JANUARY.

1.—Stewed Breast of Lamb.

Cut a breast of lamb into small pieces, season, and stew until tender in enough gravy to cover the meat. Thicken the sauce, flavor with a wine-glass of wine, pile in the centre of a platter and garnish with green peas.

2.—Chicken Creams.

Chop and pound ½ a lb. of chicken and 3 ozs. of ham; pass this through a sieve, add 1 oz. of melted butter, 2 well-beaten eggs, and ½ a pint of cream, which must be whipped; season with pepper and salt. Mix all lightly together, put into oiled moulds and steam fifteen minutes, or if in one large mould half an hour.

3.—Herring's Roes on Toast.

Have rounds of toast buttered and seasoned with salt and pepper, on each piece place ½ the soft roe of a herring which has been slightly fried and on the top of this a fried mushroom. Serve very hot.

4.—French Omelet.

For a very small omelet beat 2 whole eggs and the yokes of two more until a full spoonful can be taken up. Add 3 tablespoonfuls of water, ¼ of a teaspoonful of salt, and a dash of pepper, and when well mixed turn into a hot omelet pan, in which a tablespoonful of butter has been melted, lift the edges up carefully and let the uncooked part run under. When all is cooked garnish with parsley.

5.—Cheese Ramequins.

Melt 1 oz. of butter, mix with ½ oz. of flour, add ¼ of a pint of milk, stir and cook well. Then beat in the yolks of two eggs, sprinkle in 3 ozs. of grated cheese, add the well-beaten whites of three eggs. Mix in lightly and put in cases. Bake a quarter of an hour.

6.—Scotch Collops.

Cut cold roast veal into thin slices, and dust over them a little mace, nutmeg, cayenne, and salt, and fry them in a little butter. Lay on a dish and make a gravy by adding 1 tablespoonful of flour, ¼ of a pint of water, 1 teaspoonful of anchovy sauce, 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice, ¼ of a teaspoonful of lemon peel, 3 tablespoonfuls of cream, and 1 of sherry. Let boil up once and pour over the meat. Garnish with lemon and parsley.

7.—Orange Salad.

Slice 3 sweet oranges, after removing the skin and pith, make a dressing with 3 tablespoonfuls of olive oil, a tablespoonful of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Serve on lettuce leaves.

8.—Oyster Potpie.

Scald one quart of oysters in their own liquor. When boiling take out the oysters and keep them hot. Stir together a tablespoonful of butter and two of flour, and moisten with cold milk. Add two small cups of boiling water to the oyster liquor, season with salt and pepper, and stir in the flour mixture, and let it cook until it thickens like cream. Make a light biscuit dough and cut out with a thimble. Drop these into the boiling mixture, cover the saucepan and cook until the dough is done. Put the oysters on a hot dish and pour biscuit balls and sauce over them.

9.—Chicken Cutlets.

Chop cold chicken fine; season with onion-juice, celery salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. For 2 cupfuls allow a cupful of cream or rich milk. Heat this (with a bit of soda stirred in) in a saucepan, and thicken with a tablespoonful of butter rubbed in, one of corn-starch, stirred in when the cream is scalding. Cook one minute, put in the seasoned chicken, and cook until smoking hot. Beat two eggs light; take the boiling mixture from the fire and add gradually to these. Pour into a broad dish or agate-iron pan and set in a cold place until perfectly chilled and stiff. Shape with your hands, or with a cutter, into the form of cutlets or chops. Dip in egg, then in cracker-crumbs. Set on the ice an hour or two and fry in deep boiling fat. Send around white sauce with them.—From "The National Cook Book," by Marion Harland and Christine Terhune Herrick.

10.—Cocoanut Ice Cream.

Put 1 pint of milk over the fire in a double boiler with the grated yellow rind of a lemon and three well-beaten eggs. Stir until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from the fire; add a cup and a half of sugar, and 1 qt. of cream. Then add a grated cocoanut. Stir until the custard is cold, add the lemon juice and freeze.

11.—Loaf Corn Bread.

Mix together 2 cupfuls of corn-meal, 1 cupful of flour, 1 teaspoonful of salt, and 2 of baking powder. Beat together 3 eggs until thick and light. Add 2½ cupfuls of milk and stir into the dry mixture, adding 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar, and 2 tablespoonfuls of melted butter, and beating well until the batter is smooth. Grease the pans well, or it will stick. Have the batter a little more than 2 inches deep in the pans and bake in a hot oven for about half an hour.—"Table Talk," Phila.

