They are reliable, as nearly every one -has been used by me at different times. My experience in the work has -prompted me to issue this book, every part of which has been dictated -by me, and carefully written down by my friend, Louise A. Smith. - - - MARGARET BROWN. - - - - - -QUANTITY FOR A - -RECEPTION OR EVENING PARTY - -OF 225 PERSONS. - - -14 dozen Croquettes; 1 Boned Turkey; 8 quarts Terrapin. - - - (Six turkeys, 2-1/2 chickens, 6 dozen stalks of celery, - 6 heads of lettuce, 3 half-pint bottles of olive oil are - required for chicken salad; 2-1/2 dozen eggs for the - dressing and garnishing. Parsley can also be used for - garnishing the dishes.) - - [This quantity can be increased or lessened in proportion to - the above number.] - - - -FOR A SPRING LUNCH. - -Little Neck clams or deviled crabs; patties; spring chickens; squabs; -pate de foie gras, or a bird glace; ices and fruits. - - -DINNER FOR 12 PERSONS. - -Oysters (Blue Point), 5 or 6 on a plate; Julienne soup or puree of -chicken or asparagus, followed by a course of fish; patties, either -chicken or mushroom. For filet de boeuf, take 5 or 6 pounds fillet. In -the spring garnish this dish with mushrooms, or asparagus and French -potatoes; macaroni timbale; sweetbreads, larded and roasted, served -with pease; supreme of chicken; salad and crushed chunks; cheese -souffle; ices, fruits, coffee. - - -A SPRING BREAKFAST. - -Oranges with scalloped peel; broiled fish cutlets and potato -croquettes; lamb chops and pease (French chops); vol-au-vents of -sweetbreads; broiled squabs; waffles and coffee; cheese, straws, ices. - -[Illustration] - - - - -MARGARET BROWN'S FRENCH COOKERY BOOK. - - -No. 1. - -OX TAIL SOUP. - -Soak 3 tails in warm water. Put into a gallon stewpan 8 cloves, 2 -onions, 1 teaspoonful each of allspice and black pepper, and the tails -cover with cold water. Skim often and carefully. Let simmer gently -until the meat is tender and leaves the bones easily. This will take 2 -hours. When done take out the meat and cut it off the bones. Skim the -broth and strain it through a sieve. To thicken it put in flour and -butter, or 2 tablespoonfuls of the fat you have taken off the broth -into a clean stewpan, with as much flour as will make a paste. Stir -well over the fire; then pour in the broth slowly while stirring. Let -it simmer for one-half hour; skim, and strain through a sieve. Put in -the meat with a tablespoonful of mushroom catsup, a glass of wine; -season with salt. - - -No. 2. - -MOCK TURTLE. - -Get a calf's head with skin on, take out the brains, wash the head -several times in cold water, let it soak one hour in spring water, -then lay in a stewpan, and cover with cold water, and half a gallon -over. Take off the scum that rises as it warms. Let it boil for one -hour, take it up and, when almost cold, cut the head into pieces one -and a half inches, and the tongue into mouthfuls, or make a side dish -of tongue and brains. When the head is taken out put in the stock -meat, about 3 pounds of knuckle of veal, and as much beef, add all the -trimmings and bones of the head, skim it well, cover close, let it boil -5 hours (save 2 quarts of this for gravy sauce), strain it off and let -stand until morning; then take off the fat; set a large stewpan on the -fire, with half a pound of fresh butter, 12 ounces of sliced onions, -4 ounces of green sage; chop it a little; let these fry 1 hour, then -rub in one pound of flour, then add the broth by degrees until it is -as thick as cream. Season with 1/4 ounce of ground allspice, 1/2 ounce -of black pepper ground fine, salt to your taste the rind of a lemon -peeled thin. Let it simmer gently for 1-1/2 hours, strain through a -hair sieve. If it does not go through easily press a wooden spoon -against the sides of the sieve. Put it in a clean stewpan with the -head, and season it by putting to each gallon of soup 1/2 pint of wine, -2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. Let it simmer until the meat is tender -(from 1/2 hour to 1 hour). Take care it is not overdone. Stir often to -keep the meat from sticking to the pan. When the meat is quite tender -the soup is ready. A head of 20 pounds and 10 pounds of stock-meat will -make 10 quarts of soup, besides the 2 quarts of stock-meat set aside -for side dishes. If there is more meat on the head than you wish to use -make a ragout pie of some of it. - - -No. 3. - -MOCK MOCK TURTLE. - -Line the bottom of a 5-pint stewpan with 1 ounce of lean bacon or ham, -1-1/2 pounds lean gravy beef, a cow's heel, inner rind of a carrot, a -sprig of lemon thyme, winter savory, 3 sprigs of parsley, a few green -leaves of sweet basil, 2 onions, a large onion with 4 cloves stuck in -it, 18 grains of allspice, 18 grains of pepper. Pour on these 1 pint -of cold water, cover the stewpan and set it on a slow fire to boil -gently 1/4 hour. Watch it carefully, if need be, with