Smoked beef tongue with spinach. Put a smoked tongue in a casserole and cover with cold water, bring to a boil, and then set at the side of the stove and simmer slowly until soft. Cook some spinach English style, and place on platter. Slice the beef tongue and place on top of the spinach. Serve with it either sauce Madère, Champagne sauce, or plain bouillon.
Sorbet Eau de Vie de Dantzig. One pound of sugar, three pints of water, the juice of two lemons and one orange, and the whites of two eggs beaten with one gill of maraschino. Freeze, and serve in sorbet glasses, with Eau de Vie de Dantzig on top. Pour the Eau de Vie on immediately before serving, so the silver leaves will show.

Eggs, Hongroise. Boil a cup of rice, and spread on a platter, lay four poached eggs on top. Place some chickens' livers, that have been cooked sauté in butter, around the rice; and cover all with sauce Périgueux.
Calf's liver sauté, sauce Robert. Slice some calf's liver three-quarters of an inch thick. Season with salt and pepper, roll in flour, and fry in melted butter. Place on a platter and cover with sauce Robert.
Sauce Robert. Slice two onions very fine and put in casserole with two ounces of butter. Simmer slowly until soft; then add a spoonful of flour and simmer again. Then add one pint of bouillon, one spoonful of vinegar, two spoonfuls of French mustard, one spoonful of meat extract, and some salt and pepper. Cook for thirty minutes. Before serving add some chopped parsley. Serve with boiled beef, tongue, etc.
String bean salad. Boil two quarts of cleaned string beans in salt water. Allow to become cool, place in salad bowl, season with salt and pepper, add two spoonfuls of white wine vinegar, five of olive oil, and a little chopped parsley. Mix well.
Strawberry cream pie. Line a plate with pie dough and bake it. (Put some white beans in the pie so it will not lose its shape while baking. When done remove the beans.) Place a handful of biscuit crumbs in the bottom, and fill with strawberries. Dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with whipped cream on top.
