Eggs Sarah Bernhardt. Cut six hard-boiled eggs in two, remove the yolks, mash them up and mix with a little salt, pepper, celery salt, one spoonful of fresh bread crumbs, one spoonful of chopped chicken meat, and the yolk of one raw egg. Stuff the halved whites of eggs with this, put on a buttered dish and place in the oven for four minutes. Dress on a silver platter, and cover with sauce Perigueux.
Sauce Perigueux. Chop a small can of truffles and put in a casserole with one glass of Madeira, and reduce until nearly dry. Then add one pint of brown gravy and season with salt and Cayenne pepper.
Sauce Perigord. Slice one small can of truffles, put in casserole with one glass of Madeira or sherry wine, reduce, add one pint of brown gravy and boil again for twelve minutes. Season with salt and Cayenne pepper.
Reindeer stew. Cut about five pounds of shoulder and breast of reindeer in pieces two inches square. Put in saute pan with one-quarter pound of butter, season with salt and pepper, and saute until nice and brown. Then add two spoonfuls of flour and simmer until the flour is slightly brown; add one pint of claret and one quart of boiling water, a bouquet garni, and bring to a boil; skim, cover and let slowly cook until nearly done. Saute in butter twelve heads of fresh mushrooms, and parboil twelve very small potatoes and fry in butter, add them to the stew and cook until soft. Season well with salt and pepper.
Cream of farina. Boil one pound of farina in one quart of milk. When done add one pint of well-seasoned chicken broth, and strain through a fine sieve. Put back in pot, add two ounces of sweet butter and one pint of boiling cream. Season with salt and a little Cayenne pepper.
Fillet of turbot, Bonnefoy. Cut the turbot in fillets about one and one-half inches wide and three inches long. Put in saute pan, season with salt and pepper, add six very finely chopped shallots, one small can of mushrooms, or a half pound of fresh mushrooms, and one glass of claret. Cover with buttered manilla paper, put in oven and simmer for ten minutes, then remove the fish to a platter. Put the pan with the gravy on the fire, add one pint of tomato sauce and boil for five minutes. Then stir in well one ounce of good butter, and pour over the fish.
