KITCHEN TALKS.
Dainty Salads.
BY MRS. MILLIE MARCH.
It is the season of salads, and every
housekeeper knows that all dishes must be
served in their proper place or fail of ap
preciation, even though ever so daintily
prepared. Therefore, I think a few hints
may be acceptable upon this but half appre
ciated dish—half appreciated because not
tried.
The success of salads depends upon them
being sent to the table crisp and fresh, and
upon being properly garnished. The
vegetables for the salads and garnishes, to
be crisp, should be laid in ice water for
two hours before using, and dressings and
everything pertaining to salads should be
set in a cold place for some time before
serving. The garnishes are so numerous that
it woidd be impossible to tell how to treat
all, but as celery stands among the first I
will tell how to prepare that. Cut the
stalks into two-inch pieces; stick several
coarse needles into the top of a cork and
draw half of the stalk of each piece of cel
ery through the needles several times,
then lay in a cold place to curl and crisp.
The inside white leaves of lettuce also
make a nice garnish.
I once saw a very pretty garnish for
meats made of beet and cabbage leaves
arranged in the dish in wreath shape, with
a few tufts of the smallest cabbage leaves
here and there upon the dressing. It was
late autumn, and the pretty coloring of
the beet leaves in with the green of the
cabbage gave a pretty effect.
In serving salads, a little forethought
should also be given as to their proper
time. A meat salad should never be
served at dinner, as it is too heavy to ac
company or follow other meats served,
but would be perfectly suitable for supper
or luncheon. Light salads made from
vegetables, celery, lettuce, etc., may be
appropriately served at any meal, but are
particularly desirable to serve after the
meat, or with the game at dinner.
Chicken Salad.— Boil one chicken ten
der, salting to taste. Let stand in the wa
ter in the vessel until cool; take out, re
move all skin, bones and fat; cut the meat
into small pieces. Take crisp, white celery,
a little more than you have of chicken, cut
into small pieces and mix with the meat;
then add the following mayonnaise dress
ing:.
Beat a raw egg with a salt-spoon of salt
until it is thoroughly smooth; add a tea
spoon of mixed mustard; when quite
smooth add by degrees (a few drops only at
a time) a half pint of olive salad oil (or
if preferred, butter may be used,) taking
care to blend eaoh portion of it with the
egg before adding more. This should be
as smooth as honey, and thick enough for
a spoon to stand up in it; dilute with vin
egar until it assumes the consistency of
thick cream. A little anchovy sauce may
be added if desired. Lemon juice may be
used instead of vinegar, or a few drops
may be added with the vinegar. Set in a
cool place until needed. Just before serv
ing, arrange the curled celery leaves, or
the small leaves of lettuce, in the salad
bow.l in wreath-shape; mix the dressing
with the chicken and celery, toss up light
ly, turn into the salad bowl and garnish
the top with slices of lemon. Keep in a
cold place until needed.
Lobster Salad.— Prepare the lobster by
boiling and remove from the shell, or take
canned lobster; cut into dice, pepper and
salt, and heap it on a bed of lettuce leaves.
Make a pint of mayonnaise dressing ; mix
half of it with the lobster, and pour the
other half over the salad just before serv
ing. Before preparing the salad, let lob
ster, mayonnnaise and lettuce become
thoroughly chilled.
Potato Salad. —Peel and slice cold boil
ed potatoes enough to fill a quart dish,
salt and pepper to taste; cut two
small onions very fine and mix with them.
Put half a cupful of vinegar and a tea
spoonful of butter in a dish, and let it heat
gradually. Beat the yolks of two eggs
thoroughly, pour into a cup and fill the
WOMAN’S WORK.
cup with thick, sweet cream, beat well to
gether and stir into the hot vinegar. Stir
constantly until it reaches the boiling
point; then pour immediately over the
potatoes and mix lightly; set where it
will cool well before serving. Will be
found nice for supper.
Cabbage Salad.— One quart finely chop
ped cabbage, one level tablespoonful of
salt, one of white sugar, one of black pep
per, and a large half tablespoonful of
ground mustard ; rub yolks df two hard
boiled eggs until smooth, add quarter
ot a cup of butter, slightly warm
ed; mix thoroughly with the cab
bage, and add half a teacup good vine
gar; serve with whites of eggs, sliced and
and placed on top of salad. Another nice
way is to mix the finely chopped cabbage
with mayonnaise dressing. Serve crisp
and cold.
Fish Salad.— All kinds of fish can be
served in salads. Any boiled or baked
fish left from dinner may be prepared this
way for supper. Remove all bones, pick
fish in pieces, with mayonnaise dressing,
lay on a bed of lettuce leaves, pour on
more dressing. Serve at once.
Vegetable Salad. — If wanted for dinner,
boi I eggs, beets and potatoes in the morn
ing. When cold, slice, place a layer of
eggs in dish first, then the beets and pota
toes, and cover these with another layer of
eggs ; over all pour mayonnaise dressing,
and set in a cool place until ready to serve.
