PREFACE
Within the covers of this book will
be found recipes for all kinds of
"tasty dishes." Each one offered
has been tested by competent
housewives It is put forth with
the certain belief that a fair trial
will prove it to have a genuine
and permanent place among
books of its kind .
SOUPS
The first and most important point in making good
soup is to have the best of materials. Soft cold water is
necessary, and it should not boil but simmer, and should
always be made in a porcelain-lined or granite soup-
kettle.
SOUP STOCK.
Cut the meat from the bones, and
place the bones in the bottom of the
kettle, lay the meat on top of them, add
water and stand on the back part of the
range for one hour. Then place over a
good fire. Soon the scum will form on
top. Skim, cover kettle closely and let
it simmer (not boil) four hours. Then
add vegetables and simmer one hour
longer. Strain, add salt and put at
once in a cool place. When cold take
all the grease from the surface and it is
ready for use. Mrs. S. T. Rarer.

corn and cook twenty minutes; press
through a sieve and return to boiler.

stantly until it thickens. Then add

beaten yolk of egg and serve imme-
diately.

] Ib. bacon,

BEAN SOUP.
Put beans (dark red Mexican with
white eye) to soak over night, and in
the morning boil till tender. Have a
stock made by simmering beef bone,
bacon, celery and onions for three
hours. Mash beans through a colan-
der and add to stock ; season to taste
w^th salt and pepper. Place croutons in
a soup-tureen and pour in the soup.
Dried Lima beans used in the same way
make a very nourishing and savory
soup. Mrs. A.J.Johnston.
TURKEY SOUP.
Take the turkey bones, cook for one
hour in water enough to cover, strain
and stir in a little of the dressing, a
beaten egg and a little chopped celery.
Take from the fire and add butter, salt
and pepper.
SOUTHERN GUMBO SOUP.
(As made by our old Auntie Mary.)
Prepare your chicken, crabs, etc., as
for soup or stew. Cut a slice of ham
into small pieces. Put tablespoonful of
lard into an iron pot ; add one onion,
red pepper and salt to taste. Sprinkle
the fowl, etc., with flour, and let it
remain until nicely browned, after
which put in water as for soup. Let it
boil for three or four hours. Just
before serving add your filet (dried sas-
safras) or okra; thicken with this to
your taste ; serve with rice.

8
X lb. can nut soup
stock,
6 l /z c. water,
2% doz. ripe olives ,
4 tsp. arrowroot,
2 tsp. salt.
NUT AND RIPE OLIVE SOUP.
Slice the "San Juan" ripe pickled
olives and cook fifteen minutes in three-
fourths of a cup of water. Combine the
blended stock and cooked olives, heat
to boiling, stir in the arrowroot, let all
boil up well, and salt and serve. The
nut soup stock may be had at your
grocer's, or you can make it, using
one-half cup of nut butter, rubbing it
smooth, adding water slowly.
YI. c. nut butter,
2 c. tomato,
5 c. water,
salt to taste.
NUT AND TOMATO BISQUE.
Rub the nut butter smooth with the
tomato. Add the water Heat to boil-
ing, and add salt enough to destroy the
acid taste of the tomato about four
teaspoon fuls.
i c. bran,
3 pts. water.
BRAN SOUP STOCK.
For every quart of stock desired boil
a cup of wheat bran in three pints of
water for two or three hours, or until
reduced one-third. This stock may be
made the base of a variety of palatable
and nutritious soups by flavoring with
different vegetables, nut cream, and
seasoning with salt. It is also valu-
able in giving consistency to any soup,
in the preparation of some of which it
may be advantageously used in place
of other liquid.
"The chief pleasure (in eating} does not consist in
costly seasoning or exquisite flavor, but in yourself . Do
not seek for sauce by sweating" HORACE.
SALADS
Always remember the great rule in cookery, and that
is tliat appearances are nine-tenths of any clish. Garnish
your salad with pieces of lemon, hard-boiled eggs, olives,
capers, pirsley, slices of pickle, and for your fruit and
nut salads use slices of banana and pieces of whole shelled
walnuts. The greatest thing for a salad-maker to remem-
ber is that never under any consideration should they
add the dressing to the salad until just before serving;
if they do, they will find that it has a tendency to wilt
the vegetables, making the salad a soft and insipid mass.
FRUIT AND NUT SALAD.
Peel and cut the fruit into small
slices, add nuts (chopped) and mix
with cream dressing. Serve on lettuce,
and dust over a little cayenne. Gar-
nish with slices of lemon and whole
i nuts.
j CREAM SALAD DRESSING.
Beat eggs to a cream; add sugar,
salt and mustard. Let cream come to
boil, and then slowly stir in the other
ingredients. Cook until thick.

