six eggs, and a little’milk. Work the paste so as to gave it a little consistence, and let it rise again before using. Puff paste is sometimes used instead of the above. Out of a vast number of receipts given for the pre- paration of Coulibiac the following have been selected, the variation of ingredients depending more upon cir- cumstances than taste : (1) Wrap about lib. of Coulibiac paste in a cloth, put it in a warm place, and let it remain for about fifteen hours. No sugar should be used with this paste. Turn it out on to a board, roll it out into a square about jin. in thickness, and cut it in halves. Put one-half on a well-buttered baking- sheet, cover it over first with a layer of well-boiled rice, then finely-chopped hard-boiled eggs, and lastly an eel cut up into small pieces. Dredge over a little ground spice, chopped herbs, and salt and pepper, cover over with the remaining half of the paste, fastening the edges together, form it into the shapie of a ball as nearly as possible, put it into a moderate oven, and bake until done. Take it out, and serve hot on a dish. (2) Put two cabbages well washed, cleaned, and chopped very fine into a saucepan of water, and add Jib. of butter, salt and pepper to taste. Cut two large onions into small pieces and fry but not to brown them, and put them also into the saucepan with the cabbage. Place the saucepan on the fire, and when the cabbages are well done and quite tender put them out on a dish and let them get cold ; then mix in six eggs boiled hard and chopped very fine. Next take 8oz. of Coulibiac paste
