SOUPS
"For soup is but the first of those delights which go to
make the coming bill of fare."
STOCK FOR SOUP.
1 lave a large pot on the back of the stove. Put in lean
beef in the proportion of I pound beef to I quart water.
Add pork rinds with all the fat taken off. This may cook
slowly two or three days. When cold skim off all the fat
and put into another vessel. This stock may be used for
all soups in which meat broth is required. By adding for
thickening either barley, rice, sago, macaroni or vermicelli,
you have any of these soups.
Mrs. F. L. Colver.
BOUILLON.
Two pounds lean beef chopped fine. Pour over it i
quart cold water, put in a porcelain kettle, cover tight and
let it simmer four hours. Strain off the tea and let it cool.
Beat the white of i egg and add to the tea; put it on the
stove and stir until it comes to a boil. Let it boil until it
becomes perfectly clear, skimming; then strain through a
fine napkin and season to taste.
Mrs. F. L. Colver
CONSOMMfi.
There are many ways of preparing this broth, but for
excellence and economy, practitioners will find this worthy
of attention : Procure from your butcher several good beef
bones well broken or sawed through, and a pound or two
of beef well chopped. Place the beef bones in a roasting or
dripping pan, add a pint or so of water, and place in a mod-
erate oven until the bones acquire a nice light brown color ;
then place in a large pot or stew-pan and cover with cold
water, when it will be easv to take the fat from the sr.j-
face; then bring to a boil, skim, and add vegetables accord-
ing to taste and convenience, such as a few onions, carrots,
and turnips ; also about i blade mace, 4 cloves, 8 allspice,
2 bay leaves, a sprig of thyme, and 2 of marjoram. When
this has simmered several hours take the beef previously
mentioned, add 2 eggs (yolks and whites), mix well in a
stew-pan, add a gill or so of cold water or broth, and strain
the stock just made into the mixture. Stir with a spoon,
place again on the stove and simmer for an hour or so;
then take a cloth, wet it well in hot water, wring it out
thoroughly, and strain the consomme gently through this,
taking care not to disturb the thick part. Place the broth
on the fire, bring to a boil, skim,' and serve with toast,
macaroni, poached eggs, julienne (vegetables shreded and
cooked n broth or salted water), rice,, barley, quenelles,
or in fact, any garniture which convenience and taste may
suggest. Consommes of game or fowl may be prepared in
the same manner.
Mrs. F. L. Colver.

nearly in halves. Rub salt well into the fish and let

20
-21-
thrcad and sew it up; lay it into a dish and put a few thin

white muslin, and after rubbing over with lemon juice and
-22-
sprinkling with salt, wrap in a piece of cheese cloth and

