(Varieties of stew as above may be made by garnishing with rice timbales and small stuffed tomatoes instead of the vegetables; also instead of the vegetables, use stewed tomatoes and an extra clove of garlic; or using a plain garnish of either green peas, flageolets, stringless beans, butter beans, haricot beans, glazed new carrots, braised stalks of celery, fried egg plant, rice and okras; small white turnips hollowed out, steamed, then filled with a macedoine, jardiniere; green peas, flageolets, etc., potato croquettes, slices of stuffed cucumber, stuffed artichoke bottoms, etc., and named accordingly). REMEMBER ALWAYS THAT IT IS THE STEWS WHICH KEEP DOWN THE KITCHEN EXPENSES, AND ARE ALWAYS IN STRONG DEMAND BY THE PATRONS, IF WELL COOKED, SEASONED, AND VERY NEATLY GARNISHED; IT THEN APPEALS TO THE EYE AND ITS SAVORI-NESS TO THE PALATE. DO NOT LET YOUR VEGETABLE OR FRY COOK JUST DISH IT OUT ON TO THE PLATTER WITH A LADLE SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS A STEW; PLACE THE MEAT NEATLY ON A DISH, THEN GARNISH IT WITH CARE.