POTATO SALAD.
(Cooked Mayonnaise?)
Potatoes should be boiled on the
morning of the day salad is to be used,
but not sliced until cold.
DRESSING. Heat vinegar to boiling
in agate cup. Beat yolks of eggs and
pour hot vinegar over them and stir
smooth ; return to the agate cup, place
on fire, stirring constantly until thick
(quite stiff). Upon removing from the
fire, add lump of butter and stir. Into
a dry cup put salt, mustard and cay-
enne. Stir all together dry, and squeeze
into this the juice of lemons and mix
with onion. Pour this over the egg
and vinegar, stir until smooth ; then
add cream and stir until dressing is
consistency of thick root. Add the
well-beaten whites of eggs at the last,
and when dressing has been poured
over sliced potatoes and salad lightly
tossed with a fork, sprinkle minced
parsley over all. Celery root, chopped
very fine, is quite a pleasant addition.

CRAB A LA CREOLE.
The following proportions are for six
persons :
i. Four good-sized cooked crabs.
(a) Break off and crack the legs well,
so that the shell can easily be removed
with fork and knife, or (horrible dictu)
with the fingers.
(b) Take out the body of each crab
and cleanse it thoroughly in cold water.
Then cut each body in half, along the
center, and cut each 'half into four
pieces.
(c) In the back shell of each crab
26
will be found more or less yellowish
liquor and white, creamy fat. Drain
off the liquor and throw it away, but
after doing this scoop out the fat and
put it in a plate for future use.
(d) Break off about half the back
shell of one crab and roast it in the
oven until brown. Don't burn it.
2. Take a gallon or six-quart sauce-
pan and brown two sliced onions, me-
dium size, in a little butter. Then
add to the onions one quart can of
tomatoes, one green bell-pepper sliced,
or four or five stalks of celery sliced,
and six cloves. Let this cook for about
fifteen minutes, until the flavor is ex-
tracted from the cloves, pepper, or cel-
ery. Then add the juice of two large
lemons, and the rind, cut very thin, of
half a lemon; sugar, one tablespoon;
salt, one teaspoon ; tabasco, twenty
drops; Worcester sauce, two table-
spoons ; sherry, one cup (or white wine,
one cup and a half) ; currie powder,
half teaspoon; and the roasted crab
shell beaten into pieces not smaller
than a nickel. Let this all cook for
about fifteen minutes, stirring it fre-
quently to keep from burning. Then
strain through a colander and put
back the strained sauce into your
saucepan. Now add the fat of the
crabs, a tablespoonful of butter and
enough flour or corn starch to thicken
well. Then put in all your cracked
27
shank of beef ,
pork rinds,
2 qts. water.
i tbsp. olive oil,
i tbsp. butter.
and cut crab and let the whole get
piping hot. Serve all the crab in a
large bowl, and the portions in deep
plates. It will be convenient to put on
the table a large dish or two for the
shells. C. L. Miel.
HEAD CHEESE.
Soak pork rinds over night and
scrape. Boil with shank of beef in
two quarts of water until it jellies,
carefully skimming off grease. Chop
meats, salt and pepper, add full amount
of water and set apart to cool.
CALVES' BRAINS.
Soak in cold water two or three
hours, then remove membrane. Drain
or make as dry as possible. Put oil
and butter in frying-pan, add brains,
and cook slowly half an hour. The
above is very nice, after frying in oil
half an hour, to take out and dip in
egg, roll in cracker crumbs and fry
until brown.
VEAL OR CHICKEN TERRAPIN.
Boil veal until tender (or use cold
roast). Have ready two hard-boiled
eggs; chop and add to them Ai sauce.
When sauce is done add chicken or
veal, and stir in a small glass of sherry
wine.