Mrs. F. L. Colver.
SAUTfi SMELTS— ANCHOVY SAUCE.
A dozen large smelts, washed and dried ; allow them to
marinate in a dressing composed of equal parts of olive
oil and lemon juice, highly seasoned, with salt and pepper,
for about fifteen or twenty minutes, then drain and dip in
heavy cream or beaten egg, and roll in cracker or bread
crumbs or flour and saute in hot butter. Remove to a hot
platter, and for the sauce add to the butter 2 tablespoons
flour, blend thoroughly ; stir in gradually 1 cup of stock
(chicken is best) and 1 1-3 teaspoons anchovy essence.
Allow the sauce to just begin to bubble, seasoning with
lemon juice, paprika and 2 tablespoons of minced parsley
as it is removed from fire. A. R. F.
SALMON SOUFFLE.
Place in the upper part of the double boiler 1 cup rich
milk, y 2 cup cream, and when about to boil add 1 scant
cup of grated bread crumbs, y 2 teaspoon salt, 1 saltspoon
white pepper, 3 grs. cayenne, 1 large cup flaked cooked
salmon, Yi teaspoon Worcestershire sauce ; stir and let
cook for a minute or two, then remove from fire and pour
on the well-beaten yolks of 3 or 4 eggs. Place over hot
water again for a minute or two, then allow to cool thor-
oughly. Half an hour before you wish to serve it fold
in lightly the stiffly whipped whites of the 3 eggs, pour into
a well-buttered baking dish and bake in a rather quick
oven for about half an hour, standing in a pan of boiling
water. Serve immediately with egg sandwiches and olives.
Two hard-boiled eggs chopped or grated may be added
10 the salmon before it is allowed to cool, in the morning
if wished. Mrs. F. R. Warren.
ROYAL HALIBUT.
Arrange in a baking dish 6 thin slices of salt pork, cov-
ering with 1 small onion sliced and a layer of minced celery ;
23
upon this place a 2-pound slice of halibut, pour over all a
generous cup of tomato catsup and bake for about forty
minutes, basting often. Ten or fifteen minutes before
serving cover fish with paste made from sifted bread
crumbs and melted butter and crisp to a golden brown.
Serve garnished with bunches of crisp cress and accom-
panied by the following sauce: After removing the fish
and pork, skim off the fat, leaving the vegetable puree
(there will be about four tablespoons), to which add I
cup brown stock, thicken with a scant tablespoon flour
moistened with cold stock. Season highly with paprika
and "Kitchen Bouquet."
Mrs. F. L. Colver.
TO FRY EELS.
After the eels have been skinned, wash in several waters
and dry on a linen towel, cut into lengths of about four or
five inches and roll in flour which has had a little salt sprin-
kled in it. Have your frying pan piping hot on the range,
with a small quantity of olive oil in it. Drop in the eels
and fry, turning at intervals till all are a golden brown.
They will require thorough cooking, as the flesh is very
concentrated. From fifteen to twenty minutes should suf-
fice. When done take out with a fork and lay them on a
sheet of white paper to drain off any superfluous oil. I
find the oil superior to any other kind of fat in frying fish,
as it requires but very little and keeps the fish from stick-
ing to the pan.
Mrs. C. C. Converse.
SALT MACKEREL IN CREAM.
Freshen as for broiling, then lay the fish in a baking
pan. To one mackerel add y 2 pint of new milk, put into
the oven and bake twenty-five minutes. Five minutes be-
fore taking up add a small piece of butter.
COD-FISH BALLS.
Peel 5 medium size potatoes, put on stove to boil, have
cup full of cod-fish, shredded and free from bones, lay
24
on top of potatoes and boil ; when done drain off water and
mash fine, season with butter and salt if needed. Stir into
this i egg beaten light, and whip all very light with spoon;
when cold form into balls, dipped into beaten egg, and roll

ENTIRE WHEAT BREAD,
i cake Fleischmann's yeast, 3 pints entire wheat flour,
1 cup lukewarm water, 2 teaspoons sugar,
1 cup lukewarm milk, I teaspoon salt.
Put milk, salt and sugar into bowl ; add to it water in
which the yeast has previously been dissolved. Then add
the flour gradually, reserving a little for use in kneading.
This dough should be kneaded thoroughly, but must be kept
soft. After kneading set in a warm place to rise for from
two to two and one-half hours. When light, turn out on a
floured kneading board, divide into two equal parts and
knead again thoroughly. Place in well-greased pans and set
to rise for from three-quarters of an hour to an hour. When
well risen bake for one hour in a slower oven than is re-
quired for white bread. After bread is baked, remove from
pans and cool by contact with the air on all sides. One
tablespoonful of butter may be added with the sugar, if de-
sired. If set over night, use */£ cake of yeast. In Summer.
use the liquid cold; in Winter, tepid. The entire process
takes four hours.
Note. — Entire wheat bread may be made by following
any good bread recipe and substituting whole wheat flour
for the ordinary wheat flour.
WHITE BREAD— Sponge Method.
(For use in the morning).
1 cake Fleischmann's yeast, 1 tablespoon salt,
i]/> qts. lukewarm water, 4^ qts. sifted flour.
Dissolve. the yeast in 1 quart of the lukewarm water and
add to it 2 quarts of the sifted flour, or sufficient to make an
ordinary sponge ; set aside to rise for about two hours or
two hours and a half. When well risen, add to it the pint
of lukewarm water in which the salt has been dissolved ;
then add the remainder of the flour to make a moderately
stiff dough. Knead thoroughly and set aside to rise for
from one and one-half to two hours. When light, turn out
on a well floured kneading board and knead thoroughly ; di-
vide into four equal parts and place in well greased baking
-82-
pans. Let rise again for about one hour. When light, bake
for one hour in a moderate oven. After bread is baked, re-
move the loaves from the pans and lean them against the
empty pans, so as to cool the loaves by contact with the air
on all sides. This recipe makes four large loaves. The
whole process takes from six to six and one-half hours, and,
if followed closely, will produce very good results.

