About This Book

A practical compendium of vegetarian recipes that omits fish and focuses on accessible, nourishing dishes organized by vegetable and method. It provides step-by-step preparations for fritters, soufflés, pies, rissoles, salads, moulds and numerous other forms, plus a selection of sauces and culinary tips. The author stresses economy and ease of execution for the average cook, highlights the dietary role of dairy, eggs, fats, cheese and nuts, and urges careful attention to technique and ingredients to achieve reliable results.

CORNETS WITH CELERY CREAM

Some light puff paste, 4 ozs. celery, cooked and sieved, ¹⁄₄ pint thick white sauce, made with half cream and half milk stock, 2 hard-boiled eggs (coarsely chopped), 1 raw egg, minced parsley, Parmesan, seasoning.

Method.—Mix the celery, sauce, and eggs in a basin, ascertain if more seasoning is required, and place the basin on the stove in a stewpan of hot water. Roll out the paste thinly, cut it into rounds of a suitable size, and wrap it neatly round some buttered cornet-moulds; moisten the edges of the paste and join them, then brush the paste over with beaten egg and bake at once in a well-heated oven. When done, slip the cornets off the moulds and fill them with the prepared celery; scatter a little grated Parmesan and parsley, mixed together, over the filling, and serve with as little delay as possible, garnished with fried parsley. Salsify, asparagus, or peas can be served in the same way.
