Cooking with Soya Flour and Grits
Four circular photographs of hands stirring soya flour, pouring milk into a bowl, adding spice and flipping pancakes, each with a one-line cooking tip, under the headline 'Cooking with Soya Flour and Grits'. The technique is faint here; the ordinary kitchen setting and unnamed home cook are the plain-folks element in a practical instruction sheet.
