Almond Cheese Cake.
Three well-beaten eggs.
A pint of new milk, boiling while the eggs are mixed in.
Half a glass of wine, poured in while boiling.
On adding the wine, take it from the fire, strain off the whey, and put to the curds sifted white sugar, to your taste, three eggs, well beaten, a teaspoonful of rose water, half a pound of sweet almonds, and a dozen of bitter ones, all blanched and pounded, and sixteen even spoonfuls of melted butter. Pour this into patties lined with thin pastry. Ornament the top with Zante currants, and almonds cut in thin slips. Bake as soon as done.
Flummery.
Cut sponge cake into thin slices, and line a deep dish. Make it moist with white wine; make a rich custard, using only the yolks of the eggs. When cool, turn it into the dish, and cut the whites to a stiff froth, and put on the top.
Chicken Salad.
Cut the white meat of chickens into small bits, the size of peas.
Chop the white parts of celery nearly as small.
