PREFACE


In this, my book, I have endeavored to give expression to the art of
cookery as developed in recent years in keeping with the importance of
the catering business, in particular the hotel business, which, in
America, now leads the world.

I have been fortunate in studying under the great masters of the art in
Europe and America; and since my graduation as Chef I have made several
journeys of observation to New York, and to England, France and
Switzerland to learn the new in cooking and catering.

I have named my book The Hotel St. Francis Cook Book in compliment to
the house which has given me in so generous measure the opportunity to
produce and reproduce, always with the object of reflecting a cuisine
that is the best possible.

     VICTOR HIRTZLER.

Remove the fillets to a platter, taking care that the lobster does not

=Bain-marie.= This is a term used in cookery for a vessel holding hot
water in which another vessel may be heated at a temperature not above
that of boiling water. Different dishes are variously allowed to stand,
cook or bake in bain-marie. For example, Hollandaise sauce should be
kept in bain-marie in hot water. Hollandaise or Bearnaise sauce, if kept
in boiling water, would turn. A cream soup should be kept in boiling
water, as extra cooking will not harm it. Timbale of chicken, custard
for soup, or cup custard, should be cooked in bain-marie.

three ounces of butter, and simmer for thirty minutes. Then add three
pints of well-seasoned chicken broth, and boil for one hour. Strain
through a fine sieve. Serve in a separate dish small squares of bread
fried in butter.

=Roast leg of mutton.= The leg of mutton should hang in the ice box at
least four days before using. If too fresh it will be tough. Rub the

roasting pan, one sliced onion, one sliced carrot, one bay leaf and two
cloves. Now put in the mutton, with a piece of butter on top, and place
in oven to roast. Baste continually. It will require from forty-five to
sixty minutes to cook. If desired well done cook for another thirty

parsley, chervil, and a little finely sliced chives, and a sauce of
one-third vinegar and two-thirds olive oil.

=Stuffed breast of veal, au jus.= Have your butcher prepare a breast of
veal ready for stuffing. Use the same dressing as for chicken, and sew
up the end so the dressing will not fall out while roasting. Put in the
roasting pan one sliced onion and one carrot. Put in the veal and
sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put bits of butter all over the top and
roast in oven, basting often. It will take about an hour to cook in a

and just enough tarragon vinegar to wet the mixture. Let stand for one
hour, drain off the liquid, if any, and form the salad in pyramid shape
in the bowl. Spread some thick mayonnaise over all, and garnish with
boiled potatoes and truffles, cut like a five-cent piece, linking one to
the other around the base of the salad like a chain. On top put a small
flower of a boiled and seasoned cauliflower, and serve very cold.

=Caramel custard.= Put two ounces of sugar in a copper pan and cook
until it is brown in color, then pour into a custard mould and allow to
become cold. Mix four eggs with one-quarter of a pound of sugar, flavor
with vanilla, add one pint of milk, and strain. Pour over the burned
sugar, and fill the mould. Put in bain-marie and cook until firm. When
cool, reverse the custard on a dish, and serve. The caramel at the
bottom of the mould will serve as a sauce.

in very small dice, and six anchovies in small squares. Put in a bowl,

parsley and chervil chopped fine, and one spoonful of vinegar and two of
olive oil. Mix well and pour over the tomatoes.

=Sorrel.= Sorrel is a fine vegetable for the promotion of health. Remove
the stems from a peck of sorrel and wash the leaves in four different
waters, to remove all the sand. Have a kettle with salted water on the
fire. Put the sorrel into the boiling water and cook for ten minutes,
stirring often. Pour off the water and let stand in the colander fifteen
minutes so it will drain dry, then strain through a fine sieve. Then put
the sorrel in a sauce pan with three ounces of butter and bring to the
boiling point. Season with salt and pepper, and bind with two whole
eggs, beaten. Do not let it boil after adding the eggs, but let it get

a towel, so the oil can drain off, and season with salt. The eggs should
be soft inside, like a poached egg.

