With good meal and a cool, following
the lessons and traditions OF The old
regime delicious bread may be baked

doubts whether IL can bc baked as well

That is done by pitching them out OF
the pan into the air and making them
come down dap on the other side. The
corn pone may be cooked in a stove or
range.
The hoecake was originally cooked
on hoe in the fields and in the negro
tabin. A skillet will do well enough
for It, but must be well creased at the
bottom. SO, too, with respect to egg

THE COOKBOOK.

Put a pinch Of bicarbonate of soda
in the water when boiling salmon.
This makes it beautiful red color.
When roasting fowls, put them into
an intensely hot oven until carefully
Drowned; after that cook slowly, bast-
ing frequently.
When gravy is being made from
roast veal, lamb, beef or chicken, use
milk instead of water added TO the
brown drippings left in the pan after
the fat has been poured Off.
Before baking a bluefsh the creole
cooks pour over il sauce made from
fresh or canned tomatoes in which
garlic is chopped. 1t is then baked un-
til the flesh of the fish flakes, admitting
the sauce.
For a quick cake beat until thick
four eggs; add four tablespoonfuls Of
sugar. half a cupful Of -four. a little
cinnamon and lemon rind; beat well
and spread on baking pan; bake in
quick oven and cut at once.
Cooking teachers say that the ingre-
dients for pancakes. fritters and the
like should be mixed fully two hours
before the batter is needed. This. they
explain, gives the -four a chance to
swell, and the batter is better and
more wholesome.
