It has earned its world-wide reputation by always maintaining the highest standard of quality through several generations. Messrs. Lea & Perrins alone hold the recipe for manufacturing the original Worcestershire Sauce, and the flavor and quality of their sauce is the recognized standard throughout the world. It is known in South Africa, in India, in far China and Japan, in South America, in Canada, as well as America. It stands on the tables of every-equipped dinning car, steam- ship line, luxurious hotel and in millions of homes; the housekeeper also uses it in cooking to give zest and unequalled flavor to the simple but delicious dishes which she prepares at home. Every bottle of the original Worcestershire Sauce bears their signature, thus: If Lea & Perrins ’ signature does not appear on the wrapper and label, it is not the original Worcestershire. When ordering sauce, order by the name “Lea & Perrins” and thus get the original Worcestershire. For additional copies of this book, write Lea & Perrins 241 WEST STREET, NEW YORK, N. Y.

It is the new "dinner appetizer” — the piquancy and "punch” of which come from the delicious appetizer dressing — seasoned with Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. This Appetizer Dressing is made by combining in the proper proportions, the finest table catsup with the finest table sauce — Lea & Perrins’ Sauce — the original Worcestershire. It is the zest — the inimitable flavor and the unequalled seasoning power — of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce which makes these new first courses for dinner worthy of the "Dinner Appetizer” name. These new Dinner Appetizers are not only inexpensive and easy to prepare at home, but they seem to surround the home table with the attractive and costly atmosphere of the most luxurious hotel. A wine, cocktail, sundae or other glass is placed in the center of a small plate. The appetizer — tomato, devilled egg, mushroom, shrimp, beet or olive — is arranged on lettuce leaves on the plate around the glass, and the glass is filled with the appetizer dressing. These are placed with an oyster or other fork on a service plate at each individual cover just before dinner is announced and create an attractive and appetizing impression as each guest enters the dining room. Each appetizer and lettuce leaf is dipped in the Appetizer Dressing just before it is eaten. To vary the arrangement of these dinner appetizers the Appe- tizer Dressing may be served in a tomato shell, or a green pepper case from which all seeds and pulp have been removed, or in a little cup cut from bread, and fried in deep fat for forty seconds to brown and harden the surface. APPETIZER DRESSING Improved with Lea & Perrins ’ Sauce 2 teaspoonfuls of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. 4 tablespoonfuls of tomato catsup. For every individual service desired, use the above proportions of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce and tomato catsup. Add the Lea & Per- rins’ to the catsup, blend well, and put in the ice-box to chill. Place this dressing in a chilled cocktail, sundae or other glass in the center of a small plate and serve surrounding with crisp lettuce leaves on which tomato, devilled egg, shrimp, sardine or other attractive dinner appetizers have been arranged. The lettuce and appetizers are dipped in the dressing with an oyster fork and eaten. SEASONING SUGGESTIONS 5 TOMATO APPETIZER Improved with Lea a Perrins ' Sauce One tomato may be used for two services. Put the tomatoes in a wire strainer and quickly dip in and out of boiling water. Place immediately in cold water and peel. Place on ice to chill thoroughly. When ready to serve, quarter each tomato and re- cut each quarter into two or three parts, depending on the size. Ar- range these on crisp lettuce leaves around a cocktail, sundae or other glass containing the Appetizer Dress- ing. Serve with an oyster fork. Dip each tomato and leaf in the Ap- petizer Dressing just before eating. DEVILLED EGG APPETIZER Improved with Lea a Perrins' Sauce Use one hard-cooked egg for each individual service. Cut the egg in half and remove the yolk to a bowl. Add 1 tablespoonful of grated cheese, *4 teaspoonful of salt and a drop of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce to each yolk of egg. Cream all together and refill egg white. Cut each egg half into four quarter pieces and place on lettuce leaves. Arrange the Appetizer Dressing in a glass in cen- ter of plate. Serve with oyster fork. BEET BALL APPETIZER Improved with Lea A Perrins' Sauce Cut small balls from a cooked beet with a fancy potato ball cutter, or cut a small beet into quarters and recut each quarter into suitable sizes. Place the cut beets in a bowl and cover with vinegar. Chill. When ready to serve drain off vinegar and roll each piece of beet in finely grated cheese. Arrange on lettuce with the Appetizer Dressing in a glass in the center of the plate and serve with an oyster fork. SARDINE APPETIZER Improved with Lea a Perrins' Sauce Cut large canned sardines into pieces easily handled with an oyster fork and arrange on lettuce with the Appetizer Dressing in a glass in the center of the plate. SHRIMP APPETIZER Improved with Lea a Perrins' Sauce Arrange small canned shrimps on lettuce leaves, place the Appetizer Dressing in a glass at one side or the center of the plate and serve with an oyster fork. Dip each shrimp and leaf in the Appetizer Dressing just before it is eaten. MUSHROOM APPETIZER Improved with Lea a Perrins' Sauce Remove the stems from fresh mushrooms, peel the caps and cook in slowly boiling, salted water for ten or fifteen minutes. If canned mushrooms are used, drain, remove stems and cook slowly in freshly boiling, salted water for five min- utes. Drain the mushrooms, cool and place in ice box to chill. When ready to serve, arrange the mush- rooms on crisp lettuce leaves and place the Appetizer Dressing in a glass in the center of the plate. Serve with an oyster fork. Each mushroom and lettuce leaf are dipped in the dressing just before eating. LEA & PERRINS’ CLAM COCKTAIL Improved with Lea a Perrins' Sauce 25 clams with own juice. 