Is nice to serve with game.
Oyster Salad. Take one quart of
oysters, put over fire to cook in their own
liquor; when boiling, turn into a colander
to drain ; when drained, turn into a dish
and add one tablespoonful of salad oil,
one-half teaspoonful salt, oue-third tea
spoonful pepper, three tablespoons vine
gar, and the juice of one lemon ; set on ice
for two hours. Cut one pint of celery into
thin slices and place on ice. When ready
to serve, drain the celery, mix it with the
oysters and one quarter of a cup of mayon
naise dressing; turn into a salad bowl and
pour over it as much more of the dressing.
Garnish with tufts of white celery leaves;
serve.

COLLECTED RECIPES.
* UNIVERSAL PICKLE.
One gallon of good vinegar, one pint of
salt, three pounds of brown sugar, one
small box of mustard, one pint of horse
radish chopped fine, one quart of onions
chopped fine, one quarter pound allspice,
one quarter pound ground pepper, one
quarter pound whole pepper, two ounces
mace, and two ounces cloves. Drop into
this mixture fresh fruit or vegetables of
any kind, and after ten days the piekies
will be ready for use.
* * * * *
PEARS and whipped cream.
Pare and quarter ten nice pears. Cook
until tender in a little water, then re
move to a platter. Make a syrup of one
pound of sugar and a pint of the pear wa
ter. Add the juice of two lemons and the
grated rind of one. Cook the pears a
few minutes in this syrup, then remove to
the dish in which they are to be moulded.
Soak one ounce of gelatine, one hour, in
enough water to cover it; when dissolved,
stir into the hot syrup; let boil; then
turn it over the fruit. Dip the mould in cold
water before putting in the mixture.
When cold, turn into a dish and serve
with whipped cream. It is also nice
served with thick sweet cream.
*****
BANANA CUSTARD.
Take the yolks of four eggs, a cupful of
sugar, two teaspoonfuls of cornstarch, and
a little milk to moisten. Have ready a
pint of boiling milk; to this add the eggs,
etc., and put on to cook in a saucepan,
stirring frequently. Slice four bananas,
and pour the custard over them. Beat
the whites of the eggs to a stiff" froth, and
add two tablespoonfuls of pulverized su
gar. Spread as meringue over the custard,
and place it on the slide of your
oven till the meringue is slightly brown.
Serve cold.
*****
GOLDEN HUSK TOMATO PRESERVES.
Make a syrup by dissolving,in a half pint
of water, one half pound of sugar for each
pound of fruit. Cook the tomatoes until
tender; remove with a draining spoon ; boil
the syrup halt an hour and pour over the
fruit. You can put either fresh lemon
or orange peel, cut in square dice, among
the tomatoes while cooking, or rub the
rinds of the fruit with lumps of sugar un
til you get all the coloring off 1 down to the
white part. The Golden Husk Tomato
having quite a delicate flavor and being
small and yellow, it makes a pretty and
rich preserve.
FROZEN SOUFFLE.
Soak half a box of gelatine in half a
cupful of cold water, add a pint of any
fruit juice or mixture of juices, and a pint
of sugar. Beat the yolks of four eggs un
til creamy, and add also. Strain into a
pan set in ice-water. Stir constantly, and
as it thickens, add a pint of whipped
cream. Turn into a mould and freeze,
without stirring, for two hours.
*****
FRUIT FRITTERS.
Fruit fritters are easily prepared, yet
dainty enough for any service. For the
batter, use one teacupful of flour, half a
teacupful of milk, one tablespoonful of
sugar, one tablespoonful of melted but
ter, half a teaspoonful of salt, and the
grated rind of a quarter of a lemon. Mix
the sugar, flour, salt and lemon rind to
gether; beat the eggs until light, and add
the milk to them. Pour this on the dry
mixture, beat well, and add the melted
butter. A tablespoonful of pure olive oil
is better than melted butter, if it is to be
had, for butter congeals slightly unless the
mixture is warm, which is not desirable.
Only one egg need be used, but the batter
is richer with two. Dip slices of apples
(cored), oranges, bananas, quartered
peaches, apricots or pears into the batter,
coating the fruit thoroughly, and fry in
boiling fat about three minutes.
A aroquette-kettle or frying-basket is
best for these fritters; but if there is no
such utensil in the kitehen outfit, a Scotch
bowl may be used, using ple'nty of hot fat
and taking out the fritters with a fork as
soon as they are a golden brown.

CAULIFLOWER SALAD.
B il a cauliflower in salted water for
about half an hour, or until tender, but
not overdone. When cold, divide it into
small sprigs; arrange them neatly on a
dish, and strew over them some capers
and a little chopped parsley. Pour
over it a dressing made of three ta
blespoonfuls of olive oil and one of vine
gar. with salt and pepper to taste.
This is one of the daintiest and prettiest
looking dishes of the salad kind.
