DAIRY FOODS SERVICES Dairy Foods Services is a section set up by the Australian Dairy Produce Board to bring together all the facts, known about foods made from milk. By applying this information to the practical problems of baking and meal preparation, the staff of Dairy Foods

Recipes are tested in both gas and elec­ tric stoves and may require baking sev­ eral times before the desired result is achieved. All recipes are judged for ease of preparation, attractive appear­ ance, nutrition, flavour and general acceptability as well as cost and portion yield. A n important factor in creating recipes in the Dairy Foods Services kitchen is the analysis of nutritional value. Every recipe tested and judged satisfactory is thoroughly analysed so that protein, mineral, vitamin and calorie content of every dish is known and recorded. This information highlights the value of dairy foods in balancing the nutritional needs of people of all ages and facilitates plan­ ning either special diets or balanced family needs.

Services, working in a kitchen designed to maintain average home conditions, create easily made, attractive and nutri­ tious recipes for the housewives of Aus­ tralia. The Director of Dairy Foods Services says: "Our aim is to keep a close-to-the-home realism in recipe making so that we may be of greatest practical assistance to the Australian housewife".

The Director says of Dairy Foods Ser­ vices: " W e are here to help the Aus­ tralian housewife with her problems in family feeding. If you need practical assistance with special recipes or family meal planning; if you would like infor­ mation on the uses and nutritive value of dairy foods, please write to us. W e hope the few utility recipes given here will be of interest, we are con­ fident that they will prove what good cooks the world over know — nothing puts so much value, flavour and versa­ tility into meal planning as Nature's own foods — milk, butter and cheese".
