How To Eat Well In

The Islands

If there were ever a time when the only culinary exped ient was to open a can, that era has passed. Thanks to re frigeration and airfreighting it is now just as easy to eat well in the Islands as it is in those places that used to he called Civilisation.

But using the food of the country is still the cheapest— and often the most pleasant— idea and those beginners who want to know what best to do with local fruit, vegetables and fish would do well to invest a modest 7/6 (Fijian) in a neat little cook-book recently issued by the Girl Guides Assn, of Fiji.

It is called South Sea Island Recipes.

Pretty well everything in the eating line—from cocktails and soups to puddings and pies— is covered. Particular attention is given to cooking in 1010 (or, coconut cream).