4 cupfuls of water. 3 large stalks of celery. Add the water and celery to the clams and juice and boil seven min- utes. Strain through fine cloth and cool. Serve in cups, adding to each cup 1 teaspoonful of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. NOTE. — Canned or bottled clam bouillon may be used in this recipe in place of the clams. In this case, use only 2 cupfuls of water and 2 cupfuls of the canned clam bouillon. OYSTER OR CLAM APPETIZER Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce When oysters or clams are to be served on the half shell, place the Appetizer Dressing in a small glass in the center of each plate. 6 w LEA & PERRINS’ Dishes Improved with Lea & Perrins’ Sauce on the Table GOLD MEATS FISH Improved by adding Lea & Perrins ’ Sauce at the table.

But the thing that makes them seem more varied' — the different feature of each is the dressing or gravy that is served with them — the dressing which is made through the inimitable flavor of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce, a distinguishing addition to the dish. The zest, the piquancy, the keen edge which Lea & Perrins’ Sauce gives to a dressing or gravy has long been known and used to advantage by the high-salaried chefs of our luxurious restaurants and hotels. And now that the chef's secret is known, every home- maker has at her fingers' ends the basic knowledge for creating from one or two recipes an infinite variety of rich, delicious dress- ings that will transform the plainest food and make the simplest home meal an appetizing repast. Foods that are too dry can be bettered with a thin dressing — enhanced by the addition of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce; for more moist foods a thicker gravy, also seasoned with Lea & Perrins’ Sauce, should be added. Plain dishes may be embellished, rich dishes 4 ‘toned down" with contrasting flavors. But whether the dressing be thick or thin, mild or rich, the addition of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce improves beyond your expectation the recipe wherein it is used. Its flavor cannot be imitated, and it has never been equalled. It is the original Worcestershire — and the only all-perfect seasoning. Lea & Perrins are the sole manufacturers of the Original Worcestershire Sauce. Be sure to add Lea & Perrins’ Sauce to all recipes. DIFFERENT KINDS OF DRESSINGS There are two big classes of dressings, brown and white. The brown dressings are usually made with meat juices or extracts known as "stock," or by first browning the flour which is used to thicken them. The white or cream dressings are made with white stock, the water in which vegetables, onion, celery, rice, chicken or mutton have been cooked, milk or cream as the liquid ingredient, and thickened with white flour. The brown dressings are more frequently served with meats, poultry and game, the white or cream dressings with fish and vegetables. Dressings are also named by the main ingredient from which they gain their flavor, as Mushroom Dressing, Tomato Dressing, Mint Dressing, Cheese Dressing. Other dressings are classified by the ingredient with which they are thickened, as Flour and Butter Dressings, Cornstarch Dressings, Egg Dressings and Drawn Butter Dressings. i 1 i c a SI * ti r In ca to fo qn k in Ba sei fo’ SEASONING SUGGESTIONS HOW AND WHEN TO SEASON DRESSINGS WITH LEA & PERRINS’ SAUCE To procure the full zest, piquancy and flavor of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce in seasoning any dressing or gravy, you must add the Lea & Perrins Sauce just before removing the dressing from the fire. If the dressing must stand for any length of time, do not add Lea & Perrins’ Sauee until just before serving time. The proportion of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce to add to meat dress- ings and gravies is, for an average taste, about two teaspoonfuls of Lea & Perrins’ to every cupful of dressing. To delicate white stock dressings and vegetable sauces, in which the flavor of the vegetable should dominate, use one-half of a teaspoonful of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce to every cupful of dressing. When such vegetables as onion, bay leaf, carrots or other highly seasoned vegetables are used in a sauce, they should be cooked in the butter or fat with which the sauce is made before the liquid is added. But if the vegetable which is used in the dress- ing is to be retained in the sauce, it is frequently added after the dressing has been completed. This is the case when chopped olives, asparagus tips, mushrooms and other vegetables are used.

