Fresh Fruit” Camembert Cheese*” Toasted Crackers! Coffee*® BUFFET LUNCHES AND SUPPERS A large company may be entertained easily and well if the guests serve themselves from a central table or buffet. Hot foods should be replenished frequently or served from a chafing dish or electric grill, etc. Beverages may be served from urns or from pots which are refilled from time to time. For a buffet luncheon or supper party, choose one hot and one cold dish, with a salad and hot rolls or simple bread-and-butter sandwiches. See suggestions for Luncheons (p. 6) and Suppers (p. 17). For dessert, the choice is wide — an ice cream, indi- vidual tarts, fruit cup with cakes or cookies, or any other dessert which can be prepared in quantity well in advance and which is easy to serve. | I Cold Virginia Ham*”, thinly sliced Finnan Haddie™, Delmonico Small Rolls” nee a Tomatoes Stuffed with Celery and Apple™ Lemon Tarts™ or Macédoine of Fruit® ’ Small figures refer to the pages where recipes appear in this book. 20 THE BOSTON COOKING-SCHOOL COOK BOOK II Louisburg Chicken Pie*’ Perfection Salaa*® Parker House Rolls’ Coffee” Vanilla Ice Cream™, Strawberry Sauce III" Marguerites’® or Almond Cakes™ or Tiny Cup Cakes 710 CHILDREN’S PARTIES Most children are conservative about food, so choose simple — dishes which are likely to be familiar to all the guests.
