Cooking Peas

Dear Aunt Daisy, I was listening to you talking about cooking peas with boiling water. I was sad to hear you say water. For the last 25 years I have never cooked peas any other way than by putting a good knob of butter into a saucepan, washing the peas, straining, and popping them in with the butter, adding 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 good teaspoon of salt. Shake the pot often, and cook slowly for a good half hour, Once cooked this way (Continued on next page)

(Continued from previous page) you will never eat boiled peas again."A Listener" (Papanui). I shall certainly try steaming the peas in this way, and so, I am sure, will hundreds of other "Listener" readers. We are now beginning to realise how important diet is, and how good food can have its food value destroyed by wrong methods of cooking. Here is another letter on the subject. Dear Aunt Daisy, I heard you read a letter from a lady regarding cooking peas. Well, Aunt Daisy, I would like to endorse what she says. I have been married 12 years, and have never cooked peas any other way, except that I adda little mint, and also a little water if cooking a big pot full, as it saves the butter, and we all try to be economical these days. I might add that my mother and grandmother also used this method which is, I believe,

a Danish way of cooking peas.-