the cover off, -until it gets a good brown color; then fill up the stewpan with boiling -water, and let it simmer for 2 hours. If you wish you can cut up some -of the meat into mouthfuls and put into the soup. To thicken it take -2 tablespoonfuls of flour, a ladleful of gravy, mix them and pour it -into the stewpan where the gravy is, let it simmer 1/2 hour longer. -Skim it and strain through a fine sieve. Cut the cow's heel in pieces 1 -inch square. Squeeze the juice of a lemon, 1 tablespoonful of mushroom -catsup, 1 teaspoonful of salt, 1/2 teaspoonful of black pepper, a pinch -of grated nutmeg, a glass of Madeira or sherry wine, through a sieve -into the stewpan of soup; let simmer 5 minutes longer. - - -No. 4. - -SOUTHERN MOCK TURTLE SOUP. - -Wash a calf's head clean, put 2 gallons of water on it, set it to boil; -put in a hock of ham (smoked), weighing about 2 pounds, also thyme, -3 onions, 1 bunch of celery tops, 1 tablespoonful each of allspice -cloves, not ground; let it boil down slowly to 1-1/2 gallons. When -the head is done take it out, being careful to remove the brains and -tongue, then cut the meat into small pieces. Strain the soup; brown 1/2 -pound of flour and make a batter of it to thicken the soup; grate 1/2 -of a nutmeg in it, put in pepper and salt to taste; take a portion of -the brain and make it into small cakes, as you would fritters, fry them -in lard; take 1/2 pound of veal cutlets, and a small part of the ham, -chop up with a little parsley and onion, season with pepper and salt; -make small forcemeat balls, frying them in lard, having first rolled -them in eggs, then in breadcrumbs; put the forcemeat ball in the soup -just before dishing up, together with 1/2 pint of wine. - - -No. 5. - -CELERY SOUP. - -After splitting 6 heads of celery into pieces about 2 inches long, wash -them well, lay them on a hair sieve to drain, and put them in 3 quarts -of clear gravy soup in a gallon soup-pot; let it stew just enough to -make the celery tender, say about 1 hour; take off the scum if any -should rise, season with a little salt. Should you wish to make this -soup at a season when you could not get celery, use the celery seed, -say about 1/2 pint, put this in the soup 1/4 hour before it is done, -with a little sugar. - - -No. 6. - -PEASE SOUP AND PICKLED PORK. - -Take 2 pounds of the flank of pickled pork. Care must be taken that the -pork is not too salty, otherwise lay it in water the night before. Put -1 quart pease (split), 2 heads of cut celery, 2 onions peeled, 1 sprig -of sweet marjoram in 3 quarts of water; boil gently for 2 hours, then -put in the pork. Let this boil until it is done enough to eat. When -done wash it clean in hot water and place it on a dish, or else cut it -in mouthfuls and put in a tureen with the soup. - - -No. 7. - -PLAIN PEASE SOUP. - -One quart of split peas, 2 heads of celery; let them simmer gently in -broth or soft water (3 quarts) over a slow fire, stirring every now and -then to keep the pease from burning. Add more water should it boil away -or the soup get too thick. After boiling for 3 hours put them through -a coarse sieve, then through a fine one. Wash out your stewpan and -put the soup back into it, let it boil up once. Take off the scum if -any. Fry small square pieces of bread in hot lard until they become a -delicate brown; take them out and let them drain on a sheet of paper. -Send these up with the soup in one side dish and dry powdered mint or -sweet marjoram in another. - - -No. 8. - -LOBSTER SOUP. - -Take 3 fine, lively hen lobsters, boil them; when cold split the tails; -take out the fish, crack the claws, and cut the meat in mouthfuls; take -out the coral and soft part of the body, crush part of the coral in -a mortar; pick out the fish from the shell, beat part of it with the -coral; out of this make forcemeat balls, flavored with mace, nutmeg, -grated lemon peel, cayenne, and anchovy. Pound these, with the yolk of -an egg. Have ready 3 quarts of veal broth, bruise the small legs and -the shell, and put them into it to boil for 20 minutes, then strain. To -thicken the soup take the live spawn, crush it in the mortar, with a -little butter and flour, rub it through a sieve and add it to the soup -with the meat of the lobsters and the rest of the coral; let it simmer -gently for 10 minutes. - - -No. 9. - -ASPARAGUS SOUP. - -Take all the tender portion of three good-sized bunches of asparagus. -This will make 2 quarts of soup. Put a large saucepan half full of -water on the fire; when it boils put one-half of the asparagus in, with -a little salt; let it boil till done, then drain it off. Put in a clean -stewpan, with 3 quarts of plain veal or mutton broth, cover up close, -and stew one hour over a slow fire. Rub through a sieve, then cut the -other half of the asparagus in pieces one inch long, and send up in the -soup. - - -No. 10. - -TOMATO SOUP OR MOCK