Favorite Recipes of Famous People
MORTON DOWNEY

The favorite dish of Morton D6wfiey, weli-kfloWh tenor of the airways, is beefsteak pie, a dish traditionally h0n0red by the gouf- met of 1relande from which country the recipe tails. During Downey's recent four months stay fin Eng land singing over the British net works, he and Mrs. Downey, the former Barbara Bennett of screen fame, made frequent excursions into this land of his ancestors for the purpose of delving into the secrets of Irish cookery. Old way side inns in County Kerry and in picturesque County Downey yield ed many recipes which they brought triumphantly home with them.
 one Of these was the Irish beef steak pie, which gets It's tlf1usua flavor from mixed herbs and ffesl mushrooms. The kitchens in the Dowtley home in the Connecticut Valley, near Greenwich, lehd their facilities often to the preparation of this dish for favored guests.
 ''1t is important that the beef butts used for the pie are from a young animal" Downey says. And some discretion should be used in the seasoning, as the combination of herbs, which this recipe calls for, is not acceptable to every palate. Some can be omitted, if desired. without reducing the flavor of the dish."