12.—Beef Ragout.

Cut cold roast beef into large slices. Put it into a saucepan with 2 slices of onion, salt and pepper. Pour over it ½ a pt. of boiling water and add 3 tablespoonfuls of soup stock. Stew gently until cooked.

13.—Curried Rice.

Boil 1 cup of rice rapidly for half an hour, drain in a colander and stand in the oven for a few minutes to dry out the rice. Put 2 tablespoonfuls of butter and a slice of onion into a saucepan. Stir until the onion is a golden brown, add a tablespoonful of flour. (Take out the slice of onion.) Stir until smooth, then add a teaspoonful of curry powder, bring to a boil, add salt. Pour over the rice and serve hot.

14.—Tapioca Soup.

One qt. of veal or chicken broth, 1 pt. of cream or milk, 1 onion, a little celery, 1/3 of a cupful of tapioca, 2 cupfuls of cold water, 1 tablespoonful of butter, a small piece of mace, salt and pepper. Wash and soak the tapioca over night. Cook it in the broth for an hour. Cook milk, onion, mace and celery together for 15 minutes, then strain into the tapioca and broth; add the butter, salt and pepper.

15.—Haddock Roes and Bacon.

Haddock roes are much cheaper than shad roes, and are very nice prepared in this way. Soak for an hour in water and lemon juice, then parboil in salt and water for ten minutes. Fry brown in a little lard and butter mixed. Fry the bacon in a separate pan until brown, remove from the pan and put it in the oven for a few minutes to crisp it. Put the roes in the centre of a hot platter and garnish the bacon around it.

16.—Rice Moulds.

Wash a teacupful of rice in several waters, put it into a saucepan and just cover with cold water, and when it boils, add two cupfuls of milk, and boil until it becomes dry; put it into a mould and press it well. When cold serve with a garnish of preserves around it or with a boiled custard.

17.—English Muffins.

Scald 1 pt. of milk and add 1 oz. of butter and let cool; when cool add ¼ of a yeast cake, a teaspoonful of salt and three cups of flour, beat well, cover and let rise about two hours. When light, add sufficient flour to make a soft dough; work lightly and divide into small balls; put each one into a well-greased muffin ring and let rise again. Then bake on a hot griddle. When ready to eat tear them open and butter.

18.—Minced Veal and Macaroni.

Mince ¾ of a lb. of cold veal and 3 ozs. of ham, wet with 1 tablespoonful of gravy. Season with salt and pepper, a little nutmeg, a quarter of a lb. of bread crumbs and a well-beaten egg. Butter a mould and line it with some boiled macaroni. Mix more macaroni with the veal mixture, fill the mould, put a plate on it and steam for ½ an hour. Turn out carefully, pour a good brown gravy around it.

19.—Baked Beans and Tomato Salad.

Stir 3 tablespoonfuls of vinegar very gradually into 6 tablespoonfuls of oil and a dash of paprika. Add salt, if the beans have not been seasoned. The oil and vinegar will not unite perfectly. Pour gradually over a pint of cold baked beans such portions of the dressing as they will absorb, toss together and arrange on a serving dish. Make a border of sliced tomatoes around the beans and over these pour the rest of the dressing.—Janet Hill in "Boston Cooking School Magazine."

20.—Tomato Croquettes.

Stew together for 20 minutes ½ a can of tomatoes, 1 tablespoonful of chopped onion, 1 sprig of parsley, ½ a bay leaf, 4 cloves and enough salt and pepper to season highly. Rub through a sieve. In a clean saucepan melt together 2 tablespoonfuls of butter and 5 tablespoonfuls of flour. Add 2 cupfuls of the strained tomato and stir and cook for ten minutes. Take from the fire and set aside until cold. Flour the hands and carefully mould into small croquettes. Dip each into slightly beaten egg and roll in fine bread crumbs. Let stand for 20 minutes, then repeat the dipping and rolling in crumbs. Fry at once in very hot fat and drain on unglazed paper.—"Table Talk," Phila.

21.—Eggs on Rice.

Cover a platter an inch deep with hot well-boiled rice, to which has been added 1 tablespoonful of melted butter. On this serve six well-poached eggs. Garnish with parsley.

22.—Baked Celery.

