breakfasts, dimes and sups."
The French are particularly elo.
quent on the subject Of sauces.
Among their famous chefs are recog-
nized four great sauces: Spanish,
Veloute. Bechamel and German. The
Spanish and Veloute were known as
far back as the seventeenth century.
In the eighteenth they were modified
by the masters Of cookery, particular.

Raphael Of the kitchen 81
The Spanish sauce Is composed Of
juices extracted from a mixture Of
ham, veal, chicken and pheasant.
Veloute Is similar, but is not colored.
Bechamel Is Veloute to which cream
has been added, and the German
sauce is Veloute plus the yolks OF

regardless of whether or not he
wishes specially to study traction en-
gineering. The extension division of