This sauce is good with roasted meats, croquettes or stews. * STOCK. — When brown meat stock or white vegetable stock is mentioned in a recipe it means the water in which the meat or vegetable was cooked In case of roasting or broiling, the juices, which cook out of the meat are used MUSHROOM DRESSING Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Add % cupful of finely chopped, canned or fresh cooked mushrooms to the Basic Brown Dressing.

It will blend with whatever herb, spice or vegetable the recipe requires, and in cases where certain spices are hard to obtain it will, with its own inimitable piquancy, give the dish a perfect, complete and unequalled flavor. In earlier days the fishermen each brought their own share of fish to the big family caldron, and when the dish, which contained biscuits, onions and a “hodge-podge” of other vegetables, was finished, the members of the family received an equal share. So a real genuine chowder should be composed of fish, although we have to-day many combinations of vegetable chowders. FISH CHOWDER Improved with Lea & Perrins * Sauce 1 tablespoonful of Lea & Perrins' 12 soda crackers. Sauce. Salt. 3 pounds of fish. 3 cupfuls of white stock or rice pound of salt pork. water. 10 large potatoes. 3 tablespoonfuls of flour. 1 onion. 4 tablespoonfuls of butter.

Add the onion with the salt pork, both cut in small pieces. Strain this liquid through a fine strainer and pour over the white flaky part of the fish. Add the potatoes cut in small pieces, salt, and simmer until the potatoes are tender. Then add the white stock or rice water and the soda crackers cut in half and spread with part of the butter. Melt the rest of butter. Stir in the flour and add part of the liquid stock from the fish to make a smooth paste. Pour this back into the chow- der to thicken it. Add the Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. Serve in soup plates or from a soup tureen.

Add the Lea & Perrins’ Sauce and serve hot. GARNISHINGS FOR SOUP Improved with Lea Sc Perrins' Sauce The attractive garnishings which are served in soups in the big hotels are very easy to prepare at home and add a touch of luxury that more than pays for the trouble put into their making. EGG YOLKS IN SOUP GARNISHING Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce 1 tablespoonful of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. 6 egg yolks. 1 teaspoonful of salt. Use only fresh eggs, as the yolks must be kept whole. Slide the yolks — one at a time — carefully from a saucer into boiling water to which the salt and Lea & Perrins' Sauce have been added. Simmer until the yolks are set and serve one in each plate of consomme or other thin soup.

