Eggs, Opéra. Garnish some shirred eggs on one side with asparagus tips in butter, and on the other side with chickens’ livers sauté au Madère.
Consommé with Italian paste. Boil some Italian paste in salted water for eight minutes. Then drain off water, and cool the paste in cold water. Serve in hot consommé, with grated cheese separate.
Stewed striped bass, Américaine. Cut four pounds of striped bass in pieces two inches thick. Put them in a buttered sauté pan with an onion chopped fine; season with salt and pepper, add a glassful of white wine, and one quart of canned tomatoes just as they come from the can; and a bouquet garni. Cover, and simmer for half an hour. Then remove the fish to a platter, take out the bouquet garni, and reduce the broth one-half. Add, little by little, three ounces of sweet butter, stir until the butter is melted, add a little chopped parsley, and pour over the fish.
Corn starch blanc mange. Put a pint of milk on the fire. Moisten three spoonfuls of corn starch in a little cold milk, and then stir it into the boiling milk. Add two ounces of sugar and two well-beaten eggs. Cook for a few minutes, and pour into small moulds. When cold, unmould, and serve with cold cream.
Corn starch blanc mange with Sabayon. Prepare as above, and serve covered with thick Sabayon sauce.
Corn starch blanc mange with berries. Prepare a corn starch blanc mange, and serve with sweetened strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or loganberries, around the edge of the dish.
Corn starch blanc mange with stewed fruit. Serve corn starch blanc mange with cold stewed apples, pears, peaches, plums, or apricots, around the bottom of the dish.
Corn starch food. (For infants or invalids.) Boil one pint of milk. Add three tablespoonfuls of corn starch diluted with a little cold water, and two ounces of sugar. Stir into the boiling milk, boil for a few minutes, and serve hot or cold.
