Vogeleier omelet. Cut a roll in very thin slices, put in omelet pan with
two ounces of butter, and fry until crisp. Add eight beaten eggs, with salt,
pepper, and plenty of chives, and make into an omelet.
Tartelette au Bar le Due. Line the moulds with tartelette dough, fill
with raw white beans, and bake. When the dough is done remove the beans,
and fill the tartelettes with imported Bar le Due jelly. Decorate with
whipped cream.
Consomme de la Mariee. Boil one quart of consomme. Put the yolks
of four eggs in a soup tureen and stir well, adding the consomme slowly.
Season with a little Cayenne pepper.
Oyster sauce. Parboil a dozen oysters in their own juice for two minutes.
Then strain the broth through a napkin into one pint of cream or Allemande
sauce, add the oysters, and season.
Lima beans. Boil the beans in salt water until soft, drain off, add sweet
butter and a little pepper, and simmer for a few minutes. Serve with a
sprinkle of chopped parsley.
Peas in cream. Boil the peas in salt water until nearly done. Drain
off the water and add just enough thick cream to wet them, and simmer for
five minutes. Then add a cup of cream sauce and cook until the peas are
very soft. Add a little salt and a pinch of sugar.
Coupe oriental. Slice some fresh fruit, such as oranges, pineapple, bananas,
etc., add all kinds of berries in season, and put in a bowl with some sugar
and a small glass of kirsch or maraschino. Allow to macerate for a couple
of hours. Then fill coupe glasses half way to the top with the fruit, and fill
the remainder with vanilla ice cream. Place a strawberry or cherry on top.
Cook about one-quarter of a pound of sugar so that it will crack when cold.
It will require about 310 degrees. Dip a tablespoon into it and shake it over
a stick, to form file sugar (commonly called spun sugar). Cut this sugar
in pieces and form in the shape of a ball, and put on top of the cup before
serving.