Arrange in a small vegetable dish and place one or two in each soup plate as it is served at the table. 1 I i s a E i c t ] 1 i « i c C f 1 a B t q s c SEASONING SUGGESTIONS 15 i CHAPTER IV CROQUETTES, TIMBALES, CASSEROLES, STEWS AND OTHER MEAT DISHES Improved with Lea & Perrins 9 Sauce One of the greatest problems in the average household is what to do with meat, fish or vegetables which are of too small a quantity to serve alone and yet too worth-while to be wasted. Deliciously seasoned with Lea & Perrins’ Sauce, croquettes, cutlets, meat cakes or creamed dishes, served in attractive bread and pastry cases, not only help to keep down the meat bill, but also to keep up the family's enthusiasm for mother's cooking. By forming the well- known cone-shaped croquette into a cylinder-shaped or a crescent- shaped cutlet, and serving it with any one of the delicious Spanish, Creole, Tomato or Mushroom Dressings given in Chapter II, an old recipe is made into a new dinner surprise. BASIC RECIPE FOR CROQUETTES Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce 2 tablespoonfuls of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. 4 tablespoonfuls of butter. 8 tablespoonfuls of flour. 1% cupfuls of stock or rice water. % teaspoonful of salt. 2 cupfuls of cooked meat. 1 egg. Bread crumbs. Melt the butter, add the salt, remove from fire and .stir in the flour until smooth. Add the stock or rice water slowly, stirring constantly, until all is added and boil for five minutes, or until thick and creamy. Add the cooked meat, ground, the Lea & Perrins’ Sauce, and cool. When thoroughly chilled, pat mixture into desired cylinder or cutlet shape and roll in bread crumbs. Beat the egg until well blended, adding to it 1 tablespoonful of melted butter and 3 tablespoonfuls of water. Dip the croquette in this egg mixture, roll in the bread crumbs again, and put into the ice-box for an hour or more t # o harden before frying. Fry in deep fat or oil which will brown a cube of bread to a golden brown in 40 seconds. Do not fry croquettes for more than 40 seconds. Drain in frying basket or on brown paper. If desired, pour 2 tablespoonfuls of oil or melted fat over the unfried croquettes and bake in a very hot oven for from five to eight minutes, dressing occasionally with more oil if necessary. Serve with Tomato, Cheese, Mushroom or Hollandaise sauce given in Chapter II. If croquettes have been shaped into cutlets, a macaroni stick is usually stuck in the pointed end to imitate a chop bone. VEAL CROQUETTES Improved with Lea Perrins' Sauce A delicious combination calls for 1 cupful of cooked and cubed veal and % cupful of rice in place of the meat required in the above recipe. Proceed as usual, shaping the cro- quette into cutlet or chop shape. Serve with a Tomato, Spanish, Creole or a Mushroom dressing. CHICKEN CUTLETS Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce For this use 1% cupfuls of cooked cubed chicken, or 1 cupful of chicken and y 2 cupful of cooked sweetbreads, celery or mushrooms as desired, in the Basic Croquette recipe. Serve with White, Celery or Oyster dress- ing given on page 10. 16 & PERRINS’ f » RICE CROQUETTES Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce 2 tablespoonfuls of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. 4 cupfuls of cooked rice. Vi cupful of grated cheese. 2 eggs. Bread crumbs. Add the grated cheese to the rice and bind the mixture together with 1 well-beaten egg to which 2 table- spoonfuls of water has been added. Add the Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. If too stiff, add a little more water, form into croquettes, roll in bread crumbs, beaten egg and bread crumbs again and chill. Fry in fat hot enough to brown a cube of bread in 40 seconds. Drain and serve with Spanish or Creole dressing. These croquettes may form the basis of a luncheon menu or may be served as a vege- table or side dish for dinner. • MACARONI CROQUETTES Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Cut cooked macaroni into fine pieces, and measure four cupfuls. Add V 2 cupful of grated cheese, bind the mixture together with 1 well- beaten egg, add 2 tablespoonfuls of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce, a little more water if the mixture is too stiff to mold, shape into croquettes, chill and fry as usual. PEANUT OR WALNUT CROQUETTES Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Use 4 cupfuls of ground peanuts or walnuts in place of meat in the Basic Croquette recipe. Add enough of the croquette sauce to the nuts to make them easy to mold. Shape in- to croquettes, roll in bread crumbs, egg and crumbs again and chill. Fry as usual. SWEET POTATO CROQUETTES Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce These are made the same way as the rice croquettes, using sweet po- tatoes in place of the rice in the Rice Croquettes recipe and omitting the cheese. MUSHROOM CROQUETTES Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce. For these