=Anchovy sauce.= To a cup of cream add one spoonful of essence of
anchovies, or one teaspoonful of anchovy paste. Anchovy sauce is also
made with sauce Allemande, white wine sauce, or even a brown sauce, if

enough to make them crisp. Lay them on a napkin, sprinkle with salt, and

butter sandwiches and sauce Tartar or remoulade.

=Pot au feu.= Put in a pot one brisket of beef; or five pounds of short
ribs of beef; two gallons of cold water, and a handful of salt. Bring

boiling point is reached add two whole carrots, two turnips, three
stalks of leeks, one stalk of celery, a bouquet garni, one small head of
Savoy cabbage, and two large onions, all well washed. Bring to the
boiling point again, cover, and put on the side of the stove where it
will simmer slowly. The vegetables will be done before the meat, so when
they are cooked remove them and throw out the bouquet garni. Let the
beef cook until very soft. Cut the vegetables, with the exception of the
onions, in thin slices; and when the beef is done strain the broth over
the vegetables. Give it another boil, season well, add some chopped

baker will bake it for you in a brick oven, and it will be a dish quite
different from the usual roasted pork. If necessary, put it in your own
oven, baking for not less than four hours with a slow, even fire.
However, it is preferable to have it baked in a brick oven.

=Fried chicken, Vienna style.= Cut a chicken in six pieces; two legs,
two wings, and two pieces of breast. Season with salt and pepper, roll
in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally in fresh bread crumbs. Put in
a saute pan in two spoonfuls of hot butter, and fry. When done dish up
on a platter, garnish with corn fritters, and serve sauce supreme
separate.

=Peas, farmer style.= Shell enough peas to make two cupsful. Take twelve
firm large asparagus tips, an onion, a firm head of lettuce cut fine,

of half a small lemon. If crab is used, cut the meat in small pieces,

juice of oysters for the foundation of the sauce, begin with a cup and a
half of cream and water in equal proportions, thicken with corn starch,
then add the yolks of eggs, etc., as above. The oysters or the crab meat

some slices of the white hearts of firm heads of lettuce. Lay on top
some canned Spanish pimentos, using the brilliant red variety, which is

beans, young carrots, etc. Also add some kind of potatoes.

=Consomme Valentienne.= Make some small dumplings of cream puff paste
and boil in salt water for two minutes. Cook some lettuce, cut Julienne
style, in consomme. Boil some Italian paste. Serve equal parts of each
in boiling consomme.

=Suggestions and recipes for preserves, jellies and pickles.= For jelly
select your fruit before it is too ripe, as the flavor will then be much
better. Put it on the stove and bring to a heat, to facilitate the easy
extraction of the juice. Have a funnel-shaped bag made of flannel, to
strain the juice through. The first time it is strained use a wire sieve
with a revolving wire to crush the fruit. The juice should always be
strained twice, and the second time if the flannel bag is used, and it
is allowed to hang over night and drip, it will be much clearer. Put on
the juice over a good fire and allow it to come to a heat, then add the
sugar, which should be first heated in the oven. Boil rapidly in a pan
with a very large bottom, so that as much surface can be on the stove as
possible. If it is desired that the color be light add a little
gelatine. From fifteen to twenty minutes is long enough to boil it, but
it should not stop boiling during this time. Better success will
probably be had if the jelly is cooked in small quantities. After
pouring the jelly in glasses set in the hot sun until set, and then
cover with melted paraffine.

If corn starch be put in the juice before adding the sugar it will make
it clearer. Use two teaspoonfuls in two tablespoonfuls of water, to
three pints of juice. A teaspoonful of sugar on top of jelly, in the
glass, prevents moulding. (To one pint of juice 11/2 lbs. sugar).

=Preserves.= Small stone jars are best for preserves. If glass jars are
used they should be wrapped in paper to exclude the light. To prevent
preserves from sugaring add a little tartaric acid after they are
cooked.

