<h2> FOREWORD CONTAINING GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR ALL RECIPES </h2>
<p>In this book, Philadelphia Ice Creams, comprising the first group, are
very palatable, but expensive. In many parts of the country it is quite
difficult to get good cream. For that reason, I have given a group of
creams, using part milk and part cream, but it must be remembered that it
takes smart "juggling" to make ice cream from milk. By far better use
condensed milk, with enough water or milk to rinse out the cans.</p>
<p>Ordinary fruit creams may be made with condensed milk at a cost of about
fifteen cents a quart, which, of course, is cheaper than ordinary milk and
cream.</p>
<p>In places where neither cream nor condensed milk can be purchased, a fair
ice cream is made by adding two tablespoonfuls of olive oil to each quart
of milk. The cream for Philadelphia Ice Cream should be rather rich, but
not double cream.</p>
<p>If pure raw cream is stirred rapidly, it swells and becomes frothy, like
the beaten whites of eggs, and is "whipped cream." To prevent this in
making Philadelphia Ice Cream, one-half the cream is scalded, and when it
is <i>very</i> cold, the remaining half of raw cream is added. This gives
the smooth, light and rich consistency which makes these creams so
different from others.</p>
<h3> USE OF FRUITS </h3>
<p>Use fresh fruits in the summer and the best canned unsweetened fruits in
the winter. If sweetened fruits must be used, cut down the given quantity
of sugar. Where acid fruits are used, they should be added to the cream
after it is partly frozen.</p>
<h3> TIME FOR FREEZING </h3>
<p>The time for freezing varies according to the quality of cream or milk or
water; water ices require a longer time than ice creams. It is not well to
freeze the mixtures too rapidly; they are apt to be coarse, not smooth,
and if they are churned before the mixture is icy cold they will be greasy
or "buttery."</p>
<p>The average time for freezing two quarts of cream should be ten minutes;
it takes but a minute or two longer for larger quantities.</p>
<h3> DIRECTIONS FOR FREEZING </h3>
<p>Pound the ice in a large bag with a mallet, or use an ordinary ice shaver.
The finer the ice, the less time it takes to freeze the cream. A four
quart freezer will require ten pounds of ice, and a quart and a pint of
coarse rock salt. You may pack the freezer with a layer of ice three
inches thick, then a layer of salt one inch thick, or mix the ice and salt
in the tub and shovel it around the freezer. Before beginning to pack the
freezer, turn the crank to see that all the machinery is in working order.
Then open the can and turn in the mixture that is to be frozen. Turn the
crank slowly and steadily until the mixture begins to freeze, then more
rapidly until it is completely frozen. If the freezer is properly packed,
it will take fifteen minutes to freeze the mixture. Philadelphia Ice
Creams are not good if frozen too quickly.</p>
<h3> TO REPACK </h3>
<p>After the cream is frozen, wipe off the lid of the can and remove the
crank; take off the lid, being very careful not to allow any salt to fall
into the can. Remove the dasher and scrape it off. Take a large knife or
steel spatula, scrape the cream from the sides of the can, work and pack
it down until it is perfectly smooth. Put the lid back on the can, and put
a cork in the hole from which the dasher was taken. Draw off the water,
repack, and cover the whole with a piece of brown paper; throw over a
heavy bag or a bit of burlap, and stand aside for one or two hours to
ripen.</p>
<h3> TO MOLD ICE CREAMS, ICES OR PUDDINGS </h3>
<p>If you wish to pack ice cream and serve it in forms or shapes, it must be
molded after the freezing. The handiest of all of these molds is either
the brick or the melon mold.</p>
<p>After the cream is frozen rather stiff, prepare a tub or bucket of
coarsely chopped ice, with one-half less salt than you use for freezing.
To each ten pounds of ice allow one quart of rock salt. Sprinkle a little
rock salt in the bottom of your bucket or tub, then put over a layer of
cracked ice, another layer of salt and cracked ice, and on this stand your
mold, which is not filled, but is covered with a lid, and pack it all
around, leaving the top, of course, to pack later on. Take your freezer
near this tub. Remove the lid from the mold, and pack in the cream,
smoothing it down until you have filled it to overflowing. Smooth the top
with a spatula or limber knife, put over a sheet of waxed paper and adjust
the lid. Have a strip of muslin or cheese cloth dipped in hot paraffin or
suet and quickly bind the seam of the lid. This will remove all danger of
salt water entering the pudding. Now cover the mold thoroughly with ice
and salt.</p>
<p>Make sure that your packing tub or bucket has a hole below the top of the
mold, so that the salt water will be drained off.</p>
<p>If you are packing in small molds, each mold, as fast as it is closed,
should be wrapped in wax paper and put down into the salt and ice. These
must be filled quickly and packed.</p>
<p>Molds should stand two hours, and may stand longer.</p>
<h3> TO REMOVE ICE CREAMS, ICES AND PUDDINGS FROM MOLDS </h3>
<p>Ice cream may be molded in the freezer; you will then have a perfectly
round smooth mold, which serves very well for puddings that are to be
garnished, and saves a great deal of trouble and extra expense for salt
and ice.</p>
<p>As cold water is warmer than the ordinary freezing mixture, after you lift
the can or mold, wipe off the salt, hold it for a minute under the cold
water spigot, then quickly wipe the top and bottom and remove the lid.
Loosen the pudding with a limber knife, hold the mold a little slanting,
give it a shake, and nine times out of ten it will come out quickly,
having the perfect shape of the can or mold. If the cream still sticks and
refuses to come out, wipe the mold with a towel wrung from warm water. Hot
water spoils the gloss of puddings, and unless you know exactly how to use
it, the cream is too much melted to garnish.</p>
<p>All frozen puddings, water ices, sherbets and sorbets are frozen and
molded according to these directions.</p>
<p>The quantities given in these recipes are arranged in equal amounts, so
that for a smaller number of persons they can be easily divided.</p>
<h3> QUANTITIES FOR SERVING </h3>
<p>Each quart of ice cream will serve, in dessert plates, four persons. In
stem ice cream dishes, silver or glass, it will serve six persons. A quart
of ice or sherbet will fill ten small sherbet stem glasses, to serve with
the meat course at dinner. This quantity will serve in lemonade glasses
eight persons.</p>

1 teaspoonful of vanilla extract<br/>
4 tablespoonfuls of sherry<br/></p>
<p>Shell, blanch and roast the almonds until they are a golden brown, then
grate them. Put half the cream and all the sugar over the fire in a double
boiler. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, take it from the fire, add the
caramel and the almonds, and, when cold, add the remaining pint of cream,
the vanilla and the sherry. Freeze as directed on page 7.</p>
<p>This quantity will serve eight persons.</p>
<h3> APRICOT ICE CREAM </h3>
<p>6 ounces of sugar<br/>
1 quart of cream<br/>
1 can of apricots or<br/>
1 quart of fresh apricots<br/></p>
<p>If fresh apricots are used, take an extra quarter of a pound of sugar. Put
half the cream and all the sugar over the fire in a double boiler and stir
until the sugar is dissolved; take from the fire and, when cold, add the
remaining cream. Turn the mixture into the freezer, and, when frozen
fairly stiff, add the apricots after having been pressed through a
colander. Return the lid, adjust the crank, and turn it slowly for five
minutes, then remove the dasher and repack.</p>
<p>This quantity should serve ten persons.</p>

<h2> NEAPOLITAN CREAMS </h2>
<p>In this group we have a set of frozen desserts called by many "ice
creams," but which are really frozen custards, flavored. In localities
where cream is not accessible, the Neapolitan Creams are far better than
milk thickened with cornstarch or gelatin.</p>
<h3> CHOCOLATE </h3>
<p>1 pint of cream<br/>
1 pint of milk<br/>
1/2 pound of sugar<br/>
4 eggs<br/>
2 ounces of chocolate<br/>
1 small piece of stick cinnamon<br/>
1 teaspoonful of vanilla<br/></p>
<p>Put the milk and cinnamon over the fire in a double boiler. Beat the yolks
of the eggs and sugar until very light, add the well-beaten whites, and
stir this into the hot milk. As soon as the mixture begins to thicken,
take it from the fire, add the grated chocolate, and, when cold, add the
cream and the vanilla. Freeze and pack as directed on page 7.</p>
<p>This is sufficient to serve ten persons.</p>
<h3> CARAMEL </h3>
<p>1 pint of cream<br/>
1 pint of milk<br/>
1/2 pound of sugar<br/>
4 eggs<br/>
3 tablespoonfuls of caramel<br/>
1 teaspoonful of vanilla<br/></p>
<p>Beat the yolks of the eggs until creamy and add the sugar; beat until
light, and then add the well-beaten whites of the eggs. Put the milk over
the fire in a double boiler; when hot, add the eggs, and stir and cook
until the mixture begins to thicken. Take from the fire, strain through a
fine sieve, add the vanilla and caramel, and, when cold, add the cream,
and freeze.</p>
<p>This will serve ten persons.</p>
<h3> COFFEE </h3>
<p>1 pint of strong black coffee<br/>
1 pint of cream<br/>
2 eggs<br/>
1/2 pound of sugar<br/>
1 teaspoonful of vanilla<br/></p>
<p>Beat the sugar and the yolks of the eggs until light, add the well-beaten
whites, and pour into them the coffee, boiling hot. Stir over the fire for
a minute, take from the fire, add the vanilla, and, when cold, add the
cream, and freeze.</p>
<p>This will serve eight persons.</p>
<h3> VANILLA </h3>
<p>1 pint of cream<br/>
1 pint of milk<br/>
1/2 pound of sugar<br/>
3 eggs<br/>
1/4 vanilla bean or a teaspoonful of good extract<br/></p>
<p>Put the milk over the fire in a double boiler, and add the vanilla bean,
split. Beat the yolks of the eggs and the sugar until light, add the
whites beaten to a stiff froth, and stir into them the hot milk. Return
the mixture to the double boiler and cook until it begins to thicken, or
will coat a knife blade dipped into it. Take from the fire, strain through
a colander, and, when cold, add the cream, and freeze. Repack and stand to
ripen for three hours or longer.</p>
<p>This will serve eight persons.</p>
<h3> WALNUT </h3>
<p>1 pint of cream<br/>
1 pint of milk<br/>
2 eggs<br/>
1/2 pint of chopped black walnuts<br/>
1 teaspoonful of vanilla<br/>
1 teaspoonful of caramel<br/></p>
<p>Beat the yolks of the eggs and the sugar until light; add the well-beaten
whites, and then the milk, scalding hot. Stir over the fire in a double
boiler until the mixture begins to thicken; take from the fire and add the
vanilla and caramel. When cold, add the walnuts and cream, and freeze.</p>
<p>This will serve eight persons.</p>
<h3> NEAPOLITAN BLOCKS </h3>
<p>These are made by putting layers of various kinds and colors of ice creams
into a brick mold. Pack and freeze. At serving time, cut into slices
crosswise of the brick, and serve each slice on a paper mat.</p>