use 2 cupfuls of chopped mushrooms in making the Basic Cro- quette recipe. Add to them just enough of the croquette sauce to mold firmly together. Shape and fry as usual. Serve with a Cream, Hol- landaise or Bernaise Sauce. SALMON CUTLETS Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Use 2 cupfuls of canned salmon and 2 cupfuls of cooked rice, adding 2 tablespoonfuls of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce, y<2, teaspoonful of salt and 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice. Bind together with an egg and shape into croquettes, rolling in bread crumbs and beaten egg as usual. Fry and serve with Tomato, Bernaise or Hol- landaise Sauce. PISH CUTLETS Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Proceed as in making Salmon Cut- lets, using the same proportions of any preferred cooked fish. SURPRISE CROQUETTES Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Press into the center of fish or meat croquettes, just before rolling in the bread crumbs, a raw oyster, a cooked mushroom, a stuffed olive or a piece of hard-cooked devilled egg. When the croquette is eaten the diner is delighted to find in the center this spicy surprise. 1 1 1 REMEMBER : — Lea & Perrins ’ is the Only Original Worcestershire Sauce. None of the so-called “Worcestershires” can be used in these recipes with good results. SEASONING SUGGESTIONS t I \ I I TIMBALES Improved with Lea & Perrins 9 Sauce Timbales are in reality very fine croquette mixtures, pressed into individual molds and poached in hot water or baked in the oven. In making timbales the meat, fish or vegetable is pounded or mashed until it is very fine and added to a very thick white sauce. This is poured into an oiled mold which is lined with buttered bread crumbs, macaroni, spaghetti, olives, peas or fancy cut pimentos. BASIC SAUCE FOR TIMBALES Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce 1 teaspoonful of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. 2 tablespoonfuls of butter. V 2 cupfril of flour. % cupful of boiling water. 1 egg- % teaspoonful of salt. Melt the butter and stir in half of the flour. Add half of the boiling water, stir until smooth. Add the rest of the flour slowly, stirring con- stantly, so that no lumps will be formed, and the rest of the boiling water, and the salt. Cook, stirring constantly to prevent scorching, until the whole sauce will leave the pan in one thick mass. Remove from fire and beat the egg, which has been well beaten, into the mixture. Add Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. Allow to cool, add desired ingredient and pour into buttered or oiled timbale molds and poach in hot water. CHICKEN TIMBALES Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Add 1 cupful of chicken meat which has been ground through a meat chopper and forced through a puree strainer to the Basic Timbale Sauce. Add also 3 finely chopped mushrooms. Fill oiled timbale molds, lined with one long piece of spaghetti, with the chicken timbale mixture and poach in boiling water or bake in a hot oven for ten min- utes. Serve with Mushroom or Cel- ery Sauce and garnish with parsley. FISH TIMBALES Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Add 1 cupful of finely picked fish which has been forced through a pur4e strainer to the Basic Timbale Sauce. Add an extra teaspoonful of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce and 1 table- spoonful of lemon juice. Blend well and force into well-oiled timbale molds. Poach or bake for ten min- utes and serve with Hollandaise Sauce. HAM TIMBALES Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Cut cold, boiled ham into fine pieces to make one cupful and run through finest cutter of meat chop- per. Run again through meat chop- per and then force through pur6e strainer. Add this to the Basic Tim- bale Sauce and fill into timbale mold w r hich has been oiled and lined with olive rings. Poach in hot water for ten minutes or bake in the oven for that time. Serve with Bernaise sauce and garnish with parsley. 18 & PERRINS’ r > STEWS AND CASSEROLE DISHES Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce In stews and casserole dishes our object is to make tender by slow, long cooking the meat selected, besides cooking with it herbs, spices and vegetables to supplement and flavor it. Of all the spices and herbs which it is possible to add to these casserole dishes and stews, there is no seasoning that will produce just that zestful, appetizing flavor which Lea & Perrins’ Sauce — itself a secret blend of the finest spices — gives. Use it freely in seasoning all kinds of long-cooked meat dishes — goulashes, pot roasts, ragouts, stews, casseroles and meat pies. Use it also in making meat loaf and rolled meated dishes, in cro- quettes and timbales. In fact, wherever you use meat in cooking, remember to — Improve it with Lea & Perrins 9 Sauce BEEF STEW Improved with Lea & Perrins’ Sauce 2 tablespoonfuls of Lea & Perrins * Sauce. 