=Poulet Sauté à l'Estragon.=--Sprinkle the pieces of a cut up raw
chicken with pepper and salt and cook in a saucepan with a little oil.
Make a gravy of a cupful of clear stock in which tarragon stalks have
been boiled for an hour, dish up the fowl on a hot platter, pour over
the sauce, straining it, and sprinkle on top tarragon leaves blanched
and coarsely chopped.
=Artichauts à la Barigoule.=--Cut off the tops and leaves of the
artichokes and boil the bottoms in plenty of slightly salted water till
tender. Scoop out the fibrous interior. Grate some cooked bacon into a
saucepan with a gill of fine herbs and a cupful of broth. Cook for five
minutes. Put a little of this mixture in each artichoke, cover the
opening with a slice of lemon and bake in a sauté-pan in the oven for
twenty minutes.
=Petit Petac.=--Peel tiny new potatoes and sauté in oil till a golden
brown. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
=Soufflé Georgette.=--Grate a half-dozen stale macaroons into a half-cup
of brandy, add a pint of cream and two teaspoonfuls of dissolved
gelatine. Whip in a dozen maraschino cherries and turn into a mould to
harden. Serve with macaroons dipped into the liquid that comes around
the maraschino cherries. A custard may be used in this recipe instead of
the cream.

=Potage au Riz.=--Put half a pound of well-washed rice into a saucepan
with two quarts of vegetable stock and boil till tender. When the rice
is cooked move the saucepan to the side of the fire and mix in a cupful
of stewed tomatoes and an ounce and a half of butter. Serve with sippets
of toast or croutons that have been fried in butter.
=Rougets en Papillotes.=--This recipe is for mullets, but any small,
plump fish may be used. Make a paper case for each fish with a sheet of
well-oiled notepaper and put the cases into the oven for a few minutes
to harden. Sprinkle the under sides of the fish with pepper and salt
and lay them in their cases with a small piece of butter under and over
each. Place the cases in a baking-dish and cook for about twenty minutes
in the oven, or more if the fish are otherwise than small. Sprinkle well
with lemon juice just before serving.