<h2> ICE CREAMS FROM CONDENSED MILK </h2>
<p>These creams are not so good as those made from raw cream, but with care
and good flavoring are quite as good as the ordinary Neapolitan Creams.</p>
<p>There is one advantage—condensed milk is not so liable to curdle
when mixed with fresh fruits. These recipes will answer also for what is
sold under the name of "Evaporated Cream." Use unsweetened milk, or allow
for the sugar in the sweetened varieties.</p>
<h3> BANANA </h3>
<p>6 large bananas<br/>
1/4 pound of sugar<br/>
1 half pint can of condensed milk<br/>
1/2 cupful of water<br/>
Juice of one lemon<br/></p>
<p>Press the bananas through a sieve, and add the lemon juice and sugar.
Stand aside a half hour, add milk and water, stir until the sugar is
dissolved, and freeze as directed on page 7.</p>
<p>This will serve six persons.</p>
<h3> CARAMEL </h3>
<p>1/4 cupful of brown sugar<br/>
1/2 cupful of granulated sugar<br/>
1 cupful of water<br/>
2 half pint cans of condensed milk<br/>
1 teaspoonful of vanilla<br/></p>
<p>Put the brown sugar in an iron pan, melt and brown it. When it begins to
smoke, add two tablespoonfuls of hot water. Stir until liquid. Pour out
the milk, rinse the cans with the water, add the caramel, vanilla and
granulated sugar. When the sugar is dissolved, freeze as directed on page
7.</p>
<p>This will serve six persons.</p>
<h3> COCOANUT </h3>
<p>2 large cocoanuts<br/>
1 pint of boiling water<br/>
1/2 pint can of sweetened condensed milk<br/></p>
<p>Grate the cocoanuts and pour over them the boiling water. Stir until it is
cool, and press in a sieve. Put the fibre in a cheese cloth and wring it

<h2> FROZEN PUDDINGS AND DESSERTS </h2>
<h3> ALASKA BAKE </h3>
<p>Make a vanilla ice cream, one or two quarts, as the occasion demands. When
the ice cream is frozen, pack it in a brick mold, cover each side of the
mold with letter paper and fasten the bottom and lid. Wrap the whole in
wax paper and pack it in salt and ice; freeze for at least two hours
before serving time. At serving time, make a meringue from the whites of
six eggs beaten to a froth; add six tablespoonfuls of sifted powdered
sugar and beat until fine and dry. Turn the ice cream from the mold, place
it on a serving platter, and stand the platter on a steak board or an
ordinary thick plank. Cover the mold with the meringue pressed through a
star tube in a pastry bag, or spread it all over the ice cream as you
would ice a cake. Decorate the top quickly, and dust it thickly with
powdered sugar; stand it under the gas burners in a gas broiler or on the
grate in a hot coal or wood oven until it is lightly browned, and send it
quickly to the table. There is no danger of the ice cream melting if you
will protect the under side of the plate. The meringue acts as a
nonconductor for the upper part.</p>
<p>A two quart mold with meringue will serve ten persons.</p>
<h3> ALEXANDER BOMB </h3>
<p>1 pint of cream<br/>
1 pint of milk<br/>
4 eggs<br/>

1 pound of sugar<br/>
Juice of one lemon<br/></p>
<p>Peel, core and quarter the apples; put them in a saucepan with the grated
yellow rind of the lemon, half the sugar and all the water; boil until
tender, and add the juice of the lemon; rub the apples through a sieve.
When cold, freeze. Whip the cream. Beat the eggs and the remaining sugar
and add them to the milk, hot; stir until the mixture thickens, take from
the fire, and, when cold, add the orange blossoms water and the Curaçao;
freeze in another freezer. Divide the whipped cream, and stir one-half
into the first and one-half into the other mixture. Line a melon mold with
the custard mixture, fill the centre space with the frozen apples, and
cover over another layer of the custard; put over a sheet of letter paper
and put on the lid. Bind the seam with a strip of muslin dipped in
paraffin or suet, and pack the mold in salt and ice; freeze for at least
two hours. Serve plain, or it may be garnished with whipped cream.</p>

salt and ice. Put on top a sheet of letter paper, on top of this another
other layer of molds or cases, and so continue until you have the kettle
filled. Put the lid on the kettle and cover with salt and ice. Make sure
that you have a hole half-way up in the packing bucket or tub, so that
there is no danger of salt water overflowing the kettle. This is a homely
but very good freezing cave.</p>

<h2> WATER ICES AND SHERBETS OR SORBETS </h2>
<p>A water ice is a mixture of water, fruit and sugar, frozen without much
stirring; in fact, a water ice can be made in an ordinary tin kettle
packed in a bucket. If an ice cream freezer is used, the stirring should
be done occasionally. Personally, I prefer to pack the can, put on the lid
and fasten the hole with a cork rather than to use the dasher, stirring
now and then with a paddle. If you use the crank, turn slowly for a few
minutes, then allow the mixture to stand for five minutes; turn slowly
again, and again rest, and continue this until the water ice is frozen. A
much longer time is required for freezing water ice than ice cream.</p>
<p>When the mixture is thoroughly frozen, take out the dasher, scrape down
the sides of the can, give the ice a thorough beating with a wooden spoon;
put the cork in the lid of the can, draw the water from the tub, repack it
with coarse ice and salt, cover it with paper and a piece of blanket or
burlap, and stand aside for two or three hours to ripen just as you would
ice cream.</p>
<p>When it is necessary to make water ice every day or two, it is best to
make a syrup and stand it aside ready for use.</p>
<p>Fruit jellies may be used in the place of fresh fruits, allowing one pint
of jelly, the juice of one lemon and a half pound of sugar to each quart
of water.</p>
<p>When water ice is correctly frozen, it has the appearance of hard wet
snow. It must not be frothy nor light.</p>
<p>A sherbet or sorbet is made from the same mixture as a water ice, stirred
constantly while it is freezing, and has a meringue, made from the white
of one egg and a tablespoonful of powdered sugar, stirred in after the
dasher is removed.</p>

<h2> FROZEN FRUITS </h2>
<p>Frozen fruits are mixed and frozen the same as water ices, that is, they
are only stirred occasionally while freezing, but the fruit must be mashed
or it will form little balls of ice through a partly frozen mixture. The
only difference between a water ice and a frozen fruit is that the mixture
is not strained, and more fruit and less water is used. If canned fruits
are used, and these recipes followed, cut down the sugar. Cream may be
used in place of water with sub-acid fruits.</p>

frozen on the outside to the depth of one and a half to two inches, with a
soft centre. The quick parfait given under frozen desserts is now in
general use.</p>

<p>1 pint of cream<br/>
1/2 cupful of powdered sugar<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of coffee extract<br/></p>
<p>Whip the cream to a stiff froth, sprinkle over the sugar, add the coffee
extract, and, when well mixed, pack and freeze.</p>
<p>This will serve six persons.</p>
<h3> EGYPTIAN MOUSSE </h3>
<p>1/2 cupful of rice<br/>
1 tablespoonful of gelatin<br/>
2/3 cupful of sugar<br/>
1/4 pound of dates<br/>
1/2 pint of milk<br/>
1 pint of cream<br/>
1 teaspoonful of vanilla<br/></p>
<p>Wash the rice, throw it into boiling water, boil rapidly twenty minutes;
drain, add the milk, and cook in a double boiler fifteen minutes. Add the
sugar, the gelatin that has been moistened in cold water, and the dates
chopped. Take from the fire, add the vanilla, and when the mixture is
cold, fold in carefully the whipped cream. Freeze as directed in a mold,
and serve with cold quince jelly sauce.</p>
<p>This will serve ten persons.</p>
<h3> DUCHESS MOUSSE </h3>
<p>4 eggs<br/>
1/2 cupful of sugar<br/>
1 pint of cream<br/>
1 teaspoonful of vanilla<br/>
5 drops of cochineal<br/></p>
<p>Beat the yolks of the eggs and the sugar until very, very light; fold in
the whites of the eggs and the flavoring. Stand the bowl in a pan of
boiling water and beat continuously until the ingredients are hot; take
from the fire and beat constantly for ten minutes. When this is cool, fold
in the cream whipped to a stiff froth, pack and freeze.</p>
<p>Serve with quince jelly sauce poured over the mousse.</p>
<p>This will serve eight persons.</p>
<h3> PISTACHIO MOUSSE </h3>
<p>4 ounces of pistachio nuts<br/>
1 tablespoonful of gelatin<br/>
1 pint of water<br/>
1 pint of cream<br/>
1/2 pound of sugar<br/>
1 teaspoonful of almond extract<br/>
3 drops of green coloring<br/></p>
<p>Blanch the pistachio nuts and put them through a meat grinder. Boil the
sugar and water for five minutes; when cool, add the coloring, the
pistachio nuts, and the gelatin moistened in a little cold water. When
this is cold, fold in the cream beaten to a stiff froth, and freeze in a
mold as directed.</p>
<p>If this is not too well mixed the cream will separate, which makes the
handsomer dessert. When the mousse is turned from the mold it will then
have a solid white base with a rather green, beautiful transparent mixture
at the top.</p>
<p>This will serve ten persons.</p>
<h3> RICE MOUSSE WITH A COMPOTE OF MANDARINS </h3>
<p>1/2 cupful of rice<br/>
1 tablespoonful of gelatin<br/>
2/3 cupful of sugar<br/>
1 pint of milk<br/>
1 pint of cream<br/>
1/4 pound of candied cherries<br/>
1 teaspoonful of vanilla<br/></p>
<p>Wash and boil the rice in water for twenty minutes, drain, put it in a
double boiler with the milk and sugar; stir until the sugar is dissolved,
cover the kettle and cook slowly for twenty minutes. Press through a
sieve, add the vanilla, and the gelatin covered with cold water. When this
is cold, fold in the cream whipped to a stiff froth; pack and freeze.</p>
<p>I usually freeze this in the ordinary ice cream can; simply remove the
dasher, put in the mixture and pack it to freeze for two or three hours.</p>
<p>While this is ripening, separate the mandarins into carpels. Boil together
for five minutes one pound of sugar, a half pint of water and the juice of
one lemon; take from the fire, add at once the carpels, stir lightly until
they are thoroughly covered with the syrup and stand aside until <i>very
cold</i>.</p>
<p>At serving time, wipe the outside of the freezing can with a warm towel,
turn the mousse into the centre of a round dish, heap the carpels around
the base and over the top in the form of a pyramid, pour over the syrup,
and send at once to the table.</p>
<p>This will serve twelve persons.</p>