=Pickles.= Cider vinegar is best for pickles. If vinegar is too strong
dilute it with water. The pickles should be tightly sealed to prevent
the air reaching the vinegar, as this kills it. The vinegar should
always be poured on hot, just as it comes to the first scald--never
allowing it to boil.

Never put up pickles in anything that has held grease; and never let
them freeze. If pickles are put into brine it should be strong enough to
bear an egg. To make the brine, use a heaping pint of salt to each
gallon of water. Put the pickles in bottles, and seal while the brine is
hot. A half bushel of grape leaves added to the barrel of salt pickles
will keep them sound and firm. A slice of horseradish added to each jar
or bottle of vinegar pickles will keep the vinegar clear.

=Broiled honeycomb tripe, Chili sauce.= Roll four pieces of well
seasoned boiled tripe in oil, then in fresh bread crumbs, and then
broil. Heat one-half bottle of Chili sauce, pour on a platter and lay
the tripe on top.

=Preserves. Amount of fruit required.= Seven and one-half pounds of
cherries and seven and one-half pounds of sugar will make one gallon of
preserves.

Fourteen pounds of berries and fourteen pounds of sugar will make five
quarts of jam.

Two quarts of stemmed currants will make two pints of juice. Added to
two pounds of sugar it will make three tumblers of jelly.

Always wash strawberries before removing the hulls, and then put in a
colander to drain. Always select strawberries for their flavor rather
than for their size.

=Strawberry preserves.= Prepare a small quantity at a time to secure the
best results. Make a syrup in a kettle with two pounds of cane sugar and
half a cup of water. Drop the berries into it and cook rapidly for
twenty minutes. Do not stir, but remove any scum which may arise. After
twenty minutes remove the berries and put in tumblers. Cook the syrup
to a jelly and fill up the tumblers with it. Allow to become cold before
covering.

=Blackberry jam.= Four quarts of blackberries, two quarts of nice cooked
apples, four quarts of cane sugar. Boil for twenty-five or thirty
minutes.

=Raspberry or loganberry jam.= In making raspberry jam, if two-thirds
red raspberries and one-third currants are used the jam will be better,
as the berries alone do not contain enough acid. Loganberries are
sufficiently acid. Mash the fruit well, and boil it for twenty minutes.
Weigh, and to every pound of fruit use three-quarters of a pound of
sugar. Boil until when some is placed on a saucer no juice will gather
around it. Put in small jars or glasses, in the same manner as jelly.

=Canned strawberries.= Wash well before hulling. Weigh, and to each
pound of berries add one-quarter pound of cane sugar. Boil for fifteen
minutes. Put in pint jars and seal while hot.

=Apple jelly.= Take ripe Belleflower, or other fine-flavored cooking
apples. Cut in quarters and remove the cores. Drop in water as fast as
cut, to prevent them from turning black. Add a little lemon juice to the
water. When all are ready drain off the water, and put the apples in a
copper preserving kettle. Pour a little water over them and cook until
soft, then strain through a flannel bag. Boil the juice with an equal
weight of sugar, until it jells, and pour while hot into jelly glasses.

=Blackberry jelly.= Heat the berries to the boiling point, mash, and
strain through a flannel bag. Add an equal weight of sugar to the juice,
and boil briskly for twenty-five minutes. Pour into glasses while hot.

hole in the center and insert a little chimney made of a small piece of
stiff paper; otherwise the dough will close while cooking. Put in the

wooden shoes, fried in hot swimming lard, and filled with puree of
spinach. Pour sauce Madere over the meat.