Parboil a bunch of celery, using only the stalks; cut into two inch lengths, put them into a baking dish. Rub smooth 2 tablespoonfuls of butter and 2 of flour, then beat in the yolks of 3 eggs; stir this into 1 qt. of veal stock and pour it over the celery, cover with grated bread crumbs and dust the top with grated cheese.

23.—Stewed Steak and Oyster Sauce.

Wash 1 pt. of small oysters in a little water, drain into a saucepan and put this water on to heat. As soon as it comes to a boil skim and set back. Put 3 tablespoonfuls of butter into a frying pan and when hot, put in 2 lbs. of round steak; cook ten minutes. Take out the steak and sift 1 tablespoonful of flour into the butter, stir until browned. Add the oyster liquor and boil 1 minute, season; put back the steak, cover and simmer ½ an hour, then add the oysters and 1 tablespoonful lemon juice. Boil for 1 minute and serve.

24.—Barley Stew.

Cut ½ a lb. of cold meat into dice; wash ¼ of a cupful of barley, chop 2 onions very fine, put all into a saucepan and dredge with flour, season with salt and pepper. Add a qt. of water and simmer about 2 hours. Pare and slice 5 potatoes, add them to the stew and simmer an hour longer.

25.—Bread Omelet.

Beat 3 eggs separately. To the yolks add ½ a cup of milk, pinch of salt, pepper and ½ a cup of bread crumbs. Cut into this very carefully the well beaten whites; mix lightly. Put 1 tablespoonful of butter into a frying pan; and as soon as it is hot turn in the mixture. Set it over a good fire, being careful not to burn. When half done, set the pan in the oven for a few minutes to set the middle of the omelet. Turn onto a hot platter and serve.

26.—Calf's Liver Fried in Crumbs.

Wash and parboil slices of liver, then roll each piece, in crumbs, then in beaten egg, then in crumbs again. Fry in hot lard.

27.—Toad in a Hole.

Cut 1 pt. of meat into 1 inch pieces and put them into a greased baking dish. Beat 2 eggs very light, add to it 1 pint of milk and pour it gradually into 6 tablespoonfuls of flour, beating all the time. Strain, add salt and pepper and pour it over the meat. Bake an hour and serve at once.

28.—Shrimp Salad.

Shell 1 can of shrimps, arrange on lettuce leaves, serve with French dressing.

29.—Creamed Corn Beef.

Scald 1 pt. of milk with slice of onion and stalk of celery. Stir into this ¼ of a cup each of butter and flour creamed together, let cook 15 minutes, stirring until thickened and then occasionally add a dash of paprika and strain over 1 pt. of cold cooked corn beef, cut into cubes. Turn into a pudding dish and cover with half a cup of cracker crumbs, mixed with 3 tablespoonfuls of melted butter. Set into the oven to reheat and brown the crumbs.—Janet M. Hill in "Boston Cooking School Magazine."

30.—Potted Beef.

Take the outside slices left from boiled or braised beef, cut up into small pieces and pound it thoroughly with a little butter in a mortar; add salt, pepper and a little powdered mace. Mix thoroughly. Put it into jelly glasses, pour a coating of clarified butter over the top. Cover with paper until wanted.

31.—Carolina Philpes.

One gill of rice, boiled soft; when cold, rub it with a spoon. Moisten with water a gill of rice flour, and mix it with the rubbed rice. Beat 1 egg, very light, and stir in. Bake on a shallow tin plate, split and butter while hot.

FEBRUARY.

1.—Oyster Loaf.

Take a loaf of bread, cut off the crusts, dig out the centre, making a box of it, brush it all over with melted butter and put into the oven to brown. Fill with creamed oysters, cover the top with fried bread crumbs, put into the oven for a minute and serve. Garnish with parsley.

2.—Broiled Sweetbreads.

For these use veal sweetbreads. Wash and parboil them and cut in half lengthwise. When cold, season with salt and pepper, and pour over them a little melted butter. Broil over a clear fire about 5 minutes. Serve with melted butter and chopped parsley poured over them.

3.—Liver and Onions.

Take 1 lb. of liver, cover it with boiling water and let it stand for five minutes, then cut it into dice. Into a frying pan put 3 slices of fat bacon and fry.

5.—Kornlet Omelet.

