Economical Soups and Entrees (Vachon) $1.00
This book was written in response to a demand
for a book that would tell how to prepare savory
dishes from inexpensive materials at small cost ;
and, in particular, how to use up leftovers ; by
which is meant good cooked foods not served at
a previous meal, and which have not in any way
lost their marketable value in the sense of de-
terioration of quality, but which can be served
in hotel or restaurant in the same appetizing
manner that leftovers are served in well-to-do
families. Mr. Vachon was selected to write this
book because of his reputation as an economical
chef. In it he has given recipes in particular for
meat entrees of the savory order, stews, pies and
croquettes, hash, salads and fried meats. The
soups include creams, broths, bouillons, chowders,
purees, pepper-pots and the like. It is two books
in one, separately indexed, printed on bond paper,
leaf 3x7 inches, bound in flexible cover.

Drinks (Jacques Straub) $1.00

practical recipes, it has a preface by "Oscar" of
the Waldorf, and an opening chapter outlining
the care and medicinal value of wines.

used by the finest hotels and clubs, by connois-
seurs of beverages, and as a book that is author-
itative and exceedingly practical because it was
written by one who knew how, and was first
published in the days before prohibition, (1914).