HOCK SOUP. - -One quart of tomatoes, put on fire and let boil; when done mash through -a sieve 3 tablespoonfuls of sugar, 1 teaspoonful nutmeg and mace -together, and put in tomatoes, 1 tablespoonful of butter, mixed with a -large tablespoonful of flour, stir all into the tomatoes, and put on -to boil again; stir till it boils. Quarter of an hour before serving -pour in 1 pint of milk. Pepper and salt to taste. Stir till it boils up -nicely. Put in 2 tablespoonfuls wine just before dishing up. - - -No. 11. - -FRIED OYSTERS. - -For this purpose each and every oyster should be as large, plump, -and fat--fresh, of course, not salt--as you can procure. Any small -ones will serve for sauces, croquettes, soups, etc. Drain off their -juice, put them in a bowl, cover them with ice water, let stand -a few minutes, then place them in a colander and drain them. Dry -between two thin, soft towels, without pressing them, and lay upon a -moulding-board, slightly coated with cracker-dust, finely sifted. Beat -up to a thick rich custard as many eggs and an equal measure of cream -as you need for moistening all the oysters, adding, at the last, a -saltspoonful of salt for every three eggs. Have ready a sufficiency of -finely-sifted bread crumbs prepared by rubbing the heart of a stale -loaf of white bread in a towel and pressing it through a sieve. Dip -the oysters, one by one, into the beaten egg and roll them in the -crumbs till covered in every part. By no means flatten them, but keep -them as round and plump as possible; lay them on napkins and keep in -a cool place for half an hour; again dip, roll in crumbs, and set -aside for another half hour. Now lay them on the wire stand, not quite -touching each other. Set the stand into a deep frying-pan nearly full -of whatever frying mixture you use, which must be boiling hot, and fry -quickly to a deep yellow color, but do not brown them, or they will be -tough and greasy. Lift the stand out of the pan, drain quickly, and -serve the oysters on a hot, white napkin, placed on a hot platter, -and garnish with sprigs of parsley or water cress, stuffed olives, -and small bits of lemon. The daintiest condiment of all is the French -mayonnaise sauce served with lettuce. - - -No. 12. - -FRICASSEED OYSTERS. - -Fifty oysters, 6 ounces butter, 3 tablespoonfuls flour, 3 saltspoonfuls -salt, 2 saltspoonfuls white pepper, 2 saltspoonfuls mace, 6 bay leaves, -1 quart cream, 4 yolks of eggs, 1 tea cupful bread crumbs. Put the -oysters, with their juice, into a stewpan on a quick fire; give one -boil, drain them, put them into a hot tureen, and set in a warm place. -Rub the butter, flour, and 3 teaspoonfuls of scalding cream to a fine -smooth paste, stir it quickly into the quart of cream in a bright -stewpan on a quick fire. Add the salt and spice, and stir till it no -longer thickens. Now put in the yolks of eggs, well beaten; stir till -smooth, strain the whole through a fine sieve upon the oysters. Cover -evenly with the crumbs and lightly brown in a quick oven. - - -No. 13. - -SCALLOPED OYSTERS. - -Half-gallon oysters for a three pint pudding dish; drain the oysters -well, 1 pint of bread-crumbs, and put pepper, salt, and a little -mustard, nutmeg or mace in the crumbs. Cover the bottom of dish with -the crumbs. Put a layer of oysters with a small piece of butter, then a -layer of crumbs. Continue this way till dish is full, then put 2 or 3 -tablespoonfuls of cream on top. Put in a rather quick oven; let bake 20 -minutes. - - -No. 14. - -PICKLED OYSTERS. - -Drain the oysters. To 1/2 gallon of pickled oysters, 1/2 pint cider -vinegar. Heat the vinegar boiling hot. Put in spice enough to flavor, -cloves, allspice and mace.

Cut the remains of chicken into small pieces, -dip into the butter, and fry crisp in plenty of lard made hot for the -purpose; serve with tomato sauce. - - -No. 17. - -FISH CROQUETTES. - -Three-pound rock. Boil it till done; skin it and take bones out. Chop -fish up fine with 1 stalk of celery and 2 sprigs of parsley, 1 pint -milk, 2 tablespoonfuls flour, 1/4 pound butter. Mix butter and flour -together; boil the milk and pour it into the flour and butter, making -a rich sauce. Boil 1/2 pint oysters scalded, take the hearts out, cut -them up in small bits and put in the sauce. Put fish in the sauce and -keep stirring till it begins to boil. When done pour out on a platter -and let it get cold. Make croquettes in shape of pears or apples, roll -in beaten eggs and then in bread crumbs. Boil in a croquette kettle of -lard. - -Serve these with French potatoes or Saratoga potatoes fried. - - -No. 18. - -POTATO CROQUETTES. - -Peel and boil 5 good-sized potatoes till mealy.

Let boil up once and send to -table in a sauce-boat. - - -No. 21. - -MARROW BONES. - -Saw the bones even so they will stand steadily; put a piece of paste -into the ends, set them upright in a saucepan, and boil till done.