Melt 1 tablespoonful of butter; cook in this 1 tablespoonful of flour, ¼ of a tablespoonful each of salt and pepper, then add gradually ½ a cup of kornlet. When the mixture boils, remove from the fire and stir in the yolks of three eggs beaten until thick, then fold in the whites of the eggs beaten dry. Turn into an omelet pan, in which two tablespoonfuls of butter have been melted. Spread evenly in the pan and let cook until "set" on the bottom, then put into the oven. When a knife cut down into the omelet comes out clean, score across the top at right angles to the handle of the pan. Fold and turn onto a heated dish.—Janet M. Hill, in "Boston Cooking School Magazine."

6.—Liver Rolls.

Have ½ a lb. of calf's liver cut in thin slices, parboil for 5 minutes, wipe each piece dry, lay a thin slice of bacon on each slice of liver, season with salt and pepper, roll up and fasten with a wooden toothpick, dredge with flour and fry until done in bacon fat or drippings. When done take out the rolls and thicken the gravy with a little brown flour. If there is not gravy enough add a little boiling water. A teaspoonful of mushroom catsup added to the gravy is an improvement or a squeeze of onion juice.

7.—A Box of Chestnuts.

Shell 1 qt. of chestnuts and cover with boiling water; leave them for fifteen minutes, then rub off the brown skins. Put them into a saucepan, cover them with soup stock and let them boil ½ an hour; when done, drain. Save the stock. Into a frying pan put 1 tablespoonful of butter and when melted add 1 of flour; cook until browned, then add the stock and stir until it boils; add salt and pepper to taste. Lay the chestnuts in a box made of fried bread and pour the sauce over.

To make the box, take a loaf of bread, cut off the crust and leave the sides as smooth as possible. Cut out the centre, leaving a box shaped piece. Fry this in deep fat.

8.—Curried Hare.

Clean and cut the hare or rabbit as for fricassee. Simmer slowly in just enough water to cover, add a thickening of 1 tablespoonful each of butter and flour, season with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoonful of curry powder.

9.—Scrambled Eggs with Shad Roes.

When you have shad for dinner scald the roes ten minutes in boiling water (salted), drain, throw into cold water, leave them there three minutes, wipe dry, and set in a cold place until you wish to use them. Cut them across into pieces an inch or more wide, roll them in flour, and fry to a fine brown. Scramble a dish of eggs, pile the roes in the centre of a heated platter, and dispose the eggs in a sort of hedge all around them.—From "The National Cook Book," by Marion Harland and Christine Terhune Herrick.

10.—Chicken in Celery Sauce.

Take the roots of a bunch of celery, clean and cut it into small pieces, put them into a saucepan and cover with cold water, about a pint, stew slowly and when tender put through a vegetable press. Into a saucepan put 1 tablespoonful each of flour and butter. When melted and rubbed smooth add ½ a cup of milk and the celery. Stir well and when it boils add salt and pepper. Have 1 pt. of cold chicken cut into dice, and add them to the boiling sauce when all is hot. Serve with toast points.

11.—Fig Ice Cream.

Put 3½ cupfuls of milk in a double boiler and as soon as it comes to a boil stir in two tablespoonfuls of corn-starch that has been mixed with ½ a cupful of cold milk. Cook for ten minutes. Beat together 3 eggs and a cup and a half of sugar. Pour the cooked corn-starch and milk on this, stirring all the time. Put back again on the fire, and add 1 tablespoonful of gelatine which has been dissolved in 4 tablespoonfuls of cold water. Cook three minutes. Set away to cool. When cold add 1 pt. of cream and 1 tablespoonful of vanilla and freeze. When the mixture has been freezing for ten minutes, take off the cover and add 2 cupfuls of chopped figs. Cover again and freeze hard.

12.—Souffle Biscuit.

Rub 4 ozs. of butter with a qt. of wheat flour, add a little salt. Make it into a paste with ½ a pt. of milk. Knead it well: roll it as thin as paper. Cut it out with a tumbler, and bake brown.

13.—Fish Chowder.

Continue until all has been used. Add 1 qt. of water, cover and let simmer 20 minutes without stirring. In a double boiler put 1 pt. of milk and break into it 6 water crackers; let it stand a few minutes then add to the chowder. Let it boil up once and serve. Use 3 lbs. of chopped fish and 3 potatoes for this.

16.—Chicken Fritters.

Season well, pieces of cold roast chicken. Make a fritter batter, stir the pieces in. Drop by spoonfuls into boiling fat. Lemon juice added to the seasoning is an improvement.

17.—Baked Rice Cake.