<h2> REFRESHMENTS FOR AFFAIRS </h2>
<p>In arranging this matter, I have made an earnest effort to be of service
to the housewife without or with one maid, as well as to those who are
fortunate enough to have trained help.</p>
<p>It is, perhaps, unnecessary to say that elaborate refreshments are
entirely out of place at small afternoon or evening cards. An ice, with a
wafer, or cake and coffee, served on card tables, are sufficient. A salad,
with bread and butter sandwiches and coffee, or a salad sandwich with
coffee, make a nice combination. Hot dishes, even light entrées, seem to
call for a dessert, or another course and coffee. For wedding and other
large receptions serve a greater variety of dishes—jellied meats,
boned chicken, salads, sandwiches, ices, cakes and coffee. In winter
creamed dishes may be served in paper cases on the same plate with salads
and other cold dishes. Serve coffee in small cups after refreshments.</p>
<p>Many so called elaborate dishes are quite easily made, and entrées are
frequently quite as good when rewarmed.</p>
<p>Chicken croquettes may be made and fried early in the day, ready to rewarm
on brown paper in a baking pan in a hot oven ten minutes before serving
time. Sandwiches will keep perfectly well for several hours if wrapped in
a damp towel and closed in a tin bread box. Salad sandwiches are better,
however, if made as near serving time as possible.</p>
<p>If a large reception is to be given, even with good help, prepare as many
dishes as possible the day before, to avoid confusion on the fixed day.</p>
<p>Refreshments for small affairs need not necessarily cost much time or
money. A half cupful of chopped left-over steak, a couple of chops or a
bit of chicken or a box of sardines, make a good foundation for molds of
tomato jelly. Served with bread and butter sandwiches and coffee they are
quite sufficient for afternoon or evening cards.</p>
<p>Many of the ices in this book are new and attractive. The new sorbets are
liked by those who are always striving for a change. Many are old and
reliable.</p>
<p>At large affairs, serve from the dining table.</p>
<p>At card parties, large and small, serve on the card tables, using a small
tea cloth on each table.</p>
<p>At afternoon teas, serve from the tea table in the drawing room.</p>
<p>At lawn parties, serve from a large table on the lawn. Small tables may be
placed here and there for the convenience of guests.</p>
<p>Every day afternoon tea may be served, in the summer on the porch, in the
winter, in the living room or library.</p>
<p>If two dishes only are served, be sure that they harmonize with each other
and with the manner of service.</p>
<p>Suitable and hygienic combinations are always to be considered, but the
æsthetic side seems to me of equal importance.</p>
<h3> COFFEE FOR LARGE HOME AFFAIRS </h3>
<p>Allow eleven ounces of finely ground coffee to each gallon of water. This
will serve twenty five persons with one coffee cup each, and forty persons
with after-dinner cups. The better way to make a large quantity of coffee
without an urn is to purchase a new wash boiler. Wash it and put in the
required quantity of water (cold). Weigh the coffee and divide it into
half pound lots. Put each lot in a small cheese cloth bag; tie the top of
the bag, allowing room for the coffee to swell. Put the bags in the water
an hour before serving time, bring slowly to a boil, and then boil rapidly
for five minutes. Remove the bags at once, pressing them well. Keep the
coffee very hot until it is all served.</p>
<p>Coffee is not spoiled by being kept at boiling point for some time, if the
grounds are removed.</p>

<h2> SOUPS </h2>
<h3> BOUILLON </h3>
<p>2 pounds of chopped lean beef<br/>
2 quarts of cold water<br/>
1 small onion<br/>
12 cloves<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of sugar<br/>
2 teaspoonfuls of salt<br/>
12 whole peppercorns<br/>
A dash of cayenne<br/>
Juice of half a lemon<br/></p>
<p>Put the sugar in the soup kettle, add the onion, sliced, and shake until
the onion is thoroughly browned and the sugar almost burned; add the meat,
shake it for a moment, and add the water. Cover, bring to boiling point,
and put over a slow fire to simmer for two hours. Add all the seasonings
and simmer one hour longer. Strain through a colander, pressing the meat.
Beat the whites of two eggs slightly, then whisk them into the warm
bouillon, and add the juice of the lemon. Bring to boiling point, boil
rapidly five minutes, let it stand a moment, and strain through two
thicknesses of cheese cloth. This should stand until it is perfectly cold,
so that every particle of fat may be removed from the surface. Reheat to
serve.</p>
<p>This will serve ten persons, using ordinary bouillon cups.</p>
<h3> CLAM BOUILLON </h3>
<p>50 large clams<br/>
2 quarts of water<br/>
12 whole peppercorns<br/>
1/2 teaspoonful of celery seed<br/></p>
<p>Wash and scrub the clams thoroughly. Put them, a few at a time, in the
soup kettle, the bottom of which has been covered with a pint of boiling
water. Boil rapidly, take the clams out with a skimmer, and put in another
lot, and so continue until all the clams have been cooked. Remove them
from the shells, saving all the liquor. Chop and return them, with the
liquor and remaining water, to the soup kettle. Simmer gently a half hour,
then add the peppercorns, crushed, and the celery seed. Cover the kettle,
take it from the fire and allow it to stand until perfectly cold. Strain
through two thicknesses of cheese cloth. Reheat to serve.</p>
<p>This will serve fifteen persons.</p>
<h3> BELLEVUE BOUILLON </h3>
<p>1 quart of plain or chicken bouillon<br/>
1 quart of clam bouillon<br/>
1/2 pint of cream<br/>
Paprika<br/></p>
<p>This is one of the most elegant of all bouillons. Heat the bouillons
separately, mix them at the last minute, pour at once into heated cups,
put a tablespoonful of whipped cream on the top of each cup, garnish with
a dusting of paprika, and send to the table.</p>
<p>This will serve ten persons; in a pinch, twelve.</p>
<h3> CHICKEN BOUILLON </h3>
<p>1 four pound fowl<br/>
3 quarts of water<br/>
1 onion<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of sugar<br/>
1 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 bay leaf<br/>
1 saltspoonful of celery seed, or one half cupful of chopped celery<br/>
1 saltspoonful of black pepper<br/></p>
<p>Draw the chicken and cut it up as for a fricassee. Scald and skin the
feet, and crack them thoroughly with your cleaver knife. Put the sugar in
a soup kettle, add the onion, sliced, shake over a quick fire until brown,
add the chicken and the water, bring to boiling point, and skim. Simmer
gently for two hours. Add all the seasonings, simmer one hour longer, and
strain. Add the juice of half a lemon and the whites of two eggs, slightly
beaten. Boil rapidly five minutes, and strain through two thicknesses of
cheese cloth. Reheat to serve. This may be used in place of beef bouillon,
with the clam broth, for Bellevue bouillon.</p>
<p>This will serve twelve persons.</p>
<h3> OYSTER BOUILLON </h3>
<p>50 fat oysters<br/>
2 quarts of water<br/>
12 whole peppercorns<br/>
12 whole allspice<br/>
1-1/2 teaspoonfuls of salt<br/></p>
<p>Drain and wash the oysters. Throw them at once in a hot kettle, shake
until the gills have curled, cover the kettle, and simmer gently for
fifteen minutes. Drain again, this time saving the liquor. Return it to
the kettle with the peppercorns and allspice, crushed, and water. Chop the
oysters with a silver knife, put them back in the kettle, simmer gently a
half hour, and add the salt. Strain through two thicknesses of cheese
cloth, reheat and serve with whipped cream on top of each cup.</p>
<p>This serves fifteen persons.</p>
<p>TOMATO PUREE à la RORER</p>
<p>1 quart can of tomatoes<br/>
1/2 pint of cream<br/>
1 quart of chicken bouillon<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of butter<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of arrowroot<br/>
1 bay leaf<br/>
1 blade of mace<br/>
1 onion<br/>
1 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 teaspoonful of paprika<br/></p>
<p>Add the onion, paprika, mace and bay leaf to the tomatoes, boil rapidly
five minutes. Moisten the arrowroot with three or four tablespoonfuls of
cold water, add it to the hot tomato, boil ten minutes, and press through
a sieve. Add the chicken bouillon, boil ten minutes, add the butter, and,
when the butter is thoroughly dissolved, turn at once into cups. Put a
tablespoonful of whipped cream on top of each, and serve.</p>
<p>This will serve ten persons.</p>
<h3> GLAZE </h3>
<p>Glaze is absolutely necessary for fine cooking, either for the browning of
sweetbreads, birds or chickens.</p>
<p>Cover a half box of gelatin with a half cupful of cold water to soak for
an hour. Put one quart of good bouillon, chicken or beef, over the fire,
and boil it rapidly until reduced to a pint; add the gelatin. As soon as
the gelatin is dissolved, strain the mixture. Put four tablespoonfuls of
sugar into an iron saucepan, stir until it is browned, then add to it
slowly the hot glaze, stir until it is thoroughly melted, turn it into a
china or granite receptacle, and stand away to cool. Keep this in the
refrigerator, and use it according to directions.</p>

