A year's cookery

Dinner.— Clear Soup, with Savoury Custard (July 30tli). Roast Pheasant. — Pheasants may be trussed, roasted, and served in the same way as partridges (October 6th). A pheasant would need to roast from three-quarters to one hour. Gravy (October 6th) , Bread Sauce (October 18th). Potato Mould. — Mash potatoes in the usual way (May 12th), then press them lightly into a handsome mould that has* been well buttered inside in every part. Turn the mould out, and brown it equally all over either in the oven or before the fire. If liked, the mould can have brown bread raspings sprinkled over the inside of the mould before the potatoes are put in it. Mashed pota¬ toes may also be pressed with a small mould, then browned before being served. Red Cabbage , Stewed. — Excellent served with game of all kinds or with fried pork chops. Cut up a firm moderate¬ sized red cabbage as for pickling. Wash and drain it, and put it in a stewpan with a little pepper and salt and two ounces of butter. Cover the stewpan closely, and stew the cabbage for two hours. General Favourite Pudding (May 17th) ; Cheese (June 8th). Things that must not be Forgotten. 1. Wash the tongue quickly in cold water, and put it into the brine in which the beef was pickled. 2. If it can be done, leave the legs of the pheasant untouched and prepare them to be devilled for breakfast to-morrow. Pheasant’s legs are excellent devilled (January 14th). 3. Pastry is to be made to-day (April 17th): Apple and quince pies (August 7th), lemon cheesecakes (August 18th); also soda cake (August 14th), and Sally Lunns (August 26th). 4.