One pt. of cold boiled rice, mixed with a cup of cold milk, 1 egg, about ½ a pt. of flour just sufficient to hold it together. Put into a deep pan and bake ½ an hour.

18.—Cheese and Tomato Rarebit.

(Chafing Dish.)

Put a tablespoonful of butter in the blazer and let the melted butter run over the bottom. Then add 2 cups of cheese grated or cut into dice. Stir until melted, then add the yolks of 2 eggs, beaten and diluted with ½ a cup of tomato purée, ¼ of a teaspoonful each of soda, salt, and paprika. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth, then serve on bread toasted upon but one side.—Janet M. Hill in "Boston Cooking School Magazine."

Cook 3 tablespoonfuls of flour in four of butter; add ½ a cup of milk, season with salt and pepper. Mix this with 1 cupful of cooked onions put through a sieve; add three eggs beaten very light. Turn into a baking dish and stand in a pan of hot water. Bake ½ an hour.

20.—Hungarian Chicken.

Joint a fowl as for fricassee; put it on the fire in enough cold water to cover it; bring it to a boil slowly, and cook until tender. Unless the chicken is quite young this should require from 2 to 3 hours. When it has been simmering about an hour put in a sliced onion, 2 stalks of celery, 3 sprigs of parsley, and a teaspoonful of paprika. When the chicken is done, arrange it in a dish, add to the gravy salt to taste and the juice of ½ a lemon and pour it over the chicken.—From "The National Cook Book," by Marion Harland and Christine Terhune Herrick.

21.—Bean Croquettes.

Soak 1 qt. of white soup beans over night. In the morning, drain, cover with fresh cold water, bring to a boil, drain, and cover with 1 qt. boiling water; boil slowly for about an hour.

23.—Bologna Sandwich.

Take off the skin from a bologna sausage. Rub to a paste. Spread slices of rye bread with butter and if liked, a little French mustard, then a layer of the bologna. Put two slices together.

24.—Breaded Ham Saute.

Cut cold boiled ham into rather thick slices, cover with a mixture of pepper, olive oil, and mustard; dip in egg, then in cracker crumbs and set in a cold place. Fry slices of fat bacon or pork crisp, take them out and put the breaded ham into the hissing fat. Turn when the lower side is brown and cook the upper. Garnish with hard-boiled eggs cut in slices, serving a slice upon each portion of ham.—From "The National Cook Book," by Marion Harland and Christine Terhune Herrick.

25.—Potato Stew.

Peel and slice 8 large potatoes. Into a deep saucepan put 3 slices of salt pork cut into small pieces, fry them, and then add the potatoes with salt, pepper, and 1 large peeled tomato, sliced, cover with water and let cook until the potatoes are done.

26.—Codfish Hash.

Freshen 1 pt. of salt codfish, add to it 1 qt. chopped, boiled potatoes, mix well, cut three slices of salt pork in very small pieces and fry brown; remove half the pork and add the fish and potatoes to the remainder; let it stand and steam five minutes without stirring; be careful not to let it burn; then add 1/3 cup of milk, and stir well. Put the remainder of the pork around the edge of the pan, and a little butter over it; simmer slowly for ½ an hour, until a brown crust is formed, then turn on a platter and serve.

27.—Sugared Sweet Potatoes.

Boil 6 sweet potatoes, peel them, and let them get cold, then cut in two lengthwise; lay them with the rounded side down in a baking dish, put a bit of butter and salt and pepper on each piece. Sprinkle granulated sugar over all and put in a quick oven to brown for ½ an hour.

28.—Cracker Custard.

Take a dozen milk crackers, break them up in small pieces and put into a pudding dish. Heat 1 qt. of milk, until boiling, sweeten and flavor to taste with vanilla, lemon or orange, and stir into it three well-beaten eggs. Take the milk from the fire at once and pour over the broken crackers. When cool stand on the ice and serve icy cold.

MARCH.

1.—Veal Mould.

Boil 3 eggs, cut in slices crosswise and line the bottom and sides of a mould. Place in the mould alternate layers of thin slices of cold veal and ham. Cover with stock well boiled down. Set into the oven for ½ an hour; when cold turn out of mould and garnish with parsley.

2.—Halibut Rechauffe.

Cut an onion into a saucepan, add a cup of water, a little mace and parsley. When thoroughly boiled, add 1 cup of cream or milk, 1 small spoonful of butter, 1 tablespoonful of flour, and strain all through a sieve. Take cold halibut, remove the bones and skin, and flake it, butter a dish and put in a layer of fish then one of the dressing, alternately, until the dish is full. Put grated bread crumbs on top and bake half an hour.

