. Morton, world-famous novelist, mixes his own salad dressing. Elsie K. Morton, in a talk on "Highlights in a World Tour," describing an afternoon spent with Mr. and Mrs. Morton, says: "One of the most delightfully intimate memories of my visit is that of Mr. Morton busily mixing the salad dressing at the sideboard, with that rapt intentness of purpose that an Englishman always brings to bear upon this highly technical, not to say, ticklish, job! A spoonful of some very special vinegar — I’m ashamed to say I’ve forgotten what kind it was-a few drops of the right kind of oil, a dash of this, the merest suspicion of that, and there you were! It was certainly a triumph. And if you doubt Mr. Morton’s skill as a cook I would remind you of the recipe for Scotch broth, which he gives in his delightful "In Search of Scotland."
