One pound of cottage cheese contains most of the protein, calcium, phosphorous, iron, and vitamins found in three quarts of milk. Three ounces of cottage cheese furnishes about 50% of an adult’s daily requirement for calcium. Cottage cheese is a complete protein (builds, repairs, and maintains body tissue); therefore, it is particularly desirable for growing children and is an ideal food for adults. Cottage cheese is easily digested and readily assimilated. It is an important food for the person desiring to lose weight because of its high nutritive value and low caloric content. One ounce of creamed cottage cheese supplies about 30 calories. In addition to its concentrated food value, cottage cheese is also a very versatile food. It can be served in a variety of tempting ways because it combines nicely with almost any type of food.

Beat egg whites, add ½ cup sugar gradually, and beat until stiff; fold into mixture. Pour into 9-inch pie pan lined with pastry; bake in a hot oven (450° F.) for 15 minutes, then lower temperature to slow (300° F.) and continue baking 40 minutes, or until set. Chill before serving. Note: there’s an abundance of filling here so you should roll out the pastry until the circle is about 4 inches larger than the top diameter of the pie plate. Fit the pastry into the pan, then trim with shears, leaving a 1½ inch overhanging border. Fold this border up and make an upright double-fold rim; flute with fingers. _Cheese Bowl_ ¾ cup sieved cottage cheese ¼ pound Roquefort cheese, sieved 1 tablespoon sour cream Few drops Worcestershire Sauce Crackers Fruit Mix cottage cheese, Roquefort cheese and sour cream just enough to blend. Add Worcestershire sauce to taste. Serve in bowl. Six servings. Mellow cheese served with tart fruit and crackers makes an elegant dessert.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