3.—Yorkshire Pork Pie.

Chop lean pork somewhat coarsely; butter a pudding dish and line with good paste; put in the pork interspersed with minced onion and hard boiled eggs, cut into bits and sprinkle with pepper, salt, and powdered sage. Now and then dust with flour and drop in a bit of butter. When all the meat is in, dredge with flour and stick small pieces of butter quite thickly all over it. Cover with puff paste, cut a slit in the middle of the crust and bake ½ an hour for each lb. of meat. When it begins to brown, wash the crust with the white of an egg. It will give a fine gloss to it.—From "The National Cook Book," by Marion Harland and Christine Terhune Herrick.

4.—Coffee Fritters.

Cut stale bread into finger-shaped pieces, mix ¾ of a cup of coffee infusion, 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar, ¼ of a teaspoonful of salt, 1 egg slightly beaten, and ¼ of a cup of cream. Dip the pieces of bread into the liquid and "egg and bread crumb," and fry in deep fat. Drain on soft paper at the oven door. Serve at once, with sauce.—Janet M. Hill, in "Boston Cooking School Magazine."

Coffee Sauce.—Scald 1½ cups of milk, half a cup of ground coffee, and let stand 20 minutes. Strain and add the infusion slowly to 1/3 of a cup of sugar, mixed with ¾ of a tablespoonful of arrowroot and a few grains of salt. Cook 5 minutes. Serve hot.—"Boston Cooking School Magazine."

5.—Finnan-haddie.

Wash the fish thoroughly, soak ½ an hour in cold water, skin side up; then cover with boiling water and let stand 5 minutes. Drain carefully, then remove the skin and bone. Put the flaked fish into a buttered serving dish and pour over it white sauce equal in quantity to that of the fish; cover with buttered crumbs and bake in a hot oven long enough to brown the crumbs.—Janet M. Hill, in "Boston Cooking School Magazine."

6.—Roast Pigeons with Bread Sauce.

Stuff the pigeons with ordinary force meat. Roast and serve around a pyramid of baked tomatoes, and serve with the following sauce.

Sauce.—Simmer three small onions, sliced, in ½ a pint of milk for an hour. Take out the onions, put in grated bread, a small lump of butter, pepper, salt, a dessertspoonful of chopped parsley, 1 chili and 1 anchovy (washed and boned) shredded fine. Make it the consistency of bread sauce.

7.—Oyster Chartreuse.

Boil and mash fine 6 potatoes, add a cupful of milk, salt and pepper to taste, a little butter, and the whites of 4 eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Have a plain mould well buttered and sprinkle the bottom and sides with bread crumbs. Line the mould with the potatoes and let stand for a few minutes. Put a slice of onion and 1 pt. of cream or milk to boil. Mix two tablespoonfuls of flour with a little cream or milk, and stir into the boiling cream. Season well with salt and pepper and cook eight minutes. Let the oysters come to a boil in their own liquor, skim them out and add to the cream, take out the piece of onion. Season and turn carefully into the mould. Cover with mashed potato, being careful not to add too much at once. Bake ½ an hour. Take from the oven about ten minutes before dishing and let it cool a little. Then place a large dish over the mould and turn out carefully. Caution should be taken that every part of the mould has a thick coating of the potato, and when the covering is put on, no opening is left for the sauce to escape.

8.—Potatoes au Gratin.

Slice eight boiled potatoes, and put a layer of them in a buttered baking dish; make a white sauce with 1 tablespoonful each of butter and flour and a cup of milk; season with cayenne and salt; cover the layer of potatoes with a layer of sauce, and so continue until the dish is full. Sprinkle the top with bread crumbs and grated cheese; bake about 20 minutes.

9.—Mutton Kidneys.

Cut some mutton kidneys, open down the centre, do not separate them; peel, and pass a skewer across them to keep them open, season and dip them in melted butter, broil over a clear fire, doing the cut side first; remove the skewers; have ready a little butter mixed with some chopped parsley, salt, pepper and a little lemon juice and a dash of nutmeg; put a small piece of this butter in the centre of each kidney and serve hot.

10.—Beefsteak and Kidney Pudding.