1 pint of milk<br/>
4 level tablespoonfuls of butter<br/>
4 level tablespoonfuls of flour<br/>
1 level teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 saltspoonful of white pepper<br/></p>
<p>Wash the sweetbreads and trim them. Throw them in a saucepan of boiling
water and simmer gently for one hour; drain and throw them in cold water.
The water in which they were boiled may be used for stock. When they are
thoroughly cold, remove the membrane, and pick them into small pieces. Rub
the butter and flour together in a saucepan, add the milk, stir until
boiling, add the mushrooms, chopped fine, the sweetbreads, salt and
pepper. Stir until it again reaches the boiling point, cover and stand
over hot water for twenty minutes. Serve in ramekin dishes, paté shells or
paper cases. This will fill twelve cases, or fourteen paté shells.</p>
<p>SWEETBREADS à la CREME, No. 2</p>
<p>1 pound of fresh mushrooms<br/>
2 pairs of calves' sweetbreads<br/>
1/2 pint of milk<br/>
4 level tablespoonfuls of butter<br/>
4 level tablespoonfuls of flour<br/>
1 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 saltspoonful of white pepper<br/></p>
<p>Wash and stem the mushrooms; do not peel them. With a silver knife cut
them into slices. Put half the butter in a saucepan, add the mushrooms and
half the milk, and the salt and pepper. Cover the saucepan, and stew
slowly a half hour. Rub the remaining butter and flour together; drain the
liquor from the mushrooms, add it, with the rest of the milk, to the
butter and flour. Stir until boiling, add the mushrooms and sweetbreads
that have been boiled and picked apart. Cover the saucepan, stand it over
hot water, or use a double boiler, pushing the boiler to the back of the
stove for twenty to thirty minutes. The saucepan must be kept closely
covered, or the aroma of the mushrooms will be lost.</p>
<p>This will fill sixteen cases, or fourteen paté shells, or alone it will
serve twelve persons.</p>
<p>SWEETBREADS à la BORDELAISE</p>
<p>1 pair of calves' sweetbreads<br/>
1/2 pint of stock<br/>
1 onion<br/>
1 bay leaf<br/>
1/2 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 can of mushrooms<br/>
1 teaspoonful of browning or kitchen bouquet<br/>
1 saltspoonful of white pepper<br/>
2 level tablespoonfuls of butter<br/>
2 level tablespoonfuls of flour<br/></p>
<p>Wash the sweetbreads, put them in a saucepan, add the bay leaf, onion and
one pint of cold water; bring to boiling point, and simmer gently one
hour. Save the water in which they were boiled. Throw the sweetbreads into
cold water, remove the membrane and pick them apart. Put the butter and
flour in a saucepan; when thoroughly mixed, add a half pint of stock in
which the sweetbreads were boiled, stir until boiling, add the mushrooms,
drained, and the seasoning. Bring to boiling point, and push to the back
of the fire for ten minutes. Skim off any butter that comes to the
surface, add the sweetbreads, cook gently ten minutes longer, and serve in
either paté cases, ramekin dishes, or paper cases.</p>
<p>This will serve eight persons.</p>
<h3> BAKED SWEETBREADS </h3>
<p>2 pairs of calves' sweetbreads<br/>
1 can of French peas<br/>
3 tablespoonfuls of butter<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of glaze<br/>
1 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 saltspoonful of pepper<br/></p>
<p>Wash the sweetbreads and soak them in cold water; cut them apart and trim
them neatly. Sprinkle the bottom of a baking pan with a chopped onion, put
the sweetbreads on top, dust them lightly with salt and pepper, baste them
with one tablespoonful of the butter, melted, and run them in a quick oven
to bake for twenty minutes. Then brush them thoroughly with glaze and bake
them ten minutes longer. Drain, wash and heat the peas, add the remaining
butter and season them with salt and pepper. Put the peas in the bottom of
the serving dish, dish the sweetbreads in them and send at once to the
table. These may also be served in individual dishes, cutting the
sweetbreads in small pieces, so they may be eaten with a fork.</p>
<p>They will serve from four to six people. The throat sweetbread may be cut
into halves, but as a rule one sweetbread is served to each person.</p>
<h3> LAMBS' SWEETBREADS IN PAPER CASES </h3>
<p>8 lambs' sweetbreads<br/>
1/2 box of gelatin<br/>
1 pint of beef stock or chicken bouillon<br/>
1 can of peas<br/>
1 head of celery<br/>
2 level tablespoonfuls of butter<br/>
2 level tablespoonfuls of flour<br/>
1/2 pint of milk<br/>
1 lemon<br/>
Hearts of lettuce<br/>
Yolks of two eggs<br/>
Salt and pepper<br/></p>
<p>Wash the sweetbreads, put them in a saucepan, cover with boiling water,
add two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and a sliced onion. Cook gently for
three-quarters of an hour. Drain, put them in a baking pan, brush them
with butter, add a few tablespoonfuls of glaze or stock, put over three or
four slices of bacon, and cook in the oven a half hour, basting three or
four times. Rub the butter and flour together, add the milk, stir until
boiling, add two tablespoonfuls of the soaked gelatin, a half teaspoonful
of salt and a little white pepper. Take from the fire and add hastily the
beaten yolks of the eggs. Cover the bottom of a cold baking pan with
muffin rings, put one sweetbread into each muffin ring. When the sauce is
a little cool, cover the sweetbreads thoroughly, filling the rings quite
full. Stand these away over night in a cold place.</p>
<p>Dissolve the remaining gelatin in the hot bouillon, season, add the lemon
juice, and stand it aside over night. At serving time, remove the contents
from the rings and place them in paper cases of the same size. Turn the
clear aspic out on to a towel and cut it into pretty shapes. Decorate the
top of the cases with this aspic, placing a sprig of green in the centre.
Drain and press the cold peas through a sieve, and season them with salt
and pepper; put this pulp in a pastry bag with a star tube, and decorate
the top of each mold. Serve at once with mayonnaise passed in a boat.</p>
<p>Another way is to fill the bottom of the paper cases with finely chopped
celery, mixed with mayonnaise, and put the sweetbreads on top, omitting
the peas. If made well, these are exceedingly handsome. One "ring" will be
served to each person.</p>
<p>SWEETBREADS à la NEWBURG</p>
<p>2 pairs of calves' sweetbreads<br/>
1 can of mushrooms<br/>
4 hard boiled yolks of eggs<br/>

1/2 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 saltspoonful of white pepper<br/>
1/2 saltspoonful of grated nutmeg<br/>
A dash of cayenne<br/></p>
<p>Cook the sweetbreads as directed in first recipe; when cold, pick them
apart, rejecting the membrane. Rub the butter and flour together, add the
milk, stir until boiling, and add this slowly to the mashed yolks of the
eggs. Work and stir until you have a perfectly smooth paste. Press it
through a fine sieve, add the salt, pepper, mushrooms and sweetbreads.
Stand over hot water for twenty minutes, until thoroughly hot. Add, if you
use it, four tablespoonfuls of sherry, and serve.</p>
<p>This will serve ten persons.</p>

<h2> SHELL-FISH DISHES </h2>
<h3> DEVILED CRABS </h3>
<p>12 crabs, or one pint of crab flake<br/>
4 hard boiled eggs<br/>
2 level tablespoonfuls of butter<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of soft bread crumbs<br/>
1 tablespoonful of flour<br/>
1 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 saltspoonful of grated nutmeg<br/>
1 teaspoonful of onion juice<br/>
1/2 pint of milk<br/>
A dash of cayenne<br/></p>
<p>Chop the whites of the hard boiled eggs very, very fine. Put the yolks
through a sieve. Rub the butter and flour together, and add the milk; stir
until boiling, take from the fire, and add the bread crumbs and the eggs.
Add all the seasoning to the crab flake, mix the two together, and fill at
once into the shells. The shells must be quite full, so that there will be
no danger of the fat being held in the shell. Dip the shells in egg, then
cover them thickly with bread crumbs. It is well to egg and bread crumb
the upper side again; in fact both dippings may be on the upper sides,
leaving the shells red underneath. Put these in a frying basket and fry
for a minute in hot, deep fat. Serve one to each person.</p>
<p>This quantity should fill eight shells.</p>
<p>CRAB BACKS à la CARACAS</p>
<p>1 dozen crabs, or six backs and a pint of crab flake<br/>
1 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 teaspoonful of onion juice<br/>
A dash of cayenne<br/></p>
<p>Add the seasoning to the crab flakes, and mix without breaking the flakes.
Fill the mixture into the backs, put a teaspoonful of butter on the top of
each, sprinkle lightly with crumbs, and bake in a quick oven twenty
minutes,</p>
<p>CRAB MEAT à la DEWEY</p>
<p>1 pint of crab flake<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of butter<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of flour<br/>
1 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 red and one green pepper<br/>
1/2 pint of chicken stock, or milk<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of sherry<br/>
Yolks of two eggs<br/></p>
<p>Drop the peppers into hot fat just a moment and rub off the skin, remove
the seeds and chop the flesh fine. Put this, with the butter, in a
saucepan, and shake over the fire until the peppers are soft. Add the
flour, mix, and add the stock or milk; stir until boiling, add the salt
and pepper and the crab flakes. Do not stir, but heat slowly over hot
water. When hot, add the yolks of the eggs, beaten with two tablespoonfuls
of cream. Heat again, just a moment, being careful not to curdle the eggs,
and serve on toast.</p>
<p>This dish is very nice when made in a chafing dish, and will serve six
people.</p>
<h3> LOBSTER CUTLETS </h3>
<p>1 pint of lobster meat<br/>
2 level tablespoonfuls of butter<br/>

1 saltspoonful of white pepper<br/>
1/2 saltspoonful of grated nutmeg<br/>
Yolk of one egg<br/>
A dash of cayenne<br/></p>
<p>Chop the boiled lobster rather fine with a silver knife, and add to it all
the seasoning. Rub the butter and flour together in a saucepan, add the
milk, stir until you have a smooth, thick paste, add the yolk of the egg,
cook a moment longer, add the lobster, and turn out to cool. When cold,
form into cutlet shaped croquettes, dip in egg, roll in bread crumbs, and
fry in deep hot fat. Put a small claw in the end of each cutlet to
represent the bone. Serve with these either cream sauce or sauce tartar.</p>
<p>This quantity should make eight cutlets.</p>
<h3> LOBSTER NEWBURG </h3>
<p>Make this precisely the same as crabs Newburg, using one pint of boiled
lobster meat. Cut the lobster in cubes of about one inch. Purchase one
large or two small lobsters.</p>
<h3> OYSTER CROQUETTES </h3>
<p>50 fat oysters<br/>
4 level tablespoonfuls of flour<br/>
2 level tablespoonfuls of butter<br/>
1 tablespoonful of chopped parsley<br/>
1 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 teaspoonful of onion juice<br/>
1/2 saltspoonful of nutmeg<br/>
1 saltspoonful of white pepper<br/>
Yolks of two eggs<br/></p>
<p>Drain and wash the oysters, throw them into a hot kettle, shake until the
gills curl and the liquid boils. Boil five minutes and drain, saving the
liquor. There should be a half cupful of liquor. Chop the oysters and add
them to the liquor. Rub the butter and flour together, add the oysters and
liquor, stir until the mixture reaches boiling point, and push to the back
of the stove where it will cook for ten minutes. Add all the seasoning and
the yolks of the eggs, cook just a minute, and turn out to cool. This must
stand either over night, or must be placed directly on the ice for at
least four hours. When cold, form into small cylinder shaped croquettes,
dip in egg and bread crumbs, and fry in deep hot fat.</p>
<p>This quantity will make one dozen good sized cylinders.</p>

<h2> POULTRY AND GAME DISHES </h2>
<h3> CHICKEN CROQUETTES </h3>
<p>1 four pound chicken<br/>
1/2 pint of milk<br/>
2 level tablespoonfuls of butter<br/>
4 level tablespoonfuls of flour<br/>
2 teaspoonfuls of salt<br/>
2 teaspoonfuls of onion juice<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of chopped parsley<br/>
1 saltspoonful of grated nutmeg<br/>
1 saltspoonful of white pepper<br/>
A dash of cayenne<br/></p>
<p>Draw, truss the chicken, put it into boiling water, boil it rapidly for
ten minutes, and let it simmer until tender. When cold, remove the meat,
rejecting the bones and skin. Chop the meat with a chopping knife; do not
put it through the meat grinder. When fine, add all the seasoning and mix
thoroughly. Put the milk in a saucepan over the fire, and add the butter
and flour, rubbed together. Stir and cook until you have a smooth paste,
add the chicken, mix thoroughly, and turn out to cool. When cold, form
into croquettes, dip in an egg, beaten with a tablespoonful of water, roll
in dry bread crumbs, and fry in deep hot fat. Serve plain, or with French
peas.</p>
<p>This will make thirteen large croquettes.</p>
<p>One pair of thoroughly cooked sweetbreads may be chopped with the chicken,
or you may add a pair of parboiled calf's brains; this increases quantity,
and makes the croquettes more creamy.</p>
<p>This should make sixteen large cylinders or pyramids, serving sixteen
persons.</p>
<p>The meat from the chicken after it is chopped should measure one quart.
Any other meat may be substituted for chicken, but could not be used, of
course, for an elegant affair.</p>

