Sauce Flamande. Heat two ounces of butter in a casserole, add two spoonfuls of flour, one spoonful of vinegar, one quart of the fish broth in which the codfish was cooked, one spoonful of French mustard, a little salt and pepper, one bay leaf, one clove, and a little grated nutmeg. Boil for twenty minutes, strain through a fine cheese cloth, and put back in casserole. Then add, little by little, three ounces of good butter. When the butter is melted add the juice of a lemon and some fresh-chopped parsley.
Sweetbreads, sans gêne. Put some braised sweetbreads on a platter, and garnish with one stuffed head of fresh mushroom to each person. Cover with sauce Colbert.

Canapé thon mariné. Butter four pieces of toast, lay thin slices of thon mariné on top, spread a little mayonnaise over all with a knife, garnish the edges with chopped boiled eggs and chopped parsley. Serve on a napkin with parsley in branches, and quartered lemons.
Cold eggs, Riche. Make four eggs Mollet. When the eggs have become cold cut with the point of a knife, and let the yolks run out. Then fill with a few chopped anchovies, place on a china platter, and cover with sauce Figaro.
Purée of lentils with tapioca. Mix one quart of purée of lentils with one pint of consommé tapioca.
Boiled fowl. Put a soup hen on the fire in two quarts of water, add a little salt, bring to a boil, and skim. Then add one carrot, one onion, one leek, one piece of celery and a bouquet garni. Cook until the fowl is soft. Serve with cream, celery, oyster, or other sauce; as you may desire.
Celery sauce. Warm three ounces of butter in a casserole; add two stalks of celery, cut in small squares, well-washed and dried; and one and one-half spoonful of flour. Heat through, and then add two pints of chicken broth and a little salt. Boil until the celery is soft; then bind with the yolks of two eggs and a cup of cream.