Cut 2 lbs. of round steak into small pieces and slice one beef kidney. Line a deep dish with suet crust, leaving a small piece of crust to overlap the edge, then cover the bottom with a portion of the steak and kidney, season with salt and pepper, then add more steak and kidney, season again. Put in sufficient stock or water to come to within 2 inches of the top of the dish. Moisten the edges of the crust with cold water, cover the pudding over, press the two crusts together that the gravy may not escape and turn up the overhanging paste. Steam for 3 or 4 hours.

11.—Hot Pot.

Cut nice pieces of cold pork and put them into a deep pan. (If there are bones put them on to simmer and make a gravy, if not, use stock.) Parboil some potatoes and onions, cut them into rather large pieces and mix them in well with the meat, season with pepper, salt and a little sage, and add the gravy. Put a layer of potatoes on the top and brown in the oven.

12.—Lobster Patties.

Take 6 tomatoes, cut and squeeze the juice out, put them in a pan with a little onion, 1 clove, a blade of mace, a little parsley, salt, cayenne, a half cup of gravy, and let them simmer gently until the tomatoes are tender enough to pulp. Rub the whole through a sieve. Boil for a few minutes and pour over some slices of mutton which have been salted and broiled.

11.—Sausage Rissoles.

Mash a cupful of potato, make into a paste with a little butter and flour. Roll out, cut in rounds, lay a cooked sausage in each one, turn one half the paste over, pinch the sides together, fry in hot fat.

12.—Boudinettes.

Chop fine a little cold meat and bacon; add chopped parsley and season. Mash boiled potatoes, add butter and enough flour to make a paste. Line patty pans which have been well greased with the paste, fill with the chopped meat, put a piece of butter and a teaspoonful of gravy into each one and brown in the oven.

13.—Eggs Cupped.

Butter 4 teacups, sprinkle them with chopped parsley, add a little pepper and salt, and into each one break an egg. Cover with bread crumbs and set them in a saucepan of boiling water for about 5 minutes. Turn out carefully on buttered toast.

14.—Polish Salad.

Chop fine some cold meat, ½ a head of lettuce, hard boiled eggs, boiled beets and an onion and pickled cucumber. Arrange lettuce leaves on a platter. Mix the chopped ingredients with a good French dressing. Heap on the lettuce leaves and ornament with a few slices of hard boiled egg and parsley.

15.—Baked Spanish Onions.

Put the onions in a pan in the oven and bake 4 hours. They will blacken on the outside, but that does not matter; when they begin to shrink try them with a knitting-needle, and if quite tender strip off the skin. Add a little butter, pepper and salt on top and set into the oven again for a few minutes.

16.—Codfish with Potato Border.

Boil and mash 6 potatoes, add 2 tablespoonfuls of butter, salt, pepper and a cup of milk, beat well and pile in a circle on a round platter. Freshen 1 pt. of codfish, pick into small pieces. Into a saucepan put 2 tablespoonfuls of butter and 1 of flour, mix well, add 2 tablespoonfuls of hot milk and a little onion. Stir well, add the fish, cook for fifteen minutes. Turn into the potato circle. Serve hot.

17.—Scotch Broth.

Wash and clean a sheep's head and soak for 2 hours. Put it in a deep saucepan with just enough water to cover it. When the head is thoroughly heated, add 2 qts. of water and boil for 2 hours. Take out the head and remove the meat from the bones. Put back the bones into the saucepan with an onion, a bunch of sweet herbs, salt and pepper. Simmer another hour. Chop the meat into small pieces and add it to the soup ten minutes before serving.

18.—Oyster Stew No. 1.

Strain the juice from the oysters; let it come to a boil; remove the scum, rinse the oysters in cold water, add them to the liquor, with a cup of cream, small piece of butter and pepper and salt to taste. Serve the oysters on slices of hot buttered toast.

19.—Sweet Rice Balls.

Wash thoroughly 1 scant cupful of rice in cold water, put in a double boiler with 1 pt. of milk, cover and cook until soft. Add 1 teaspoonful of butter, 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar, salt to taste and the well beaten yolk of an egg. When cold mould into small balls, pressing into the centre of each a raisin or a candied cherry. Dip in egg, roll in crumbs and fry in smoking hot fat. Drain and roll in powdered sugar before serving.—From "Table Talk," Phila.

20.—Stewed Eels.