Yolks of two eggs<br/></p>
<p>Cut the chicken into cubes of a half inch. Boil the sweetbreads and pick
them apart, rejecting the membrane. Drain and wash the mushrooms, cut them
into halves and mix them with the sweetbread and chicken. Rub the butter
and flour together, and add the milk; when boiling, add salt, pepper,
onion juice and meat. Stand this over hot water in a covered saucepan for
twenty minutes, add the yolks of the eggs, slightly beaten, and bring just
to boiling point.</p>
<p>Served in ramekins or paper cases this is sufficient for fifteen persons.
Served as a supper or luncheon dish alone, twelve persons.</p>

2 level tablespoonfuls of flour<br/>
1 saltspoonful of white pepper<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of sherry<br/></p>
<p>Drop the pepper into hot fat for a moment to remove the skin, then chop it
very fine. Put the butter in a saucepan or chafing dish, add the pepper,
stir until the pepper is soft, add the flour, mix and add the milk, stir
until boiling, and add the salt. Cut the meat into pieces an inch square,
add them to the hot sauce, add the mushrooms, sliced, and, when hot, add

centre of the bottom, and around the edge a ring of peas. Put the stock
and bread over the fire, and, when boiling, add the chicken and
seasonings, stir until it reaches the boiling point, take from the fire,
and add the eggs, well beaten. Put this carefully in the cups, cover the
top with oiled paper, stand the cups in a shallow pan partly filled with
hot water, and cook in the oven about twenty minutes, until the contents
are "set" in the centre. Heat the remaining quantity of peas, and season
them with salt and pepper. Turn the boudins on a platter, surround them
with the hot peas, and send them at once to the table.</p>
<p>This will serve eight persons.</p>
<p>These may also be served with plain sauce, or with Sauce Bechamel.</p>

<h2> COLD DISHES </h2>
<h3> POULET EN BELLEVUE </h3>
<p>1/2 box of gelatin<br/>
1 pint of chicken stock<br/>
1 bay leaf<br/>
1 onion<br/>
The white meat of two chickens<br/>
Salt and pepper<br/></p>
<p>Remove the white meat carefully from two boiled chickens; split the
breasts into halves, long ways. Cover the gelatin with a half cupful of
cold water to soak for a half hour. Add the seasonings to the stock or
bouillon, bring to a boil, add the gelatin, and if not clear, clarify with
the white of an egg. Add the juice of a lemon and strain. Take small
oblong china or tin molds, garnish the bottoms with fancy bits of good red
pepper and chopped truffles, baste over a little of the hot aspic, and let
them stand until very cold. Cool the remaining aspic, but do not allow it
to become solid. Put on top of each mold a half breast of chicken, dust
with salt and pepper, pour over the cold aspic and stand them aside over
night. At serving time dip the molds quickly into hot water, turn out the
cutlets, dish them on luncheon plates, and garnish with hearts of lettuce.
Pass mayonnaise dressing.</p>
<p>This will make eight molds and serve eight persons. Use the dark meat for
fricassee or stew of chicken.</p>
<p>TOMATOES à l'ALGERIENNE</p>
<p>The white meat of one chicken<br/>
24 perfect tomatoes<br/>
1/4 box of gelatin<br/>
1/2 pint of chicken stock<br/>
1/2 pint of cream<br/>
1 teaspoonful of anchovy paste<br/>
3 heads of fine lettuce<br/>
1/2 pint of mayonnaise<br/></p>
<p>Peel the tomatoes, cut off the stem end and scoop out the hard portion and
the seeds; put the tomatoes on the ice. Put the meat of the chicken
through the meat grinder, season it with the anchovy paste, if you have
it, and salt and pepper. Soak the gelatin in a half cupful of cold water,
add the chicken stock, bring to a boil, add a half teaspoonful of salt, a
dash of pepper, and the juice of half a lemon. Mix a part of this with the
chicken. Whip the cream, stir it into the chicken mixture, and fill it
into the tomatoes, making them smooth on top. When the tomatoes are very
cold and the aspic is cool, but not thick, baste just a little over the
top, dust thickly with chopped parsley and finely chopped almonds, and
stand them in a cold place for several hours. Arrange each tomato in a
little nest of lettuce leaves, and pass with them mayonnaise dressing. If
these are made well, they are the most sightly of the small cold dishes,
and cost almost nothing.</p>
<p>This, of course, will be served to twenty-four persons.</p>
<p>Tongue, sardines, lobster, crab meat or cold left-over meat may be
substituted for chicken.</p>
<h3> GALANTINE OF CHICKEN </h3>
<p>2 chickens<br/>
1/2 pound of boiled ham<br/>
1/4 pound of larding pork<br/>
1 can of mushrooms<br/>
2 teaspoonfuls of salt<br/>
1 egg<br/>
1 pound of lean veal<br/>
2 truffles<br/>
Salt and pepper<br/></p>
<p>Singe the chickens, and remove the head and feet; place the chicken on the
table with the breast down. Take a small, sharp-pointed sabatier knife and
cut the skin from neck to rump right down the back bone. Carefully and
slowly run the knife between the bones and the flesh, keeping it always
close to the bone. Take out first the wings, then loosen the carcass, and
then take out the legs. Unjoint and separate each bone, and take it out as
you come to it. Do not take the small bones from the wings; they may be
cut off. When you have removed all the flesh from the bones, keeping it
perfectly whole, and without breaking the skin, wipe the skin and put it
on the table; draw the legs and the wings inside. Take all the raw meat
from the other chicken, rejecting the skin and bones, but you do not have
to bone this one carefully. Put it in the meat grinder, with half the ham,
all the veal and half the bacon. When chopped, season it with two
teaspoonfuls of salt, and two saltspoonfuls of white pepper; add the egg
and mix thoroughly. Put a thin layer of this into the boned chicken, put
in here and there long pieces of the remaining ham and bacon, a layer of
mushrooms, blocks of truffles, then another layer of the forcemeat, and so
continue until you have used all the ingredients. Pull up the skin and sew
it down the back, making a perfect roll. Tie the neck and rump. Roll this
in cheese cloth, fasten it securely, and sew the cheese cloth so that the
roll will be perfect when done.</p>
<p>Put all the bones in the soup kettle, add a sliced onion, a bay leaf, and
sufficient cold water to come just to the top of the bones. Bring to
boiling point, and put in the "galantine," as the chicken roll is called.
Cover the kettle, and boil continuously for four hours. When done,
slightly cool, remove the cloth, and stand it away until perfectly cold.
Strain the water, which should measure two quarts; add to it a box of
gelatin that has been soaked in a cupful of water for an hour. Bring this
to boiling point, season it with salt and pepper, add the juice of a lemon
and the whites of two eggs, slightly beaten. Boil five minutes, and strain
through two thicknesses of cheese cloth. Select a long round pudding mold,
or a regular boned chicken mold, something like a large melon mold; baste
the mold inside with this liquid jelly, decorate it in patterns or
unconventional designs, using green and red pepper, the hard boiled white
of egg and peas. Allow the remaining jelly to cool, but not stiffen. After
you finish the decorations, baste them carefully with, cold gelatin and
stand the mold on ice. Then put in a little more cold jelly, until you
have a good base upon which to rest the "galantine." Put it in, breast
side down, and pour over the remaining gelatin. Stand in a cold place for
twenty-four hours. When ready to serve, wipe the mold with a warm cloth,
and turn the "galantine" on to a long platter. Garnish the platter with
hearts of lettuce. To serve, cut the "galantine" in the thinnest possible
slices, and serve it with a salad, either celery, or mixed vegetables, or
plain lettuce; or it may be served with a sauce tartar or plain mayonnaise
dressing. This is one of the most elegant of cold dishes, and will serve
twenty-five persons.</p>
<h3> CHICKEN MOUSSE </h3>
<p>1 pint of cooked chopped chicken<br/>
1/2 pint of milk<br/>
2 level tablespoonfuls of butter<br/>
1 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 level tablespoonful of flour<br/>
1 tablespoonful of granulated gelatin<br/>
1 saltspoonful of white pepper<br/>
1/2 pint of cream<br/></p>
<p>Rub the butter and the flour together over the fire, add the milk, stir
until boiling, and add the gelatin that has been soaked in a couple of
tablespoonfuls of cold water for fifteen minutes. Add the salt, pepper and
chicken, mix thoroughly and stand it aside to cool. Beat the cream to a
stiff froth. Make a half cupful of mayonnaise from the yolk of one egg and
eight tablespoonfuls of olive oil; stir the cream gradually into the
mayonnaise and then add it carefully to the cold chicken mixture. Turn it
into an ordinary melon pudding mold, cover closely and stand it in a
bucket of cracked ice and salt. It is wise to bind the cover seam to keep
out the salt water. When slightly frozen, which will take about two hours,
remove the lid, turn out the mousse, cover the top with first a ring of
hard boiled whites, chopped fine, then a ring of finely chopped parsley,
inside this a ring of the yolks of the eggs pressed through a sieve, and
right in the centre a sprig of curly parsley. Send at once to the table.
Lobster, crab flakes and cold roasted game may be used according to this
recipe.</p>
<p>This will serve eight persons at a reception. At a luncheon only six
persons.</p>
<h3> PATE-DE-FOIE-GRAS IN ASPIC </h3>
<p>1 box of granulated gelatin<br/>
1 teaspoonful of beef extract<br/>
1 small onion<br/>
1 bay leaf<br/>
1 blade of mace<br/>
1 truffle<br/>
1 carrot<br/>
1 green pepper<br/>
1 red pepper<br/>
1 lemon<br/>
1 tureen of foie-gras<br/></p>
<p>Cover the gelatin with a half cupful of cold water to soak for a half
hour. Put all the vegetables and seasoning in one quart of cold water,
bring to boiling point, simmer gently twenty minutes, add the beef
extract, one teaspoonful of salt and a saltspoonful of black pepper. Add
the gelatin, stir until the gelatin is dissolved, and strain. Add the
juice of the lemon and the whites of two eggs, slightly beaten. Bring to
boiling point, boil rapidly for five minutes, and strain through two
thicknesses of cheese cloth. Cut the peppers into fancy shapes. Chop the
truffle fine. Select a dozen dariole molds, moisten them in cold water,
baste them with the aspic, and, when cold, garnish the bottoms handsomely
with a pepper and truffle. Put in another layer of aspic, which must be
cold, but not thick; on top of this place a slice of pate-de-foie-gras,
cover them carefully with the aspic, filling the mold to the top. Stand
these away over night. Serve on crisp lettuce leaves, and pass with them a
mayonnaise. These are the handsomest of all the cold aspic dishes.</p>
<p>A single large mold may be used for ball suppers or large receptions. To
serve, cut it into slices, and pass mayonnaise of celery.</p>
<p>This will serve twelve persons.</p>
<h3> BONED TURKEY </h3>
<p>Turkey is boned precisely the same as you bone a "galantine" of chicken.
Use for the stuffing:</p>
<p>2 chickens<br/>
1 pound of sausage meat<br/>
1 pound of veal<br/>
3 truffles<br/>
1 can of mushrooms<br/>
1 pound of ham<br/></p>
<p>Take six hours to cook the turkey. When cold put it in a boned turkey mold
that has been garnished, and fill with aspic.</p>
<p>Cut in very thin slices to serve thirty persons.</p>
<h3> BONED QUAIL </h3>
<p>Purchase twenty-four quails. Split them down the back and remove the
bones, keeping your knife close to the bone. Do not break the skin nor
tear the flesh. Spread them out, skin side down, on a board and stuff them
with the seasoned sausage meat. Put them into shape, sew them down the
back, cover the breast of each with a slice of bacon, put them in a baking
pan, add a half pint of hot stock, and bake in a quick oven forty minutes,
dusting with pepper and basting frequently. When cold, remove the string
from the back.</p>
<p>For a dozen quails use:</p>
<p>1 box of gelatin<br/>
1 quart of milk<br/>
1 tablespoonful of grated onion<br/>
2 truffles<br/>
4 level tablespoonfuls of butter<br/>
4 level tablespoonfuls of flour<br/>
2 teaspoonfuls of salt<br/>
1 saltspoonful of white pepper<br/></p>
<p>Soak the gelatin in the milk a half hour. Rub the butter and flour
together, then add the milk and gelatin, stir until boiling, and add all
the seasoning and strain. Stand aside until cool, but not thick. Place the
birds on a tin sheet or a large platter, and baste them with this cold
white sauce. As soon as the first basting has hardened, baste them again.
This time decorate the breasts with the truffles cut into fancy shapes. To
serve, arrange them around a large mound of mayonnaise of celery. Use
either a meat platter, or two round chop dishes. Have the breasts of the
birds down, and the back slightly pressed into the salad. In between each
bird put a pretty bunch of curly parsley, and garnish the top of the mound
with Spanish peppers cut into strips. Serve one to each person.</p>

