MEET THE AUTHORS

Nevada Harward, Madeline Westover, Karine Eliason

When you have some of the answers to a problem shared by millions of people—especially the working woman or busy mom—you want to share your knowledge. This is what Karine Eliason, Nevada Harward and Madeline Westover have been doing since their first book, Make-A-Mix Cookery, was published in 1978.

This is their sixth book. Their books have sold over two-million copies. The “mix” ladies have added new mixes, revised many old ones, and lowered fat and cholesterol in many recipes.

The authors have long praised the joys of making and using mixes as they lectured extensively throughout the United States, appearing on TV and demonstrating before large groups. Busy mothers and working women have said that the mix books have been a lifesaver in the kitchen.

All three authors are active volunteers. With their busy schedules and large families (they have 18 children and 20 grandchildren) everyone gets involved. Their married children have created mixes that are shared in this book.

MASTER MIXES

Here they are—the starting points for hundreds of breads, main dishes, appetizers, side dishes, desserts and beverages! With these mixes in your pantry, refrigerator and freezer, you can offer a different menu every day of the year with a minimum of preparation time.

There are three types of Master Mixes:

Dry Mixes contain only dry ingredients and will keep 6 to 8 months in your cupboard. Shake or stir them before using, as they may have settled during storage. Dry mixes include HOT ROLL MIX, SNACK CAKE MIX and a variety of seasoning mixes.

Semi-dry Mixes contain shortening, butter or margarine. Be sure to follow storage instructions because some of these should be refrigerated. Favorites include QUICK MIX and WHITE SAUCE MIX. These mixes will generally stay fresh for 10 to 12 weeks.

Freezer-Refrigerator Mixes are moist and require cold storage. They keep well for 3 months or more, and range from FIVE-WAY BEEF MIX to PINTO BEAN MIX to CREAM-CHEESE PASTRY MlX.

Be certain to familiarize yourself with the different kinds of Master Mixes and the many potential uses for each. We’ve included our favorite recipes in the following chapters and listed their page numbers following the corresponding master-mix recipe. Of course, we expect you to experiment and create your own masterpieces.

A few Special Mixes, such as CHILI SEASONING MIX, HOT CHOCOLATE MIX and the salad-dressing mixes are designed primarily for one recipe. In this case the recipe is included with the mix instructions.

In addition to making life easier at home, mixes are a wonderful convenience when camping. With an ample supply of your own mixes, food can be prepared quickly and cooperatively at the campsite.

Creative gift-giving is one of the most popular uses of homemade mixes. A new bride will be grateful for such a creative gift—especially when you include a copy of Make-A-Mix as part of the gift. Adapt your gift-giving creativity to the holiday season by including a cookie cutter with COOKIE MIX packed in a pretty jar.

Whether for gifts or for your own use, be sure to label all containers clearly with the contents and date.