Skin and cut the eels into 2 inch pieces, cover with boiling water, add a tablespoonful of vinegar and simmer for 10 minutes; drain. In a saucepan melt 1 tablespoonful of butter and add 2 of flour, mix well; when smooth add 1 pt. of veal stock, 1 small sliced onion, 1 bay leaf, a little parsley, salt and pepper. Cook the eels gently in this for ½ an hour. When done, dish the eels and pour the sauce over.

21.—Beef Roll.

1½ lbs. of round steak, 2 eggs, salt, summer savory and pepper. Chop the meat fine, season. Beat the eggs well and add to the meat; when well mixed, roll it up closely, put into a dripping pan and bake an hour. To be eaten cold.

22.—Turnip Cream Soup.

1 qt. of mutton broth. Cook until tender in this 4 young white turnips; when tender rub through a sieve, return this to the fire, thicken with 2 tablespoonfuls of butter and 2 of flour, season with salt and pepper; beat in an egg and serve.

23.—Oyster Croquettes.

Chop ½ a pt. of raw oysters and ½ a pt. of cooked veal very fine. Soak 3 tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs in the oyster broth and then add a tablespoonful of butter, a little onion juice, the beaten yolks of 2 eggs. Mix all well together, shape into croquettes and fry.

24.—Sweet Potato Pone No. 2.

Peel and grate sufficient raw sweet potatoes to make 5 cupfuls. Add 3 cupfuls of best West Indian molasses, 2 cupfuls of butter, 1 cupful each of preserved ginger and candied orange peel cut fine, 2 tablespoonfuls of mixed spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves), 1 tablespoonful of ground ginger, 1 scant teaspoonful of salt. Mix all well together, turn into a deep buttered earthen dish and bake slowly in a moderate oven for from 2 to 3 hours, according to thickness. When done a knife blade run down to the bottom of the dish will come out clean. Serve hot, cutting in thick slices. It can be reheated 2 or 3 times if necessary. This recipe is said to be over 200 years old.—"Table Talk," Phila.

25.—Baked Turnips.

Half boil 6 turnips, cut them in slices, butter a pudding dish, put in the turnips, add a little milk, season with salt and pepper, cover the top with bread crumbs and grated cheese. Bake until golden brown.

26—Oyster Stew No. 2.

Boil ½ a pint of milk and ½ a pint of oyster juice, remove the scum, throw in the oysters, add 2 tablespoonfuls of butter, salt and pepper. When the edges curl they are done. Serve with small crackers and celery.

27.—Apple Griddle Cakes.

Put 1 cup finely chopped apple in 1 qt. of any griddle batter; stir well to keep the apple evenly distributed.

28.—Turkey and Sausage Scallop.

Butter a pudding dish and fill with alternate layers of cold minced turkey and cooked minced and cold sausage meat, seasoning slightly as you go. The sausage will supply nearly all the seasoning you wish. Pour in as much gravy or weak stock as the dish will hold; let it soak in for a few minutes and cover with a mush of bread crumbs, peppered, salted and soaked in cream or milk, then beaten smooth with an egg and a tablespoonful of butter melted. It should be half an inch thick. Cover and bake for ½ an hour, then uncover and brown. Serve at once, as the crust will soon fall.—From "The National Cook Book," by Marion Harland and Christine Terhune Herrick.

29.—Rice Johnny Cake.

Take 2 cups of boiled rice and mix with a little cold milk, a little salt and flour enough to hold it together. Spread it a quarter of an inch thick on flat tin sheets, and brown it in front of the fire or put it in the oven. When brown butter it and cut in square slices and serve very hot.

30.—Cheese Pudding No. 2.

Mix well together ½ a pint of bread crumbs, a little thyme and parsley, a teaspoonful of curry powder, 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped, a few slices of cheese broken up in small pieces, 2 ozs. of butter dissolved in a pint of warm milk and two raw eggs beaten well. Let this soak for ½ an hour. Bake in a slow oven. Cover the top with a plate until half done, then remove it and brown the pudding. Bake an hour and a half.

31—Pease Pudding.

Wash and soak 1½ cupfuls of dried green peas over night. Put on in a kettle of cold water with 1 teaspoonful of salt and simmer slowly until very tender, drain and rub through a sieve, then set aside until cold. Season highly with salt and pepper, add 2 well-beaten eggs, turn into a floured pudding cloth, drop into salted boiling water and boil hard for an hour. Turn out on a hot dish and serve with butter.—"Table Talk," Phila.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ 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™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ 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™ 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.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. 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™ 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™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ 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™, 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.