<h2> SALADS </h2>
<p>Salads play a most important part in all conventional suppers. Chicken,
lobster, crab, duck, tongue, and lamb salad take the place of other meats,
although for a large supper there is no objection to serving a meat salad
following a hot course. If one can make a good mayonnaise dressing, salads
are the easiest of all refreshments, and are most acceptable to the
guests.</p>
<h3> MAYONNAISE </h3>
<p>Put the yolks of three eggs in a clean cold dish, beat slightly and add
slowly, almost drop by drop, a half pint or more of salad oil. After
adding the first half pint, add a half teaspoonful of vinegar now and then
to prevent breaking. You may add a quart of oil, if you like; you may
serve it plain, or stir in at the last moment stiffly whipped cream. One
quart of mayonnaise will hold one quart of whipped cream. For light
colored salads, as sweetbread and Waldorf, it is well to use the whipped
cream slightly colored with a drop of vegetable green.</p>
<h3> SAUCE TARTAR </h3>
<p>Add to a half pint of mayonnaise dressing a tablespoonful of chopped
gherkin, the same of chopped parsley, four chopped olives and a
tablespoonful of capers.</p>
<h3> SAUCE SUEDOISE </h3>
<p>1/2 pint of mayonnaise<br/>
1/2 pint of cream<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of finely grated horseradish<br/></p>
<p>Whip the cream and drain it, then stir it carefully into the mayonnaise,
and at last add the horseradish. This sauce is appropriate to serve with
boned partridges or quail, and is also nice to serve with mixed cold
meats.</p>
<h3> FRENCH DRESSING </h3>
<p>Put eight tablespoonfuls of oil in a bowl, add a half teaspoonful of salt,
and a piece of ice the size of an egg. Work the ice with the oil until the
salt is thoroughly dissolved, then add a tablespoonful of tarragon vinegar
and a drop of Tabasco sauce. Remove the ice, beat rapidly until you have a
creamy dressing, and use at once. French dressing should be used over
cucumber or tomato molds, and is nice with fish or chicken mousse and East
Indian Salad.</p>
<h3> CUCUMBER MOLDS </h3>
<p>2 good sized cucumbers<br/>
1/2 box of gelatin<br/>
1 pint of chicken stock<br/>
1 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 tablespoonful of onion juice<br/>
1 saltspoonful of pepper<br/>
The juice of one lemon<br/></p>
<p>Peel and grate the cucumbers. Add the gelatin to the stock, soak for
twenty minutes, bring to a boil and add the seasoning; then stir in the
drained cucumber. Turn into small round timbale cups and stand aside to
harden. Serve with any cold fish dish, as cold boiled slice of halibut, or
fish in aspic. These are nice for Sunday night supper with broiled
sardines.</p>
<h3> TOMATO MOLDS </h3>
<p>1 can of tomatoes<br/>
1 box of gelatin<br/>
1 onion<br/>
1 saltspoonful of celery seed<br/>
1 bay leaf<br/>
1 blade of mace<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of tarragon vinegar<br/>
1 teaspoonful of paprika<br/>
2 teaspoonfuls of salt<br/></p>
<p>Cover the gelatin with a cupful of cold water to soak for fifteen minutes.
Add all the seasoning to the tomatoes, bring to boiling point, add the
gelatin, and strain. Turn into twelve small tomato molds and stand aside
to harden. Serve with mayonnaise dressing as an accompaniment to boned
chicken or turkey, or chicken paté, or alone, with mayonnaise, as a
complete salad. Chopped celery, a little cold cooked meat or nuts may be
added, when the molds are to be served as a salad. With this addition, one
half the recipe will serve twelve persons.</p>
<h3> CRABS RAVIGOT </h3>
<p>Purchase as many crab shells as you have people to serve. To each six
allow a pint of crab flakes. If you buy the crabs fresh, twelve crabs will
serve six people. Squeeze over the flakes the juice of one lemon, add a
half teaspoonful of salt and a dash of Tabasco. Fill the meat loosely into
the shells, place each shell on a pretty paper doily on a plate, and
spread over a thick layer of mayonnaise dressing, with which you have
mixed a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a tablespoonful of tarragon
leaves, a tablespoonful of chopped onion or shallot, and a tablespoonful
of green chives.</p>
<h3> CHICKEN SALAD </h3>
<p>Cut cold boiled chicken into dice, add an equal quantity of tender celery,
season with salt, pepper and lemon juice, mix with mayonnaise dressing,
and serve on lettuce leaves.</p>
<p>A four pound chicken, and six heads of tender celery, three heads of
lettuce, a half pint of whipped cream, and one pint of mayonnaise, will
serve fifteen persons.</p>
<h3> LOBSTER SALAD </h3>
<p>Cut cold boiled lobster into cubes of an inch, mix with mayonnaise
dressing and serve on lettuce leaves.</p>
<p>One three-pound lobster will serve six persons.</p>
<h3> CRAB SALAD </h3>
<p>Season crab flakes with salt, pepper and lemon juice, mix them with
mayonnaise dressing, and serve on lettuce leaves, garnished with cress.</p>
<p>One pint of flakes will serve six persons.</p>
<h3> TONGUE SALAD </h3>
<p>Cut fresh-cooked beef's tongue or calf's tongue into dice. Have ready
peeled perfectly round smooth tomatoes, take out the core and scoop out
the seeds. Fill each tomato with the cubes of tongue, sprinkle over a
teaspoonful of lemon juice and a little salt and pepper. Stand these on
nests of lettuce leaves, put on top of each a large tablespoonful of
mayonnaise. Dust thickly with paprika and serve one to each person.</p>
<h3> LAMB SALAD </h3>
<p>Cut cold boiled lamb into dice, mix with it half the quantity of freshly
cooked green peas or canned peas. Add a half can of mushrooms, chopped
fine, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Mix with mayonnaise dressing and serve
on lettuce leaves, garnished with large sprigs of mint. Cap the top of the
dish with a good sized sprig of fresh mint, and sprinkle capers all over
the salad.</p>
<p>A nice plain lamb salad is made by mixing left-over cold lamb with
mayonnaise; serve on lettuce leaves and garnish with chopped mint.</p>
<p>A quart will serve ten persons.</p>
<h3> TOMATOES EN SURPRISE </h3>
<p>This is one of the nicest of the salads for a simple card party. It takes
the place of both vegetables and meat, and with brown bread and nut
sandwiches as an accompaniment, is very attractive. Peel the tomatoes, cut
off the stem end and scoop out the core and seeds. Fill the tomatoes with
either crab flakes, chopped lobster, canned salmon, or sardines. Squeeze
over a little lemon juice, and dust with salt and pepper. Turn them upside
down on a nest of lettuce leaves, and cover the tomato with creamy
mayonnaise.</p>
<h3> SWEETBREAD SALAD </h3>
<p>2 pairs of sweetbreads<br/>
4 ounces of almonds<br/>
4 ounces of pecan meats<br/>
2 ounces of shelled Brazilian nuts<br/>
2 Spanish peppers<br/>
1/2 can of mushrooms<br/>
2 heads of celery<br/>
2 heads of lettuce<br/>
1 pint of mayonnaise<br/>
1 pint of cream<br/>
1 can of French peas<br/></p>
<p>This is the most elaborate of all salads, is palatable and comparatively
wholesome. Put the sweetbreads into boiling water, add a tablespoonful of
vinegar, and simmer gently for one hour. When cold, remove the membrane
and pick the sweetbreads apart. Put them in a bowl, cover them with an
onion, sliced, and squeeze over the juice of a lemon; cover the bowl and
stand it aside over night. Blanch and chop the almonds, and chop the
pecans. Remove the onion from the sweetbreads, mix in the nuts, add the
white portions of the celery, cut the size of the sweetbreads. Add the
mushrooms, sliced, two teaspoonfuls of salt, a saltspoonful of white
pepper and a saltspoonful of paprika. Add the cream, whipped, to the
mayonnaise, and mix a portion of it with the sweetbreads and celery. Have
a round shallow salad bowl lined with the lettuce leaves, turn in the
centre the sweetbread salad and cover it over with the remaining quantity
of mayonnaise. Put the peas in a ring around the base of the salad, and
cap the top with the yolk of a hard-boiled egg. Cut the white of the egg
into eighths and press them upside down around the yolk, forming a sort of
a daisy. Cut the Spanish peppers into rings and arrange them just above
the peas. Put here and there around the base, above the peas, ripe or
green olives, and send to the table.</p>
<p>This will serve at supper or luncheon ten persons.</p>
<h3> ROAST BEEF SALAD </h3>
<p>For impromptu evening affairs any cold left-over meat may be utilized in a
salad. Beef, mutton and tongue are usually served with French dressing,
seasoned with tomato catsup. Cut the meat into dice, season with salt and
pepper, dish them on lettuce, or they may be mixed in the winter with
chopped celery or chopped crisp cabbage, and basted with French dressing,
seasoned with two or three tablespoonfuls of tomato catsup for beef, mint
sauce, or a drop of Tabasco Sauce for mutton, a little Worcestershire
Sauce for tongue.</p>
<p>A quart will serve ten persons.</p>
<h3> EAST INDIAN SALAD </h3>
<p>This is purely a vegetable salad; it is exceedingly nice for a simple
evening affair. Shave sufficient cabbage to make a pint, soak it in cold
water for one hour, changing the water once or twice. Cover a half box of
gelatin with a half cupful of cold water to soak for a half hour. Put a
half can of tomatoes in a saucepan, add one onion, chopped, a teaspoonful
of salt, a saltspoonful of pepper and the juice of a lemon, or two
tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Bring to boiling point, and add the gelatin.
Cover the bottom of a large melon mold with finely chopped celery or
cooked carrots, put on top of this a few drops of onion juice, then a thin
layer of cabbage, a dusting of salt and pepper, then a goodly quantity of
India relish; cover this over with chopped nuts, pecans, hickory or
peanuts, then another layer of celery, and so continue until the mold is
full, seasoning the layers with salt and pepper. Have the last layer
chopped celery. Strain over this the tomato aspic, which should be cold,
but not thick, and stand aside for four or five hours. Serve plain, or
garnished with lettuce leaves or cress.</p>
<p>This will serve twelve persons.</p>
<h3> POTATO SALAD </h3>
<p>Fancy potato salad may be served for an evening affair with an
accompaniment of cold tongue, or it may be garnished with hard-boiled eggs
and form the entire course. Serve with it brown bread and butter and
coffee.</p>
<p>4 potatoes<br/>
8 tablespoonfuls of olive oil<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of cream<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of tarragon vinegar<br/>
1 level teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 saltspoonful of pepper<br/></p>
<p>Wash the potatoes and boil them with skins on. The moment they are done,
drain the water, dry and peel. Put the oil, salt, pepper and vinegar in a
bowl, beat rapidly until thoroughly mixed, and then add one good sized
onion, sliced very thin, or use two tablespoonfuls of grated onion. Put in
the hot potatoes, sliced, toss them a moment, and if you have it, sprinkle
over two tablespoonfuls of vinegar from pickled walnuts, or a
tablespoonful of mushroom catsup. Stand aside to cool. When ready to
serve, turn on to a cold platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and, if
you have them, chopped pickled beets.</p>
<p>This is sufficient for six persons.</p>
<h3> FRENCH POTATO SALAD </h3>
<p>Moisten a teaspoonful of cornstarch in four tablespoonfuls of milk, add
two tablespoonfuls of cream and stir over hot water until thick; then add
gradually six tablespoonfuls of olive oil, a teaspoonful of French made
mustard, a level teaspoonful of salt and a saltspoonful of pepper. Boil
four potatoes, cut them into blocks, and, when nearly cold, mix them with
this dressing, and stand aside until very cold. Serve with a garnish of
chopped celery or lettuce leaves.</p>
<p>This will serve six persons.</p>
<h3> MACEDOINE SALAD </h3>
<p>A mixture of vegetables, peas, beans, carrots, turnips, can be purchased,
canned, at any grocery store. Drain, wash them in cold water, dish them on
a bed of shaved cabbage or lettuce leaves, and cover them with French
dressing. All these vegetables may be cooked at home and used cold. String
beans garnished with carrots make an excellent salad.</p>
<h3> BANANA SALAD </h3>
<p>For this use the red bananas. Roll them out of the skin rather than strip
the skin from them, and cut them into slices a half inch thick. Cover the
bottom of your salad bowl with crisp lettuce leaves, then put over the
bananas, allowing one banana to each two persons. Squeeze over the juice
of a lemon, and, when ready to serve, baste with French dressing.</p>
<h3> APPLE AND NUT SALAD </h3>
<p>4 tart apples<br/>
1 cupful of pecan meats<br/>
24 blanched almonds<br/>
2 sweet Spanish peppers<br/>
The rule for French dressing<br/></p>
<p>Peel the apples, cut them into dice, squeeze over the juice of one or two
lemons, and stand them aside until wanted. The lemon juice will prevent
discoloration. Chop the nuts. At serving time line the salad bowl with a
layer of chopped celery or cabbage or lettuce leaves, then a layer of
apples, nuts, celery, apples and nuts. Baste with the French dressing,
and, if you have them, garnish with the sweet peppers cut into strips, and
use at once.</p>
<p>This, using a pint of chopped cabbage or celery, will serve six persons.</p>
<h3> CANTALOUPE SALAD </h3>
<p>This is the newest and most sightly of salads. Arrange crisp lettuce or
Romaine leaves on individual plates. Cut a cold ripe cantaloupe into
halves, take out the seeds, and with a large vegetable scoop or teaspoon
scoop out balls or egg-shaped pieces. Heap a half dozen of these on the
lettuce leaves, and, at serving time, baste them well with French
dressing, and serve. Watermelon may be substituted for cantaloupe.</p>