3 pounds of stewing beef. 1 onion. 1 carrot. 6 potatoes. 1 turnip. (1 cupfuls of water. 1 green pepper. Select a piece of shin meat, the flank end of a roast or a cut of the chuck ribs, as these contain fat meat, lean meat and a little bone, all of which are necessary to a good stow. Cut the meat from the bones, wipe the bones carefuly to remove any small cracked pieces and place in stewing kettle. Add the 6 cupfuls of boiling water. Melt a piece of fat, from the meat, in a shallow pan and cook the cut onion in it until brown. Slice and brown the carrot and turnip, and add to the kettle. Braise the meat in these same fat drippings, turning frequently and cooking on all sides until white, which closes the meat tubes and keeps the juices within the meat during the long, slow cooking that follows. Add the meat and the drippings in which it was cooked to the stewing kettle. Remove seeds and pulp from pepper and add to the stew. Simmer slowly for three hours or until the meat is tender. Skim the fat from the kettle and remove the bones. Add the potatoes, which have been washed, peeled and cut in quarters. Cook until these are done and the meat will be ready to serve. Add the Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. Ar- range the carrot, turnip, onion, pep- per and potato around the meat on a platter. Thicken the stock left in the kettle with shortening and flour. Add an extra teaspoonful of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce, and serve. RAGOUT OF MUTTON OR LAMB Improved with Lea & Perrins’ Sauce 2 tablespoonfuls of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. 3 pounds of mutton or lamb. 2 onions. 2 carrots. H potatoes. 2 cupfuls of tomato juice. 1 teaspoonful of salt. Cube the meat into pieces two inches square and sear in drippings from the fat of the meat. Put meat in kettle and cover with water. Brown the onion in the drippings and add with salt and drippings to meat. Simmer for two hours or more, skim off fat, add the tomato juice, the po- tatoes peeled and cut in quarters and the carrot cubed or cut in balls with a potato cutter. Remove meat from stew, place on platter sur- rounded with the vegetables, add the Lea & Perrins’ Sauce to the meat stock, and pour over the meat and vegetables. Serve at once. SEASONING SUGGESTIONS C 1 19 » ♦ LAMB KIDNEY STEW Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce 1 tablespoonful of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. 6 lamb kidneys. 1 teaspoonful of salt. 2 tablespoonfuls of drippings. 2 tablespoonfuls of flour. 1 cupful of water or meat stock. Remove all skin and fat from the kidneys and set them in water to cover, to which a handful of salt has been added. Let stand three or four hours, or, if possible, over-night. Re- move water, put in pan with fresh water to cover and slowly bring to boiling point but do not boil. Drain and cut into tiny pieces. Brown the drippings and saute the cut kidneys in them. Add the flour and stir until smooth, then the water or meat stock slowly, stirring constantly to make a smooth gravy. Add the Lea & Perrins’ Sauce, Pour over toast on a hot platter and serve. CASSEROLE OF VEAL WITH CARROTS AND PEAS Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce 1 tablespoonful of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. 2 pounds of breast of veal. 2 pieces of salt pork. 4 carrots. 1 cupful of peas. 3 potatoes. 1 onion. Cut the veal into small pieces and sear it in a shallow pan in drippings from one piece of the salt pork. Place the veal in a glass casserole greased with the salt pork. Brown the onion in the salt pork and add to the casserole. Cut the second piece of salt pork into small squares and add to casserole. Cover meat with water and cook in oven for an hour. Cut the potatoes and carrot into dice-shaped pieces. Add these with the peas to the casserole about half an hour before it is ready to take from the oven. Blanched rice added at the same time is often a welcome addition. When both meat and vegetables are tender, add the Lea & Perrins’ Sauce and serve at once in the dish in which it was baked. ROASTED MEAT LOAF Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce 1 tablespoonful of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. 3 cupfuls of finely ground raw meat (about 2 pounds). 2 cupfuls of soft bread crumbs. 2 slices of bacon. 1 cupful of celery. 1 green pepper. 1 onion. 1 egg- Mix the finely ground meat with the bread crumbs and celery. Add the chopped green pepper, a little salt and pepper, the egg well beaten and the Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. Add enough water to make mixture moist and pack into greased brick-shaped pan. Place in ice-box to chill and remove when cold to a greased roast- ing pan, turning the loaf out of the mold. Place the bacon cut into thick strips on top of the loaf and also slices of the onion. Pour a cupful of thin tomato sauce over the whole and roast the meat in a hot oven for from fifty minutes to an hour. Serve hot with Tomato Sauce, sliced onion and crisp bacon. POLENTA Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce 1 tablespoonful of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. 