About This Book

A concise cooking pamphlet offering fifteen oyster recipes, each presented with precise ingredient amounts and step-by-step techniques for methods such as curried, sautéed, boiled, Newburg-style, keebobbed, pan-baked tarts, creamed preparations, and bisque. Practical advice on draining, handling, seasoning, and timing recurs throughout, with brief directions for stovetop, broiling, and oven cooking and occasional serving suggestions. The collection emphasizes simple sauces and clear procedures, functioning as a compact, instructional reference for preparing oysters in a variety of presentations.

SPINDLED OYSTERS

Drain twenty-five large oysters. Cut breakfast bacon into very thin slices, and then cut each slice into three pieces. Take an ordinary broiling skewer; run it through the hard part of an oyster and then back so as to pin each oyster between two pieces of bacon; that is, run the skewer through a piece of bacon as though you were sticking it with a pin, then through an oyster, and then through another piece of bacon, and so on until the skewer is filled. Arrange all the skewers neatly on a double broiler; broil quickly over a clear fire, first on one side then on the other. Serve at once on the skewers.