<h2> SANDWICHES </h2>
<p>Sandwiches may be made from thin white bread, or whole wheat bread, or
Boston brown bread, or nut bread. A nut loaf is easily made at short
notice, and needs only butter to make an excellent sandwich. An endless
variety of sandwiches may be made from materials always at hand.</p>
<p>For CHEESE SANDWICHES: Grind or mash common American cheese, add a
palatable seasoning of tomato catsup, Worcestershire sauce, and a little
melted butter. A teaspoonful of these will be sufficient for a quarter of
a pound of cheese. Put this between thin slices of unbuttered bread. If a
large quantity of sandwiches is to be made, beat the butter to a cream
before using it.</p>
<p>MEATS: All sorts of meats, just a little left over, may be chopped,
seasoned and utilized for sandwiches. If the meat is slightly moistened
with a little olive oil, cream or melted butter, and the sandwiches are
wrapped in a damp cloth, as soon as made, and closed in a tin bread box,
they will keep nicely for several hours.</p>
<p>On a warm day put a few moist lettuce leaves on top of the sandwiches,
under the cloth, and put the box in a cold place.</p>
<p>CANNED SALMON, SARDINES, or BOILED SALT COD, pounded and nicely seasoned
with oil and lemon juice, or mayonnaise, make nice sandwiches to serve
with molded tomato jelly, and coffee, for a "winter evening." They are
quite enough with coffee alone in an emergency.</p>
<p>NUT SANDWICHES are made by putting chopped nuts or nut butter between thin
slices of buttered bread, or crackers.</p>
<p>SWEET SANDWICHES are made by putting a mixture of chopped fruits between
thin slices of buttered bread. The fruits best suited for sandwiches are
dates, raisins, candied ginger and cherries, and washed figs. These may be
used separately or blended, using less ginger than other fruits. A nice
filling may be made from a half pound of dates, an ounce of ginger, and
ten cents' worth of roasted peanuts, or a quarter of a pound of pecans.
Put these through a meat chopper, add the juice of an orange, and pack the
mixture in jelly tumblers. Keep in a cold place. This will keep a month in
winter, and equally long in a refrigerator in summer.</p>
<p>Sweet sandwiches are usually cut into "fingers," or into rounds with an
ordinary biscuit cutter.</p>
<p>HONOLULU SANDWICHES are made by rubbing one roll of Neufchatel cheese with
a half cupful of grated apple, two sweet Spanish peppers, and twenty-four
blanched and chopped almonds. Add salt and a drop of Tabasco sauce. Spread
between thin slices of unbuttered bread.</p>
<p>JELLY OR CANNED FRUIT SANDWICHES are made by spreading jelly or mashed
fruit, drained, on a very thin slice of buttered bread. Trim off the
crusts and roll quickly. Tie with baby ribbon, or press it firmly
together. These are usually served with chocolate or tea.</p>
<p>CHICKEN SALAD OR CELERY MAYONNAISE SANDWICHES are usually served with
coffee, and can be made quickly by mixing any left-over chicken, or tender
white celery, with mayonnaise, and putting the mixture between thin slices
of buttered bread. A lettuce leaf on the bread first holds the salad
nicely. One may use two lettuce leaves if necessary.</p>
<h3> NUT BREAD </h3>
<p>2 cupfuls of flour<br/>
1/2 cupful of chopped nuts<br/>
2 teaspoonfuls of baking powder<br/>
1 cupful of milk<br/>
1 egg<br/>
2 tablespoonfuls of sugar<br/>
1/2 teaspoonful of salt<br/></p>
<p>Sift the salt, baking powder and flour together, add and mix in the nuts
and sugar. Beat the egg, add the milk, and stir these in the flour. Mix
well, and turn it in a greased bread pan. Cover, and allow it to stand
fifteen minutes. Bake in a moderately quick oven a half hour. Pecans,
hickory nuts, peanuts, or English walnuts may be used.</p>
<p>Use the next day after it is baked. Cut thin, butter lightly, and press
two slices together. Serve whole, or cut into halves. Do not remove the
crusts.</p>

