Omelet with fine herbs. Mix equal parts of chopped parsley, chervil, and chives with the beaten eggs, season well with salt and white pepper, and make the omelet in the usual manner.

Lamb chops, sauce Soubise. Season the chops well, roll in oil, then in bread crumbs, and broil. Put a cupful of sauce Soubise on a platter, and lay the broiled chops on top.

Strawberry shortcake. Bake two layers of sponge cake (see layer cake). Place on top of one some well-sweetened strawberries, put the other cake on top, and press well together. Cut in individual portions, put some selected berries on top, and decorate with sweetened whipped cream. Serve cream separate.

Old fashioned strawberry shortcake. Make some biscuit dough as follows : Mix three-quarters of a pound of flour, one ounce of baking powder, two ounces of sugar, two ounces of butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix to a dough with half a pint of milk. Roll out about one-half inch thick, and bake. When cold split in two, place on one layer some crushed strawberries, and spread some sugar over them. Put the other layer on top and cut in squares. Serve with well-sweetened crushed strawberries on top, and plain cream separate.

Raspberry shortcake. Prepare in the same manner as either of the above, using raspberries in place of strawberries.

Potage Chatelaine. Simmer in two ounces of butter one onion, one-half stalk of celery, and one leek, all chopped very fine. Then add one-half pound of lean beef cut in small squares, sprinkle with three ounces of flour, and simmer until well browned. Then add two quarts of stock or bouillon and boil for an hour. Season with salt and fresh-ground black pepper, and add a glass of good sherry wine before serving.

String beans, Alsacienne. Simmer in a casserole in three ounces of butter one chopped onion. When just colored golden yellow, add one spoonful of flour, one quart of bouillon, stock, or chicken broth, and three pounds of cleaned and well-washed string beans. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and simmer for forty minutes. Then add one-half glass of white wine and cook for fifteen minutes. Do not add the wine to the beans until they are soft. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