=Fillet of sole, a la Francaise.= Lay four fillets of sole flat on a
table, spread with fish forcemeat (see Timbale of bass), roll up and
place in a buttered pan. Season with salt and white pepper, add one-half
glass of white wine and one-half cup of fish stock, bouillon or water.
Cover with buttered paper, and set in oven for fifteen minutes. Then
take out and place the fillets on a platter. Add to the pan one pint of
white wine sauce, boil for two minutes, and strain. Then add to the

mushrooms, and two sliced truffles. Pour the sauce over the fish, and

with a whip, add slowly to the broth, put on a slow fire and bring to
the boiling point. This serves to clarify the broth. Then strain, and

and three pounds of shin of beef, one bouquet garni, a handful of salt,
and two gallons of water. Cook until the hen and beef are soft, when
they may be removed. When the pig's feet are done take out the bone, the
fat and the lean meat, so nothing is left but the skin. Cut the skin in
small squares, or round pieces the size of a dime. Cut some carrots in
the same shape, and boil in salted water until soft. Put one pound of
chopped beef in a casserole, add the whites of six eggs, stir well, add
slowly the strained broth, and bring to a boil. This will clarify it.
Season with salt and Cayenne pepper to taste. Boil for fifteen minutes,
strain through a cheese cloth into another pot, bring to a boil, and
reduce slowly for half an hour. Mix two spoonfuls of arrow root and a
cup of sherry wine well together, and let run slowly into the boiling

quarts of broth from the bones and trimmings. Heat three ounces of
butter in a casserole, add the cut-up breast of chicken, and simmer for

=To preserve limes.= Remove the cores from the limes with a small tin
tube made for the purpose. Then cover with salad water, using a large
handful of salt to the gallon. Soak for four or five hours; then drain
off the water, and throw the limes into boiling water. As soon as they
are soft take them out, one by one, and drop them into cold water.
Change the cold water several times. To turn the limes green again put
two gallons of water in a copper pan, add two large handfuls of cooking
salt, one cup of vinegar, and several handfuls of fresh spinach. Put the
pan on the fire and boil for a few minutes, then put the limes in the
pan, and boil up several times. Remove from the fire, and allow to stand
until cold; when the limes will have resumed their natural color. Drain
off the liquid and let the limes soak in fresh water for about fourteen
hours, changing the water frequently. Prepare a fifteen degree syrup,
testing with a syrup gauge or cooking thermometer; and when boiling
throw the limes into this, boil up, and then put into a vessel and leave
for twelve hours. Then pour off the syrup, and boil it to sixteen
degrees, pour it over the limes again, leaving it for twelve hours. Then
drain and boil again to twenty degrees, pour over the limes, stand for
twelve hours, and continue every twelve hours until thirty-two degrees
are reached. Then boil for two minutes, and pour into small stone jars.
Seal hermetically when cool.

=Jellied cherries.= Stone three pounds of cherries. Crush a handful of
the cherry stones, and tie in a gauze bag. Put a pound of currant juice
on the fire, add the crushed cherry stones, and steep. Put the cherries
in a copper pan over a slow fire, and reduce one-half. Then add three
pounds of granulated cane sugar and the currant juice, after the gauze
bag has been removed; and boil steadily until a little tried on a saucer
will not spread. Add half a gill of kirschwasser, and pour at once into
jelly glasses. Place in a cool place, and when cold pour melted
paraffine over the top and cover tightly.

=Candied lemon or orange peels.= Put a sufficient quantity of lemon or
orange peels on the fire with enough water to cover. Boil until soft to
the touch, then drain, and put in cold water and soak for twenty-four
hours, changing the water often. Then pour off the water, and put the
peels in an earthern jar, covering with a fifteen degree boiling syrup.
Use a syrup gauge or cooking thermometer to determine the density. Let
the peels stand for twelve hours, then pour off the syrup and boil it up
to eighteen degrees. Pour again over the peels and let it set for twelve
hours. Repeat this operation six or seven times, gradually increasing
the density of the syrup until it reaches thirty-two degrees. The last
time prepare a fresh thirty-two degree syrup. Drain the old syrup from
the peels, add them to the fresh boiling syrup, and boil up once. Then
put the peels in stone jars or pots, cover with the syrup, and seal when
cold.

