of the merits of the book , the recipes , as far aa they go , correspondin * with the menus . Our first menu is set down for 22 nd February , and , in English , i ; as follows , with the recipes for two of the dishes : — " Curry soup with rice .
Broiled shad and sorrel . Braised breast of mutton . Roast wild duck . Stuffed eggs with cream . Open apple tart .
BROILED SHAD AND SORREL . " Thoroug hly clean and wash your fish , make several slits down each side , and warm for a quarter of an hour in a saucepan wifch
olive oil , salt , pepper , and a laurel leaf ; fill the slits with butter mixed with fioely . chopped herbs , bake in fche oveu , and serve on a puree of sorrel . You can also boil it on a gridiron , in which case the slits must not be filled with butter .
Sruii'ED EGGS WITH CREAM . " Shell some hard-boiled eggs , cut them in half , lengthways ; scoop out the yolks , and pound with tho same quantity of butter as there are yolks , a lump of bread-crumb soaked in milk , finely-cbopped parsley and chives , salt , a pinch of grated nutmeg , the same quantity
of mixed spice and two or three raw yolks of egg ; when well pounded , pass through a fine sieve , spread a layer of this stuffing on a dish , fill the empty whites of egg with the remainder , and brown in the oven , pour some bdchamel sauce ( see 16 th of August ) , made with double cream , over them , and serve .
The second is for the 4 th August , and with its corresponding recipes reads thus : — Clear soup wifch lettuce . Pickled pike , remoulade sauce a la cosaque .
Braised pullet with white sauce . Roast young rabbits . Green peas a l'anglaise . Whipped raspberries and cream .

BRAISED PULLET AVITH WHITE SAUCE . " Lard the pullet with bacou and ham , braise in milk with carrots and onions , and leave until cold . Take a lump of butter , a little
flour , salt , pepper , two yolks of egg , and a teacupful of milk ; stir over the fire until thick , and add the pullet sprinkled with breadcrumbs j place the stew-pan in the oven until the pullet is browned , ind dish it up garnished with thick poivrade sauce .
GREEN PEAS A L ANGLAISE . " Boil the green peas in boiling salt and water ; when cooked , drain and pour them into a vegetable dish over a large lump of fresh butter . Sprinkle the peas with a little finely-chopped parsley , and serve very hot . Hand powdered sugar separately . "
These speak for themselves , and , in our opinion , compare well with bhe menus and recipes we have seen in other works on Cookery . As for Mrs . Matthew Clarke , we congratulate her on the manner in whioh she appears to have achieved her task , and also on having placed so excellent a manual within reach of the general public .
