Souffli Panache. — For this put into a pan the yolks of ten and the whites of five eggs, with 4oz. of caster sugar and a little vanilla ; beat this till warm and thick over the fire, then divide this custard into two parts and stir mto one half, half a gill of Mocha coffee (prepared by infusing loz. of freshly roasted Mocha coffee berries in a short gill of single cream) ; into the other half stir a gill of fresh strawberry pulp, and then add into each of these, after beating them till cold and stiff, a good half gill of stiffly whipped cream ; put this in alternate layers into the souffle case and freeze as before.

If you use kirsch, serve with a compote of stoned cherries j>re- pared like the strawberries given above, adding to the fniit some of their kernels, nicely blanched. A little noyeau can also be added. Souffle de Punch d la Frangaise. — Infuse 2oz. of good tea in a pint of perfectly freshly boiled water, then strain it off and leave it to cool.