=Fig jam.= Select large white firm figs, remove the stems, and cut in
quarters. Dissolve a half pound of sugar in a little water for each
pound of figs. Bring to a boil, then add the figs and boil steadily
until the marmalade coats the spoon and drops from it in beads. Then
pour into hot jelly glasses.

=Blackberry cordial, for medicinal purposes.= Heat and strain through
fine cheese cloth some ripe blackberries. To one pint of juice add one
pound of granulated sugar, one-fourth ounce of powdered cinnamon,
one-fourth ounce of mace, and one teaspoonful of cloves. Boil all
together for twenty minutes, strain, and to each pint add a jill of
French brandy. Put up in small bottles.

=Puff paste roses.= Roll out some puff paste about one-eighth inch
thick, and cut with a star cutter. Brush over with a little water, and
fold the points of the stars to the center. Bake, and when nearly done
dust with powdered sugar, and return to oven to finish baking. The cakes
will puff up like a rose. Fill with jelly and serve.

=Consomme Alexandria.= Add one cupful of boiled white meat of chicken,
cut in small dices, to three pints of consomme brunoise.

=Orange or lemon brandy, for flavoring.= Peel very thin the yellow
outside from oranges or lemons. The inner white skin is not good. Crush
with a little granulated sugar. Put in a bottle and cover with strong
brandy. In the same manner can be prepared the kernels of cherries,
plums, apricots or peaches. Pound the kernels slightly before putting
them in the brandy.

=Glace fruit.= Be very particular in selecting the fruit. Cherries
should be large and not quite ripe, and without blemishes; and the
stones must be removed. Apricots and peaches should be of medium size,
and almost green. Make as small a hole as possible when removing the
stones. Pears should be peeled, and the stems left on. Figs should be
green. Strawberries should be very green, but full grown; wash and dry
well, and leave the stems on. Nectarines should be green, and the stones
removed. Any hard green plums may be used, but leave their stones in.
Cut pineapple in thick slices, remove the core, and any brown outside
spots. All fruit should be thoroughly washed and dried before being
prepared. It is well to make new syrup for each kind of fruit. To make
the syrup boil two pounds of granulated sugar and two gills of water for
eight minutes. Put the fruit in the syrup piece by piece; do not let it
stop boiling; and wait a few seconds between each piece, so the syrup
will boil up over the fruit. Then remove piece by piece in the same
order as placed in the kettle. Use a silver spoon or an aluminum skimmer
to handle the fruit, and under no circumstances use a fork. Place the
fruit on a thick piece of waxed paper, and set in a cool place. Repeat
the process the next day, adding a pound of sugar and a gill of water to
the syrup of the day before. Allow the fruit to boil hard for a minute,
and remove as before. This must be continued for about eight days before
the fruit will have absorbed enough sugar, and not be mushy. When the
fruit is finished line a broad shallow stone jar with waxed paper, lay
the fruit in singly, not allowing the pieces to touch, put waxed paper
between the layers, and cover closely.

=Baked pears, for canning.= Wash as many ripe, firm unspecked pears as
will fill a baking pan. Fill the pan almost full of boiling water.
Sweeten as though for immediate use. Set the pan in the oven, baste
frequently, and turn the pears around so they will brown lightly and
evenly. Add a few cloves and a small stick of cinnamon. When the pears
are very tender and almost candied, pack in hot glass jars, and pour the
boiling syrup over them. Be sure to have enough thick syrup to cover the
fruit. Seal while hot. Should the water evaporate too much while
cooking, add a little more from time to time.

cloves, a bouquet garni, a stalk of leek and three leaves of celery, a

the fish, and pour the remainder of the sauce on top. The sauce should

lay on each steak a slice of goose liver saute in butter. Pour a little
sauce Madere over all.