1 cupful of yellow cornmeal. 2 cupfuls of boiling water. 2 cupfuls of cold water. 1 teaspoonful of salt. 2 tablespoonfuls of butter. 4 tablespoonfuls of grated cheese. Cover the cornmeal with the cold water and let stand five minutes. Add to the boiling water and cook directly over the fire for half an hour. Add the salt, the Lea & Per- rins’ Sauce, the grated cheese and the butter. Cook five minutes more and pour into a buttered baking dish and serve with Creole Sauce given on page 9. FRIED POLENTA Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Allow the polenta to cool, cut into 1-in.ch squares, roll in egg and bread crumbs and fry in deep fat. Serve with Tomato, Creole or Spanish Sauce given on pages 9 and 10. 20 & PERRINS’ CHAPTER V EGGS, OMELETS, SOUFFLES, CREOLE AND RICE DISHES Improved with Lea & Perrins ’ Sauce It is almost unbelievable until you have tried it — to discover how surprisingly delicious just a drop or two of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce can make a soft-boiled breakfast egg taste. And when you have tried it, you will want furthermore to fry and poach, scramble, omelet and souffle all of the eggs that you cook with just a little of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce added as an inimitable seasoning. SOFT-BOILED EGG Improved with Lea & Perrins * Sauce There are several ways of cooking a soft-boiled egg — the best of which is not to boil it at all. Use one pint of boiling water for each egg to be cooked. Carefully lower the egg into the water, cover the saucepan and let stand on back of stove for eight or ten minutes. Do not increase or diminish heat. The white of the egg will be tender and the yolk firm all the way through, instead of the yolk being partly uncooked and the white very tough as is the case with a three- minute boiled egg. Still another way is to put the egg on in cold water and remove as soon as the water boils. Remove egg from shell to a hot egg cup and add a large piece of butter, a bit of salt and 2 or 3 drops of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. Blend well and serve at once. PRIED EGGS Improved with Lea & Perrins * Sauce Eggs should never be fried, as this method of cooking, like boiling, toughens the albumen. However, if your family must have fried eggs, you will find the addition of a tea- spoonful of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce to the fat in which they are cooked a decided improvement to the eggs. Put the Lea & Perrins’ Sauce on the table and serve with the eggs. POACHED EGGS Improved with Lea & Perrins * Sauce Brush a heavy iron frying pirn with oil and add boiling water to the depth of an inch or more. Add 1 tablespoonful of Lea & Perrins* Sauce and a pinch of salt. Break fresh eggs into a saucer and gently slip from saucer to water. Cook without allowing water to boil until the egg is firm. Remove with skim- mer or quickly dip piece of toast under egg and lift out at once. Drain, then put on hot plate and serve. If one is fortunate enough to have an egg poacher, poaching eggs is an even simpler matter. Serve with Lea & Perrins’ Sauce on the table. BAKED EGG Improved with Lea & Perrins * Sauce Grease an individual glass or fire- proof ramekin with oil or butter and break an egg into it. Sprinkle with salt and season with a few drops of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. Bake sur- rounded by water in a moderate oven for from five to ten minutes and serve with Lea & Perrins’ Sauce at the table. EGG IN NEST Improved with Lea & Perrins * Sauce Beat the white of an egg with a sprinkling of salt until light and frothy and pile on top of a piece of toast in an individual ovenware dish. Make a slight dent on the top of the egg white and carefully place the yolk in the center; add a drop of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. Place in a pan of water and cook in a mod- erate oven until yolk and white are set. Serve with Lea & Perrins’ Sauce at the table. 1 SEASONING SUGGESTIONS 'O SHIRRED EGG Improved with Lea & Perrins ' Sauce Add 1 teaspoonful of Lea & Per- rins’ Sauce to 2 tablespoonfuls of finely chopped ham or bacon and 2 tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs. Add enough oil or butter to blend well, and press against the buttered sides and bottom of an individual baking dish. Break an egg into the dish and sprinkle top with buttered bread crumbs. Bake in a moderate oven, the dish being surrounded with hot water. Serve in the dish in which it was baked with Lea & Perrins’ Sauce at the table. Mashed potato, spinach or tomato are often used to fill sides and bottom of ramekin. SCRAMBLED EGGS Improved with Lea & Perrins ’ Sauce In Scrambling eggs, great care should be exercised in the cooking, the mixture