Eggs, Opera. Garnish some shirred eggs on one side with asparagus tips in butter, and on the other side with chickens' livers saute au Madere.
Consomme 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 consomme, with grated cheese separate.
Stewed striped bass, Americaine. Cut four pounds of striped bass in pieces two inches thick. Put them in a buttered saute 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.