<h2> SUGGESTIONS FOR CHURCH SUPPERS </h2>
<h3> NUT MEAT ROLL </h3>
<p>1 pound of chopped beef<br/>
1 quart of roasted peanuts in shells<br/>
1 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1 saltspoonful of pepper<br/>
3 shredded wheat biscuits<br/>
2 eggs<br/>
1 tablespoonful onion juice<br/>
1 tablespoonful of parsley<br/></p>
<p>Shell and chop the peanuts, mix them with the meat, and add the shredded
wheat rubbed fine; salt, pepper, parsley, chopped, and onion juice. Mix
well. Beat the egg slightly, add three tablespoonfuls of water, and mix
this into the meat. Form in a roll about eight inches long, roll in oiled
paper, place it in a baking pan, add a half cupful of water to the pan and
bake in a moderate oven three-quarters of an hour. Remove the paper and
stand aside to cool. Serve in thin slices with either tomato or potato
salad.</p>
<p>This will serve eight persons at a cost of about four cents each.</p>
<h3> JELLIED VEAL </h3>
<p>3 knuckles of veal<br/>
4 onions<br/>
1 carrot<br/>
3 teaspoonfuls of salt<br/>
8 tablespoonfuls of vinegar<br/>
6 gherkins<br/>
1 teaspoonful of black pepper<br/></p>
<p>Wash the knuckles, remove the meat and cut it in pieces. Put the bones in
a kettle, the meat on top, and pour over six quarts of cold water. Bring
to a boil, skim, and simmer gently two hours. Add the onion sliced, the
carrot chopped, salt and pepper, and simmer one hour longer. Drain in a
colander. Dip long molds, or ordinary bread pans, in cold water, cover the
bottom with slices of hard boiled eggs, put the meat in bits on top of
this, seasoning it with a little salt. Slice the gherkins and put them in
layers between the meat. Strain the liquid, add the vinegar, and pour it
over the meat. There should be just enough to cover it nicely. If there is
more than this, boil it down before adding vinegar. Stand aside over
night. When cold, dip the mold a second in boiling water, and turn the
jelly in a platter. Serve cut in slices, with either a nice cold slaw, or
cabbage and celery salad. Jellied beef is made the same, substituting a
leg or shin of beef.</p>
<p>This will cost about seventy five cents, and will make twenty-five to
thirty slices.</p>
<h3> BAGGED VEAL </h3>
<p>2 pounds of lean ham<br/>
4 pounds of veal cutlet<br/>
3 shredded wheat biscuits<br/>
2 eggs<br/>
2 onions<br/>
1 teaspoonful of powdered sage<br/>
1/2 teaspoonful of allspice<br/>
1 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1/2 teaspoonful of black pepper<br/></p>
<p>Put the meat, raw, through a meat chopper, add the biscuits crumbed, the
onions grated, and all the seasonings. Work it well with the hands, and
mix in the eggs, slightly beaten. Pack the mixture in clean salt bags or
bags about that size, plunge them in a kettle of boiling water, boil
rapidly ten minutes, and simmer three hours. When cool, turn the bags
wrong side out off the meat. Serve sliced like summer sausage.</p>
<p>This will cost one and a half dollars, and will serve twenty five persons.</p>
<h3> A SPANISH STEW FOR ONE HUNDRED PERSONS </h3>
<p>25 pounds of round of beef<br/>
6 sweet peppers, or<br/>
1 can of Spanish pimentos<br/>
12 sweet turnips<br/>
1/2 bottle of Worcestershire sauce<br/>
1 cupful of flour<br/>
1 pound of suet<br/>
10 large onions<br/>
3 gallon cans of peas<br/>
12 carrots<br/>
1 jar of beef extract<br/>
4 tablespoonfuls of salt<br/>
4 tablespoonfuls of cornstarch<br/>
1/4 pound of butter<br/></p>
<p>Put the suet into a large kettle or in two smaller ones; try it out and
remove the crackling. Add to the hot fat the onions and peppers chopped
fine. Shake until they are well cooked and slightly browned. Add the meat
cut into cubes of one inch, cover the kettles and cook a half hour,
stirring now and then. Dissolve the beef extract in three gallons of hot
water, pour it over the meat, and simmer for two hours. Add the carrots
and turnips cut into dice, and more water if necessary, and cook one hour
longer. Add the flour and cornstarch moistened in cold water, and all the
seasonings. Stir and boil ten minutes, add the peas, drained, and serve.
This is nice garnished with small hot milk biscuits. Taste before serving
it, to see if you have added sufficient salt.</p>
<h3> VEAL ROLL </h3>
<p>4 pounds of lean veal<br/>
3 shredded wheat biscuits<br/>
1 teaspoonful of salt<br/>
1/2 teaspoonful of sage<br/>
1/2 pound of lean ham<br/>
2 eggs<br/>
1 tablespoonful of parsley<br/>
1 saltspoonful of pepper<br/></p>
<p>Put the veal and ham through a meat chopper, add all the seasonings, and
the biscuits rubbed fine. Mix thoroughly, add the egg slightly beaten, mix
again, and form into a roll three inches in diameter. Roll in oiled paper,
place in a baking pan, cover the bottom of the pan with hot water, add a
slice of onion, and, if you have it, a little chopped celery tops. Bake
slowly one and a half hours, basting over the paper every fifteen minutes.
When done, remove the paper, and put in a cold place. Serve in thin slices
with tomato jelly salad.</p>
<p>This will cost about one dollar and will serve eighteen persons.</p>
<h3> MAN-OF-WAR SALAD </h3>
<p>For twenty-five persons, chop sufficient hard white cabbage to make two
quarts. Cover it with cold water, let it soak for an hour, and then wash
it through several cold waters, and dry it in a towel. Cover three boxes
of gelatin with a pint of cold water to soak a half hour. Open three cans
of tomatoes, put them in a saucepan with four chopped onions, a cupful of
chopped celery tops, if you have them, bring to a boil, add the juice of a
lemon, a level tablespoonful of salt, ten drops of Tabasco sauce, the
juice of a lemon, or two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, and the gelatin. Stir
a moment, and press through a sieve. Dip bread pans or melon molds in cold
water, put in a layer of cabbage, then a very thin layer of Indian relish,
then cabbage, and so continue until the molds are filled. Pour over the
tomato jelly, cold, and stand aside over night. Serve in slices with
cooked or French dressing.</p>
<h3> COOKED DRESSING </h3>
<p>Put a pint of milk over the fire in a double boiler, add three level
tablespoonfuls of cornstarch moistened in a little cold milk. Cook until
thick and smooth. Take from the fire, add the beaten yolks of four eggs,
and work in slowly two tablespoonfuls of butter. Add a teaspoonful of salt
and a saltspoonful of pepper. When cool add the juice of a lemon or four
tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Fold in carefully the well-beaten whites of the
eggs, and stand aside until very cold.</p>
<h3> GRANDMOTHER'S POTATO SALAD </h3>
<p>Boil ten large potatoes in their jackets. Peel them and, when cool, cut
eight into dice. Peel and mash the remaining two while hot; add to them a
quarter pound of sweet butter, four tablespoonfuls of grated onion, two
teaspoonfuls of salt, a dash of cayenne, two drops of Tabasco sauce, and
press through a fine sieve. Hard boil two eggs; rub the yolks to a paste,
and add two raw yolks. When smooth, add to these gradually the potato
mixture. Thin to the consistency of good mayonnaise, with vinegar. At
serving time mix the potato blocks and one can of drained peas with the
dressing, being very careful not to break them. Dish on lettuce leaves,
and garnish with chopped red beets, or, better, chopped celery. This is an
excellent cheap salad, and will serve fifteen persons.</p>
<h3> SALMON PUDDING </h3>
<p>Remove the bone, skin and oil from two pound cans of salmon. Boil together
two cupfuls of white bread crumbs and one cupful of milk. Take from the
fire, and add one cupful of boiled rice, a teaspoonful of salt, a
saltspoonful of pepper, a teaspoonful of onion juice, and four eggs
slightly beaten. Mix and work in the fish. Press the whole through a
colander, and pack it at once into a mold. Cover and steam three-quarters
of an hour. Serve hot with cream sauce. This will serve twelve persons.</p>
<h3> NUT CAKE </h3>
<p>At suppers where the yolks of eggs are used for mayonnaise or cooked
dressing, the whites accumulate and are lost if not used in some white
cake.</p>
<p>1/2 cupful of butter<br/>
2 cupfuls of flour<br/>
1-1/2 cupfuls of sugar<br/>
3/4 cupful of water<br/>
1 cupful of English walnut or hickory nut meats<br/>
2 rounding teaspoonfuls of baking powder<br/>
Whites of four eggs<br/></p>
<p>Cream the butter, add the water and flour, alternately, beating all the
while. Beat the whites, add half of them to the mixture, then all the
nuts, chopped, then the baking powder, dry, and beat well. Fold in the
remaining whites. Bake in a round cake pan in a moderate oven
three-quarters of an hour. When cool, ice the top and decorate it with nut
meats.</p>
<h3> SCONES FOR TWENTY-FIVE PERSONS </h3>
<p>Sift three quarts of flour with six rounding teaspoonfuls of baking powder
and two of salt. Beat, without separating, three eggs. Rub into the flour
a quarter of a pound of butter, or three tablespoonfuls of snowdrift. Add
to the eggs one quart and a half of milk, and stir this into the flour.
Mix quickly and drop by spoonfuls in greased baking pans, and bake fifteen
minutes in a quick oven. Serve at once. These are better and more easily
made than biscuits.</p>
<h3> POOR MAN'S FRUIT CAKE </h3>
<p>3-1/2 cupfuls of flour<br/>
1 cupful of brown sugar<br/>
1/2 cupful of New Orleans molasses<br/>
1 pound of seeded raisins<br/>
1 cupful of sour milk<br/>
1/2 cupful of butter<br/>
1 teaspoonful of cinnamon<br/>
1 teaspoonful of allspice<br/>
1 teaspoonful of soda<br/></p>
<p>Cut the raisins into halves and flour them with four tablespoonfuls of the
flour. Dissolve the soda in a tablespoonful of water, add it to the thick
sour milk, beat a minute, add the molasses, beat again, add the butter,
melted carefully, and stir in the flour; add the spices, and beat well.
Stir in the raisins, and turn into a greased bread pan. Bake in a <i>moderate</i>
oven one hour. When done, turn from the pan, baste with a syrup, made by
boiling four tablespoonfuls of sugar with three of water, and add two
teaspoonfuls of currant or grape jelly. Shut the cake in a tin box for a
week or more. If made well this is moist and rich at very little cost.</p>
<h3> BANANA LAYER </h3>
<p>1/4 cupful of butter<br/>
1 cupful of sugar<br/>
2/3 cupful of water<br/>
2 cupfuls of flour<br/>
2 rounding teaspoonfuls of baking powder<br/>
Whites of four eggs<br/></p>
<p>Put together the same as Ice Cream Cake, and bake in three layers. When
cold, put together with Banana Filling.</p>
<h3> BANANA FILLING </h3>
<p>Boil together one cupful of sugar and a half cupful of water until they
spin a heavy thread, and pour slowly, beating all the while, into the
well-beaten whites of two eggs. Beat until rather stiff and cold. When the
cakes are cold, spread one-third of this filling over one cake, cover with
thin slices of red bananas, put on another cake, on this another third of
filling and bananas, and the remaining cake; cover this with the remaining
filling, and dust thickly with chopped nuts. Do not let this stand too
long, or the filling will absorb moisture from the bananas and run down
the cake.</p>
<h3> ICE CREAM CAKE </h3>
<p>1-1/2 cupfuls of sugar<br/>
2-1/2 cupfuls of flour<br/>
1/4 cupful of butter<br/>
1 cupful of water<br/>
2 rounding teaspoonfuls of baking powder<br/>
Whites of five eggs<br/></p>
<p>Cream the butter, adding slowly the sugar. Sift the flour with the baking
powder. Add the water and flour alternately to the sugar mixture, and beat
well. Fold in the well-beaten whites, and bake in three layers. Put
together with a soft icing made from the whites of two eggs.</p>
<h3> FRUIT JELLY </h3>
<p>Dip a fancy mold into cold water, fill it half full of mixed chopped
candied fruits, or use dates, figs and bananas chopped. Fill the mold with
a well-made lemon or orange gelatin. Serve plain, or with whipped cream.</p>
<h3> MOCK EGGS </h3>
<p>1/2 box of gelatin<br/>
1 can pared apricots<br/>
1 cupful of sugar<br/>
1 pint of water<br/>
Whites of three eggs<br/>
Juice of three lemons<br/></p>
<p>Cover the gelatin with a half cupful of cold water to soak for a half
hour, add the sugar and the water boiling; stir until the gelatin is
dissolved; add the lemon juice, strain, and cool until congealed but not
too hard. Add the unbeaten whites of eggs, stand the bowl in a pan of
cracked ice or cold water, and beat until the whole mass is as white as
snow. Pour into ramekin dishes or paper cases, press a half apricot,
rounding side up, in the centre, and stand aside in a cold place.</p>