SUGGESTIONS IN CAKE MAKING.
The smaller the cake the hotter the oven should be.
Large, rich cakes require very slow baking.
Grease cake pans with lard or drippings, as butter will
be likely to make the cake stick, owing to the salt in it.
In making fruit cake, add the fruit before putting in the
flour, as this will prevent it falling to the bottom of the cake.
Flouring the fruit is unnecessary unless the fruit is damp.
In creaming butter and sugar when the butter is too
hard to blend easily warm the bowl and if necessary, warm
the sugar, but never warm the butter as this will change both
texture and flavor of the cake.
To get fine grained cake, beat thoroughly after the flour
is added.
i5i
Always sift flour before measuring — then it may be
sifted again with the baking powder to ensure being thor-
oughly blended.
For the rich cake that seems about to fall try inverting
it on the cake board when it has partially cooled and prop
the edges of the pan so the cake is an inch or so above the
board. If the pan is floured before the cake is put in, the
cake will cling to the bottom of the pan and it will often
offset the tendencv to fall to invert and cool in this manner.

MEXICAN KISSES.
Put 2 pounds maple sugar and Yi pint sweet cream into
a graniteware sauce pan and place over a slow fire. After
it has boiled for ten minutes, test it by taking a small por-
tion of it in a small saucer, and stirring it briskly until you
can form it into a soft ball in your fingers. Remove from
the fire and stir briskly until it begins to thicken. Have
ready 2 cups of pecans, cut not chopped, and add to the
candy ; stir again until it is hard to stir. Then drop from a
spoon on waxed paper. If maple sugar cannot be obtained,
use coffee, confectioner's sugar and maple extract.
Miss Carolyn C. Donally.
TO GLACfi FRUITS AND NUTS.
Let boil in a porcelain lined kettle between ten and fif-
teen minutes without stirring, i pound of granulated sugar

a small portion upon end of spoon, dipping into cold water

spoon of lemon juice, and stand in bowl of hot water. Use
sections of oranges, white grapes, pineapples or cherries
which are thoroughly dry and set aside to dry upon oiled
paper in a warm dry place. Dip almonds, walnuts or pecans
the same way. Miss L. F. Pond.

l cup water and a scant j/> teaspoon of the best cream of
tartar. Put it over a slow fire until it melts. Take a damp
cloth and carefully wipe all the granules from sides of
sauce pan ; then skim. Then place it over a quick fire and
boil for a few minutes ; then test it by droping a little of
the syrup in a cup of ice water. If it forms in a soft mass
so that you can lift it from the cup and it remains in a soft
ball in the fingers, remove it from the fire and pour it into
deep soup plates, and put it aside to cool. Be sure not to
cool too quickly in a frosty atmosphere as it may cause it
to grain. Test the syrup by putting your hand on bottom
of plate. When it is about lukewarm, stir briskly with a
large silver fork, until you cannot beat it any more, then
take it on a large platter, or marble slab, and knead it like
bread for a few moments. It should be creamy, resembling
lard; if grainy it is too hard. If put in a porcelain dish
or jar and covered with oiled paper, and a tight cover, it
will keep for weeks. This quantity will make less than 2
pounds of fondant. If you desire more candy repeat the
quantity as many times as you desire, as I have found that
with the small quantity I have the best results.
Miss Carolyn C. Donally.
CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINTS.
Take some fondant ; put in a few drops of oil of pepper-
mint ; then mould into round flat discs the size of a quarter.
Melt some fondant and add some syrup and to this add
enough melted, unsweetened chocolate to make a rich
chocolate color. Be careful to only melt the chocolate and
fondant. Dip quickly and drop on oiled paper. The
melted chocolate and fondant can be used for dipping any
bon-bons or candy desired.
Miss Carolyn C. Donally.
BON-BONS.

nuts, candied fruit, ginger or white raisins; mould them
into round balls. Take some fondant and put it in a small

Two heaping cups of powdered sugar
One pint of finely chopped meat, packed

leaving the door open.
