Imperial salad. Equal parts of sliced tomatoes, sliced artichoke bottoms, and fresh peas. Put them in a salad bowl, cover with mayonnaise sauce, and lay some sliced truffles on top.
St. Francis cheese. Scrape the skin from three Camembert cheeses, and put in a copper casserole. Add one-quarter pound of good Roquefort cheese, one-half pound of the best table butter, two tablespoonfuls of sifted flour, and one pint of the best cream. Cook until melted, and the whole becomes thick; then strain through cheese cloth. Put in an earthern pot and allow to become cool. The cheese will keep for two weeks if kept in the ice box.
Potage St. Marceau. Mix one quart of puree of split pea soup with one pint of consomme Julienne.
Fillet of sole, Montmorency. Place four fillets of sole in a buttered pan, season with salt and pepper, and lay on each fillet four heads of canned French mushrooms. Cover all with one pint of sauce Italienne, sprinkle with grated cheese, put small bits of butter on top, and bake in oven for fifteen minutes. Then remove from the oven, squeeze the juice of a lemon on top, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve from the pan used in cooking, which may be placed on a platter.
Sweetbreads braise, Princess. Braise four nice sweetbreads, and place them on fresh artichoke bottoms on a platter. Garnish with boiled cauliflower with a little Bearnaise sauce poured over it; and over the sweetbreads pour the gravy left after braising. Saute the livers of four chickens in butter, season well with salt and pepper, and lay them around the cauliflower.
Corn starch pudding. One quart of milk, three ounces of corn starch, five ounces of sugar, four yolks and four whites of eggs, one ounce of butter, and flavoring. Dissolve the corn starch in a little cold milk. Put the rest of the milk and the sugar on the stove, and when near boiling add the dissolved corn starch and stir well. Boil for a few minutes, then take off the fire, add the butter, the yolks of eggs, and the flavoring. Beat the whites to snow, and add, mixing lightly. Put into buttered moulds and bake for about twenty minutes. Serve with fruit or cream sauce.
