Herring salad, Moscovite. Soak half a dozen salted herrings in cold water for two hours. Then skin them, remove the bones, slice very thin, and place on a china platter. Chop two pickled beets, and place around the herring. Chop separately the whites and yolks of two hard-boiled eggs, and place on top of the herring. Pour the following dressing over all: Put in a bowl two spoonfuls of fresh-grated horseradish, a little salt and fresh-ground black pepper, one spoonful of tarragon vinegar, two spoonfuls of olive oil, and a little chopped cloves and parsley. Mix well.

Eggs, Germaine. Broil four large heads of fresh mushrooms and place them on four small round pieces of toast. Put a poached egg on top of each mushroom; and cover with sauce Colbert, to which has been added a little chopped tarragon.

Lamb chops saute, aux fines herbes. Season eight lamb chops with salt and pepper, and fry in melted butter. Then place the chops on a platter. Put two ounces of butter in the frying pan, cook until the butter is brown, and pour over the chops. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, chervil, tarragon, and the juice of a lemon.

Peas and shallots in cream. Put in a saute pan one dozen peeled shallots and simmer in two ounces of butter until golden yellow. Then add one quart of shelled peas, one cup of water, a little salt and a pinch of sugar. Then put on the cover and boil until soft. Drain off half of the broth and add one pint of rich cream sauce. Boil again for a few minutes.

German carrot soup. Grate the red parts of six carrots and put in a casserole with two ounces of butter and one chopped onion. Simmer for twenty minutes. Then add one pint of chicken broth, or veal broth, or any kind of stock; and one bouquet garni. Boil for twenty minutes, then remove the bouquet, and pass the rest through a fine sieve. Put back in casserole, add one pint of cream sauce, bring to a boil, and Bind with the yolks of two eggs mixed with one cup of cream. Strain again; and before serving add a quarter of a pound of boiled noodles. Season with salt and a little Cayenne pepper.

Sand dabs, Gaillard. Season four sand dabs with salt and pepper, put in a buttered pan, lay four raw oysters on top of each fish, add one-half glass of white wine, cover with buttered paper, and cook in oven for ten minutes. Then remove the paper and pour one pint of cream sauce over the fish. Sprinkle with two chopped hard-boiled eggs, put a few bits of butter on top, and bake in oven until brown.

Braised beef, comfortable. Braise the beef, as described elsewhere. Add to the sauce one can of sliced mushrooms. Garnish the beef with a timbale of spinach for each person.
