COOKING FOR PROFIT,
692— Calt's Foot o«' Aspic or Savory
Jelly.
Colored jelly^ in ornamental shapes was
the distinguishing characteristic of Car-
erne's system in cookery, particularly as
he employed it to produce p^orgeous effects
of light and color in the elaborately dec-
orated set tables anJ grand banquets of
his time; classic figures in wax, ^ waxen
leaves and borders and scenic designs are
the distinguishing characteristic of the
later system originated (or, rather re-
suscitated, for there is nothing new) by
the court cooks at Vienna, and fostered
and encouraged by the emperor and em-
press themselves, as if they would fain
have an original system for their own
court and following, not borrowed from
the French. ✪ Calf's Foot Jelly