=Baked brown bread pudding.= One quart of graham bread crumbs, one quart
of milk, one gill of molasses, two ounces of butter, two ounces of
sugar, three eggs, and one-half teaspoonful of cinnamon. Make the crumbs
very fine. Then melt the butter in the milk, with the sugar, molasses,
cinnamon, and eggs. Then stir in the crumbs, and bake in buttered moulds
for about one-half hour. Serve hot, with cream sauce flavored with a
little cinnamon.

=Sweet grape juice.= Crush twenty pounds of Concord grapes in three
quarts of water, and put them in a porcelain kettle. Set the kettle on
the fire, and stir well until it reaches the boiling point; then allow
it to simmer for fifteen or twenty minutes. Strain through a cloth, and
add three pounds of white sugar. When the sugar is dissolved strain
again through a cloth, and heat to the boiling point. Pour into hot pint
or quart bottles, and seal instantly with new corks, only. After the
corks have been inserted dip the necks of the bottles into hot sealing
wax.

violets. Boil one and one-half pounds of granulated sugar, until a
little dropped in cold water makes a soft ball. Then throw the violets
into the sugar, remove the pan from the fire for a moment, and stir
gently. Then return the pan to the fire, boil up once, and then change
the violets immediately to another vessel. Let them stand over night,
and then drain off the syrup through a sieve. Put the syrup in a copper
pan, add a cupful of sugar, and cook until it hardens in water. Then put
in the violets, change to another vessel, and allow to stand again over
night. Again drain off the syrup, and boil it for a few minutes. Then
add the violets, and remove the pan at once from the fire, and stir
lightly until it begins to crystalize. Then pour the whole on sheets of
paper, shake, and separate the flowers carefully with the fingers. When
dry pick them from the sugar, arrange on a wire grating, and allow them
to become cool.

=Canned minced meat.= Three pounds of boiled beef, one pound of beef
suet, three pounds of brown sugar, one-half peck of apples, two pounds
of raisins, one pound of currants, one pound of citron, one grated
nutmeg, one tablespoonful of powdered mace, and allspice and cinnamon to
suit the taste. Chop the meat, suet and apples, slice the citron fine,

jars. Seal while hot, and set away in a cool dark place.

sauce. Season with salt and pepper, add the yolk of one egg and two
spoonfuls of cream, but do not boil. Mix in the scallops, and serve.

cup of water, and add to the puree. Taste to see if sweet enough. Freeze

between courses; although the latter manner of serving ices is going out

_The Epicurean_

_By_ CHAS. RANHOFER

An All-Around Cook Book for the Kitchen, Pastry Room, Pantry, Storeroom,
and Beverage Room


The opening chapter is on "Table Service," and leads off with the
arrangement of the bill of fare, followed with a chapter on wines,
including a list of the different wines appropriate for the different
courses, and the wines usually called for at dinners of Americans,
Frenchmen and Germans, respectively. This is followed by a system of
menu-compiling for course dinners ranging from 4 to 36 covers, and
stating the time it should take to serve the dinners.

How to lay and decorate the table; the seating of the host and guests;
the fixing of the sideboard; the duties of the steward and waiters;
dinner table etiquette, the manner of serving the different courses,
including wines, and the windup with the tea service are cleverly
explained. The French and Russian service are explained and a list is
presented of the china, glassware, silver, etc., required for a dinner
of twenty-four persons. Next comes valuable information regarding
breakfasts, luncheons and suppers.


Note the Diversity of the Contents

      There is a table of supplies in which is given the French
      and English names of the foods and the time of year each is
      in season. This table includes "fish and shell fish,"
      "poultry," "fruits," "game," "meats," and "vegetables."
      This is followed with a model market list to show at a
      glance quantities received, on hand, and needed.

      We have so far got to page 24 and we come to "Bills of
      Fare." These occupy 144 pages and present specimens for
      breakfasts, luncheons, dinners, buffet or standing suppers,
      collations, hunting parties, garden parties served ambigue,
      sit down suppers, and dancing parties, including the
      refreshments and supper. Every dish is numbered to
      correspond with a recipe for its preparation in another
      part of the book, the 3,715 recipes given being all
      represented in these bills of fare.

