Mixed grill. Broil one lamb chop, one breakfast sausage, one slice of tomato, one whole fresh mushroom head, and one whole lamb kidney. Put all on a plate, cover with maitre d'hotel sauce, and serve hot. Garnish with watercress.

Cup custard. Mix four eggs, one-quarter pound of sugar, one pint of milk, and flavor with vanilla. Strain, pour into cups, and bake in bain-marie until firm. It will require about one-half hour in a moderate oven.

Bain-marie. This is a term used in cookery for a vessel holding hot water in which another vessel may be heated at a temperature not above that of boiling water. Different dishes are variously allowed to stand, cook or bake in bain-marie. For example, Hollandaise sauce should be kept in bain-marie in hot water. Hollandaise or Bearnaise sauce, if kept in boiling water, would turn. A cream soup should be kept in boiling water, as extra cooking will not harm it. Timbale of chicken, custard for soup, or cup custard, should be cooked in bain-marie.

Puree Crecy (soup). Slice six carrots very thin, put in casserole with three ounces of butter, and simmer for thirty minutes. Then add three pints of well-seasoned chicken broth, and boil for one hour. Strain through a fine sieve. Serve in a separate dish small squares of bread fried in butter.

Roast leg of mutton. The leg of mutton should hang in the ice box at least four days before using. If too fresh it will be tough. Rub the mutton with salt and pepper and, if desired, a little garlic. Put in a roasting pan, one sliced onion, one sliced carrot, one bay leaf and two cloves. Now put in the mutton, with a piece of butter on top, and place in oven to roast. Baste continually. It will require from forty-five to sixty minutes to cook. If desired well done cook for another thirty minutes. When done take out the leg, drain off the fat, and make a gravy by adding one cup of stock and one spoonful of meat extract; boil, season, and strain.