VEAL CROQUETTES.
Mince fine one pint of cold cooked
veal and season with salt, pepper, half
a teaspoonful of onion juice and one
teaspoonful of lemon juice. Put half a
pint of milk in the frying-pan on the
stove. Mix two tablespoonfuls of flour
with three of olive oil until smooth,
and stir into the milk as soon as it
begins to boil. When the sauce is
smooth and thick add the seasoned
meat and cook three minutes. Beat
three eggs together and pour half over
the cooking meat. Take from the fire
at once and stir well; set aside to cool.
When cold form into croquettes about
the size of an egg. Roll them in the
remainder of the beaten eggs, then in
bread crumbs. Put in the frying-
basket, but do not crowd. Have hot
olive oil in the frying-kettle about four
inches deep, and plunge the basket
with the croquettes into this and cook
for two minutes. Drain on brown
paper for a minute and serve at once.
Any kind of meat or fish can be sub-
stituted for the veal.
SWEETBREAD CROQUETTES.
After parboiling the sweetbreads,
stew them slowly in a little soup-stock
or water. Mix a tablespoonful of corn-
starch, a cup of water, i tablespoonful
of vinegar, T teacupful of cream and 2

beaten eggs. Put over the fire and stir
until thick. Season with salt and pep-
per, celery, nutmeg and parsley. Chop
the sweetbreads very fine and stir into
the above, and boil for five minutes.
Spread on a flat dish to cool, then cut
in pieces, roll in bread crumbs and fry
in hot olive oil.
FRIED APPLES.
Pare and cut the apples into eighths
(being careful to take out the seeds and
the core), and dust lightly with flour.
Heat some El Dorado or San Juan olive
oil in the frying-pan, put the apples in
and fry until they are a light brown.
Drain off the oil, sprinkle with sugar,
and pile on a hot dish. A little cinna-
mon mixed with the sugar is very nice.
Brown bread buttered is very nice
served with them.
OLIVE PATTIES.
To a rich cream gravy add one pint
pitted Sylmar olives and one pint oys-
ters. Heat thoroughly and serve in
patties. Season to taste.
CHICKEN SAUTE.
Stew chicken until it will drop from
the bones. Remove all the meat, chop
and return to the liquor. Add toma-
toes, olives (chopped), mushrooms and
seasoning, and simmer three hours.

An Original Way to Use Stale Bread.
Very Good.
For a small family make a "one-egg
batter," using no sugar. Have the
bread sliced, dip into the batter, which
must be thick enough to remain on the
bread when lifted out, and fry in deep,
hot fat. They puff up like doughnuts,
but the bread loses itself in the cooking.

GERMAN ALMOND PIE.
( With Prune or Preserve Filling?)
Do not blanch almonds nor chop too
fine. Put all the ingredients into a
large mixing bowl and work, with your
hands, into a smooth dough. Keep as
cool as possible. Flour your pie tins;
roll out your dough one-fourth inch
thick. Fill with any good preserves,
or prunes well cooked, stoned and
strained. Sugar to taste and flavor
with cinnamon. Roll little strips of
dough, about like a lead pencil, and
criss-cross your pie and roll all around
the edge. Bake a half hour in a mod-
erate oven until well done. Care must
be taken in baking. Try a little of the
dough if it runs too much, add more
flour. Sprinkle over powdered sugar
when done This will make about four
pies. Miss A. M. Gerber.

When chocolate has melted, put in but-
ter. Do not stir after this (remove
spoon) . To test Take a cup of water
in the left hand, wet the forefinger of
right hand and. , dip into the boiling
chocolate and then plunge into the cold
water in the cup. It will not burn the
finger. When the candy hardens to
the breaking point as it is put into the
water, it is ready to take off. Pour
quickly into buttered tin, but do not
drip or scrape the last from the sauce-

Put the last bit into a separate dish and

BREAD
"Behind the nutty loaf is the mill-wheel; behind the
mill is the wheat-field; on the wheat-field rests the sun-
light; above the sun is God.' 1 ' 1
BREAD.
(An Original Way to Use Stale Bread.
Very Good.}
For a small family make a "one egg
batter," using no sugar. Have the
bread sliced, dip into the batter, which
must be thick enough to remain on the
bread when lifted out, and fry in deep,
hot fat. They puff up like doughnuts,
but the bread loses itself in the cook-
ing. Serve with maple syrup or pow-
dered sugar.

EL, DORADO OLIVE OIL
can be freely used in all cooking oper-

mixture, a less quantity should be used.
In a general way no change is necessary