      Next comes a chapter on "Elementary Methods," in which is
      taught such information as how to peel almonds, to blanch
      vegetables, to make paste borders, to prepare bouchees, to
      braise, bread, carve, mold jellies, make vegetable colors,
      prepare different style creams, make puff paste, beat up
      eggs, clean fish, prepare forcemeats and bread stuffing and
      gelatines, grate cheese, cook icing, prepare jellies, cut
      fat pork for larding, lard meat, poultry and game, cut
      lemons, dress meringues, make mince meat, flute mushrooms,
      stone olives, fix parsley for garnishing, make almond and
      many other pastes; press meats, gelatines, breasts,
      sweetbreads, etc., prepare quenelles, clean currants,
      reduce and strain sauces, prepare rissoles, cut roots with
      a spoon and with a vegetable cutter; to prepare salpicon;
      to scald and sieve; the use of spices, aromatics and
      seasonings for cooking purposes; to cast and color
      stearine, to strain purees, cook sugar, make tarts; make
      thickenings for soups, sauces and stews; to line and bake
      timbale crusts, brush and peel truffles, dress, singe and
      truss poultry and game for entrees and roasting; make
      vol-au-vent crust, white stock for meats and vegetables,
      etc., etc., etc.

      Then follows a chapter on "Kitchen Utensils," in which
      about every known article of kitchen furniture and
      equipment (when the book was written) is described and
      illustrated. This includes the cold storage department, as
      well. Next comes the department of "Soups," of which the
      making of two hundred kinds is explained. This is followed
      by "Sauces--Stocks, Essences and Auxiliaries," for which
      251 recipes are given. Following the sauces is a department
      of "garnishings," for which there are 133 recipes. Next is
      a chapter on "Side Dishes," in which recipes for 63 cold
      and 158 hot are given. Then follows a chapter on "Mollusks
      and Crustaceans," with 101 recipes. A chapter on "Fish"
      comes next with 218 recipes. This is followed with chapters
      on "Beef," 165 recipes; "Veal," 165 recipes; "Mutton," 75
      recipes; "Lamb," 109 recipes; "Pork," 48 recipes;
      "Poultry," 224 recipes; and "Game," 163 recipes. As yet we
      have got only about half way through the book. The next
      chapter is headed "Miscellaneous Entrees," and gives 198
      recipes. Next is a department of "Cold Service," including
      garnishings for cold dishes, the making of cooked salads,
      cooked and raw vegetable salads, green salads, etc. There
      are 267 recipes in this department. Following comes a
      chapter on "Vegetables," with 172 recipes. Then one on
      "Eggs," with 100 different ways of cooking. Then comes a
      chapter headed "Farinaceous," with 37 recipes. This is
      followed with "Sweet Entremets," of which there are recipes
      for 134 hot and 99 cold.

      We now come to the "Pastry," beginning with large cakes for
      entremets, 40 recipes; breakfast cakes, 19 recipes; small
      cakes for entremets, 52 recipes; tea cakes, 24 recipes; and
      fancy cakes, 40 recipes.

      Next is the "Bakery" department with 17 recipes, together
      with full information regarding utensils, yeast, ferment,
      leaves, etc., etc.

      Then follows a chapter on "Ices," including "Iced Drinks,"
      with 189 recipes. Following this is a department of
      "Confectionery," with 90 recipes, including large pieces,
      candies, preserves, salted almonds, cheeses and fresh
      fruits, chocolate, coffees, raccahout, teas, etc.

      Then follows a very interesting chapter on "Wines," with
      information regarding the care of bottling, clarifying,
      decanting, and freezing; punches, dessert, drinks, etc.

      This is followed with a pictorial display of "last century"
      tables, and a "Collection of Delmonico's Menus," occupying
      64 pages of the book.

      The volume ends with a comprehensive index occupying 44
      double column pages.

