Local Chef Is Author
Of Pastry Baking Guide

The author of 1.-THE Mod
ern Pastry Chefs Guide to
Professional Baking" pub
lished by Harper & Row
($10) is Dominique D'Ermo.
now the food and beverage
manager of the Shoreham
Hotel.
This is a book designed
primarily for the professional
and not the average home
cook. The recipes are geared
to servings of 20 or more,
which would be helpful to
the chairman of PTA or
church groups planning
large-scale luncheons or din
ners. The home cook should
keep in mind, however, that
many Of the ingredients are
given in ounces and pounds.
In the opening pages, Chef
D'Ermo has listed several COL
umns Of definitions. For
example, he defines armag-
nae, ammonium carbonate
(often used by professionals
in bakingl, chapelure (sifted
bread crumbs, batons, and
bavarios TO mention a few -.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-11-15

all terms he uses throughout
the book. Baking terms are
included and the author has
thoughtfully added a CONVEX
sion table of measurements
and thermometer COMPARE
sons. The latter should be
helpful to European users of
his book.
The professional pastry
chef will be interested in the
chapters on decorations and
show pieces which includes
formulas for both pulled and
spun sugar, an art in itself.
Even the author admits ham
ding spun sugar is a diff
cult feat and strongly recon-
ments that the beginner
watch a demonstration by an
experienced chef before at
tempting this work.
The book is well sprinkled
with Illustrations Of both fin
ished show pieces as well as
line drawings of decorative
frosting borders and how-to-
do charts for intricate pas
tries.

have sunk their teeth into
some pretty exotic fare
started off their 18th an
nual series of wild game
luncheonS this week by din
ing on hippopotamus from
Kenya, East Africa.
ITO my knowledge this is
the first time hippo has ever
been served in Washington"
says Mr.. Gordon Leech, man
ager of the National Zoo
Park Restaurant where the
luncheons are held.
Chef Russell Deremer, who
in the past. has prepared
crab-eating seal, kangaroo,
Guatemalan iguana, ported
hare, Sandman noufflon,
wild boar, bear and caribou
for the Anteaters, had to do
some home work before pre-
pairing the hippo. He studied
all the available recipes, then
decided to precook it in the
oven and finish it off over
an open oak fire to give the
roast a barbecued flavor.
TaSte-wise, the hippo
turned out to be a pleasant
surprise. The meat was fine
grained, tender and mild. In
fact. it was very much like
beef in both appearance and
flavor. Not unlike a good pot
roast. The roastS weighed be-
tween 40 and so pounds and
came from a young animal
about 2 years old, Mr.. Leech
told me.
The first course for the
opening game luncheon of
the 1862 season were tidbitS
of aoudad, a slice of hippo
tongue and a pate made of
hippo liver seasoned with
salt, cayenne, nutmeg, dry
mustard, ground cloves and
finely minced onion. The
tongue was both mild in
flavor and tender. Aoudad is
q variety Of wild sheep native
to Asia and Africa, and also a
rare item to American
tables.
Then came a hippo soup,
made from bone stock, fine
ly chopped hippo meat, to-
matoes, herbs, Seasonings and
green noodles. Following this
came the piece de resistance.

Wants Appraisal
Mrs. J. M. j., Falls Church

My problem is this: how
does one go about obtaining
a fair appraisal Of old arti-
cleS?
I have an old table, some
prints in wood frames, some
sheet music and many old 78
RPM records, and I would
very much like to know their
value.
Does anyone know how to
go about having this done?
The places I have visited
about this either offered an
insignificant sum for them
or, upon learning that I do
not want to sell them, were
not interested in helping.
