THFlERENCH POT-AU-FEU.

The pof-au-teu is the most important
fn,ture Of the cuusine of the common
neople of France. and is remarkable
TOR It's economy and its nutrltlNe value.
The following recipe is interesting as
coming from Careme, one OF the most
celebrated of French cooks: The
rood housewife puts her meat into an
rarthen pot. and pourS cold water on
it. in the proportion of two quarts to
three pounds of the beef. She sets 1t
ut the side of the fire. The pot grows
GRADUALLY hot. and as the water heats
if dilates the muscular tibers the
flesh bv dissolving the gelatinous mat
Ter which covers them. and allows the
alhumen to detach itself easily and
rise To the surface of the water III
light foam or scum. While the saNorN
iricr of the meat. dissolving little by
little. adds flavor to the broth. By
this simple proceeding OF sslow cook
inc. the housewife obtains Il savory
and nourishing broth, and tender
boiled meat with Il good flavor. But
bv placing the pot-aU-fcH on too hot
fire il boils too soon: the albumen

sad result is that YOU have only u hare