The book is profusely illustrated--there being no less than 806 cuts
interspersed among the reading matter. The pictures are very good of
their kind, too. Another most excellent feature of this great cook book
is that every recipe in it appears under a good, honest English name,
alongside of which is the translation of it into the French.

     This is the title in brief of "Paul Richards' Book
     of Breads, Cakes, Pastries, Ices and Sweetmeats,
     Especially Adapted for Hotel and Catering Purposes."
     The author is known as one of the most
     skillful all around bakers, pastry cooks and confectioners
     in America, and has demonstrated the
     quality of his work in leading hotels. In writing
     this book he took particular pains to have the

     that all who read them may readily understand
     and work from them. The book is in seven parts.
     Part I is devoted to fruit jellies and preserves;
     jams, jellies, compotes and syrups; preserved
     crushed fruits for sherbets and ices; preserving
     pie fruits; sugar boiling degrees; colors. Part II,

     Pastry for the Restaurant (Richards)                        $1.00

     A vest pocket book of 158 pages, is, as its title
     indicates, especially produced for the use of bakers
     employed in restaurants and European plan
     hotels. The style of work required for the American
     plan hotel with table d'hote meal, and that
     for the European plan hotel restaurant, where
     each article is sold for a separate price, has
     brought about a demand for a book with recipes
     and methods especially adapted for the preparation
     of bakery and pastry goods for individual
     sale. The first chapter is devoted to French
     pastries, which are now so generally sold, yet so
     little understood, because of the misnomer title;
     then follows cakes and tarts of every kind; pies,
     in great variety; puddings, hot and cold; ices,
     ice creams, and many specialties, all set forth
     with ingredients, quantities, and methods of mixing
     and preparing, and instructions for oven or
     temperature control. Mr. Richards' other books
     have become standard the world over, and this
     one will be equally reliable. The index to this
     book makes a very complete reference to popular
     pastry goods and will be found valuable as a reminder.
     The book is printed on bond paper.

     Whether you make your own ice cream or buy it
     on specification from a local manufacturer, you
     need this book. It has many practical suggestions
     for retailing and service; also special chapters
     on the selection of manufacturing and storage
     equipment. There are 23 pages of pictures of
     specialty dishes. The book shows how high grade
     frozen foods can be made economically and advantageously
     in small quantity, as in the hotel
     or restaurant. It is a practical handbook on the
     making of ice cream, and is written in non-technical
     language so that it can be easily understood
     by those not familiar with ice cream production.
     The formulas are written for use in a
     forty-quart freezer, but may be easily adapted
     to one-half or one-quarter that amount, or for
     even smaller quantity. The recipes are carefully
     standardized and have been successfully used to
     yield products of uniformly high quality that can
     be sold at a consistent profit. For those who buy
     ice cream from a local manufacturer, and want
     to control the quality, _Ice Cream For Small Plants_
     enables them to specify formulas for an almost
     unlimited variety of frozen desserts. 180 pages,
     5 x 71/2 inches, durable cloth binding.

     by his employers, who said they believed
     him to have no superior as a first-class workman.

     Gastronomy, and ten other culinary books that
     have become standard in Europe, and that have

     for a book that would tell how to prepare savory
     dishes from inexpensive materials at small cost;
     and, in particular, how to use up leftovers; by
     which is meant good cooked foods not served at
     a previous meal, and which have not in any way
     lost their marketable value in the sense of deterioration
     of quality, but which can be served
     in hotel or restaurant in the same appetizing
     manner that leftovers are served in well-to-do
     families. Mr. Vachon was selected to write this

     into hotel advertising ever made available. It is
     the only book which treats the problem of selling

     appropriation, media selection, and agency contact.

     of the advertising picture. His book brings the
     two into sharp focus and shows their proper relationship....
     Anyone who is in any way affected
     by hotel advertising should be sure to have on
     hand a copy of "THE ADVERTISING OF
     HOTELS" for study, reference, and guidance.

Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone.  For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

     www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
