English chuck steak, maitre d'hotel. This steak is cut from the end of the saddle, near the legs. It should be cut all the way across the saddle, and about an inch and a half thick. Season with salt and pepper, dip in oil, and broil. When done put on a platter, cover with maitre d'hotel sauce, and garnish with lemon and watercress.

White beans and tomatoes. Soak two pounds of white beans in cold water, over night. Then put the beans in a vessel with three quarts of water, a ham bone, a bouquet garni, and a handful of salt. Bring to the boiling point, skim, cover, and boil until well done. Remove the ham bone and the bouquet, and drain off the water. In a casserole put two ounces of butter and a chopped onion, and simmer until nice and yellow. Then add four peeled and chopped fresh tomatoes, or a quart of canned tomatoes, and simmer for thirty minutes. Then add the beans, season with salt and pepper, and simmer all together for fifteen minutes.

Oysters, marine. Same as pickled oysters.

Potato soup, Dieppoise. In a sauce pan put three ounces of butter, one sliced celery root, two leeks, a half dozen sliced parsley roots, and simmer for five minutes. Then add two pounds of potatoes sliced very thin, and two quarts of bouillon. Season with salt and pepper, and boil for forty-five minutes. Just before serving add two rolls that have been sliced thin and toasted in the oven, and a little fresh-chopped parsley.

Sweet potatoes flambe with rum. Boil and peel four sweet potatoes, and cut in egg shapes. Put in pan with two ounces of butter and roast until nice and yellow. Then add a little salt and a teaspoonful of sugar, heat, and then put in chafing dish. Pour two ponies of rum on top, light, and bring to the table flaming.

Vanilla chocolate glacee. Line a pudding mould with lady fingers, fill with vanilla ice cream, unmould, and decorate with whipped cream and glace cherries.

Dartois Chantilly. Roll some puff paste with six turns, and about one-quarter inch thick. Cut in strips two inches wide and four inches long. Place them in a wet pan about one-half inch apart, and let them set for a few minutes, then brush over with egg, and with the point of a small knife mark a line about one-eighth inch deep all around the cakes, and about one-quarter inch from the edges. Bake in rather hot oven for about twenty-five minutes. Remove the top while hot, and empty the cake, leaving only the dry crust. Fill with sweetened whipped cream, vanilla flavor, after cooling.
