Royal is simply a custard seasoned with salt and red pepper. Take three eggs, mix well with one cup of milk, and poach in a tin mould. Stand the mould with the custard in a pan with about one inch of water in it, cover the mould with a paper, and poach slowly in a moderate oven until solid. When cold cut into dice to correspond in size with the other vegetables. This garnishing looks very pretty in a clear consomme. CONSOMME CELESTINE^S The following recipes show two ways of making this consomme. 1. Make two large pancakes, cut them in thin, long strips (called Julienne), and put them in the consomme before serving. 2. Cover one pancake with a chicken forcemeat; place the other one on top, and with a round cutter cut out as many pieces as you can the size of a nickel. Put them on a plate, and heat them in the oven for five minutes. This is sufficiently long to cook the forcemeat. Place in the consomme before sending to the table. 9 w/ LOUIS' EVERY WOMAN'S COOK BOOK When Served. Guests. Remarks. LOUIS' EVERY WOMAN'S COOK BOOK CONSOMME COLBERT ^? Garnish the consomme with the vegetables used in Consomme Caroline, but omit the tomatoes and Royal. Add a small poached egg for each plate required. CONSOMME SEVIGNE^S Take half a breast of a cooked fowl. Pound it into pulp. Add to it two whole eggs and the yolks of two others, also one cup of milk and cream mixed, salt, cayenne pepper, and a little grated nutmegConsomme Sevigne. Strain the whole through a fine sieve. Butter well eight or ten small tin tartelette moulds and fill them three- quarters full with this preparation. Then stand the moulds in a flat pan with a little water in the bottom. Cover with a paper, and cook slowly in a moderate oven, until solid. Take out of the moulds while hot, and put in the hot consomme. One for each plate. CONSOMME PRINCESS^ Take one pint of cooked green peas, fresh or canned. Rub through a fine sieve, and place in a bowl. Add two whole eggs and the yolks of three others, and one cup of milk and cream mixed. Season with salt and pepperConsomme Princess. Put the mixture in a buttered mould and poach slowly in the oven as in Consomme Sevigne. When cold cut in slices, and with some fancy cutters cut the slices into various shapes, such as stars, diamonds, etc. Place these in the hot consomme. CONSOMME ISABELLE^ To two quarts of consomme add the following garnishing : Two heaping tablespoonfuls of cooked rice, two table- spoonfuls each of cooked green peas, cooked string beans, and peeled tomatoes cut in small cubes, and three tablespoonfuls of pink Royal custard cut in dia- monds. Let it come to a boil, and serve. Royal, or seasoned custard, the recipe for which is given elsewhere, is coloured pink by the use of a little red vegetable colouring, often used in cooking to colour jellies, creams, forcemeats, etc. 10 LOUIS' EVERY WOMAN'S COOK BOOK When Served. Guests. Remarks. E LOUIS' EVERY WOMAN'S COOK BOOK CONSOMME WITH CHEESE CROUTONS ^ This is a very simple, but palatable consomme. Cut as many slices of French bread, one-quarter of an inch thick, as you have diners. Put them on a pie plate or baking sheet. Cover each slice with a heaping tablespoonful of grated Swiss and Parmesan cheese, mixed. Bake in a hot oven until they become golden brown. Have one crouton floating in each plate of consomme.
