Poached eggs, d'Orleans. Make four round pieces of dry toast, lay a thin slice of smoked beef tongue on each, and a poached egg on top of the tongue. Cover with Béarnaise sauce.
Mutton chops, Argenteuil. Broil some mutton chops and put on a platter. Garnish with asparagus tips. Pour a little Hollandaise sauce over the tips; and a little brown gravy or sauce Madère over the chops.
Puff paste sandwich (pastry). Roll out some puff paste into a thin sheet, and spread with a thick layer of jam. Wash the edges of the sheet, and place another thin sheet of the same paste on top. Press together at the edges. Wash the top, and bake. When nearly done dust the top with powdered sugar, and bake in the oven until the sugar is melted. Serve cold.
Rice soup, Palermo. Heat two ounces of butter in a casserole, add two ounces of rice and one ounce of flour, and heat through. Then add three pints of chicken broth, and boil slowly. Keep stirring carefully so it will not burn on the bottom, but do not break the rice. When the rice is soft bind the soup with the yolks of three eggs mixed with one pint of cream. Keep stirring the soup until it nearly comes to a boil; taste to determine as to seasoning; add a tiny bit of grated nutmeg, a little Cayenne pepper, and the juice of two lemons, freshly squeezed.
Tenderloin of beef, Gambetta. Put a roast tenderloin of beef on a platter, garnish on one side with onions glacés, and on the other side with fresh mushrooms sauté in butter. Serve sauce Madère on top of the beef, and also separate in a bowl.