being of a custard-like, creamy consistency when finished, and not dry and lumpy as some scrambled eggs become. The secret is in allowing the egg to cook as much in the heat of the pan as over the fire. Keep stirring the mixture constantly removing the pan from the fire if the eggs seem to get too dry in any one spot. In scrambling eggs, beat the egg until light and add for each egg used, 2 tablespoonfuls of water and a few drops of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. OMELETS AND SOUFFLES Improved with Lea & Perrins’ Sauce An omelet may be made with or without separating the yolks and whites of the eggs, the one being called a plain — the other a fluffy omelet. A souffle is a fluffy omelet made with a white sauce foundation and baked in the oven. Cheese, tomatoes, chopped meats and vegetables are all attrac- tive additions to these dishes, but, no matter what else may be added, Lea & Perrins’ Sauce as a seasoning for omelets and souffles cannot be equalled. PLAIN OMELET FLUTPY OMELET Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce 1 tablespoonful of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. 3 eggs. 3 tablespoonfuls of water. % teaspoonful of salt. 1 tablespoonful of butter. Beat the eggs without separating and add the water. Add the salt, the butter melted and the Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. Heat a heavy iron frying pan and grease well with oil, bacon fat or shortening. Pour in the egg and lower heat under pan. Tilt pan backward and forward and from side to side, allowing liquid to run under egg as it cooks. When cooked throughout, run spatulate or knife under omelet and roll it into a roll. Turn out on platter and serve with toast or any desired addition. Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce 1 tablespoonful of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. 4 eggs. 6 tablespoonfuls of water. V 2 teaspoonful of salt. 1 tablespoonful of butter. Separate the eggs; add the water, salt and melted butter to the yolks. Also add the Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. Beat the whites until light and frothy and carefully fold them into the yolks. Grease a heavy iron pan with bacon fat and pour in the omelet. Lower heat under pan and let cook slowly until brown on the bottom and almost dry. Place lid over pan and let dry on top, or place in oven for two minutes. Cut the omelet lightly on the top and fold over without breaking under part. Turn out on platter and serve at once. 22 s — ^ LEA & PERRINS’ TOMATO OMELET Improved with Lea & Perrins ' Sauce Spread sliced and fried tomatoes in between the omelet before folding and pour the tomato gravy, which cooked out of the tomatoes in fry- ing, over the finished dish. SPANISH OMELET Improved with Lea & Perrins ' Sauce Just before folding omelet over, spread with the following mixture and pour what is left, over the whole omelet after it is placed on the platter: 2 finely chopped onions, 1 chopped green pepper, a few cut olives, and, if possible, a few mush- rooms. Saute these ingredients in 2 teaspoonfuls of oil, add 1 cupful of tomato juice and spread in between and pouf over omelet. CORN OMELET Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Spread the omelet with cooked corn before folding. VEGETABLE OMELET Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Spread the omelet with any de- sired combination of, or individually cooked vegetable, as peas, carrots, asparagus, cauliflower, onions. This also helps to use up any vegetables of which too small a quantity has been left to permit using them alone. The vegetable used should be heated in a little butter or cooking oil to which a few drops of Lea & Perrins * Sauce have been added. PLAIN S CHEESE OMELET Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Sprinkle grated cheese over the omelet before and after folding. Or add cupful of grated cheese to the omelet in the making. BACON OMELET Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Fry four or five slices of bacon until crisp. Use the bacon drippings in place of the butter in making and frying the omelet. Spread the bacon, cut into small pieces, on the omelet before folding. Garnish the plate with bacon. Serve at once. HAM OMELET Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Chop previously fried ham very fine and reheat in some fat to which Lea & Perrins' Sauce has been added. Spread on omelet. SARDINE OMELET Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Saut§ some sardines in a little cooking oil to which Lea & Perrins' Sauce has been added and spread on omelet before folding. KIDNEY OR CHICKEN LIVER OMELET Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce Reheat previously cooked chicken livers or kidneys in a little cooking oil to which Lea & Perrins’ Sauce has been added and spread on omelet before folding. Pour a little kidney or liver gravy over omelet. Improved with Lea & Perrins' Sauce 1 tablespoonful of Lea & Perrins' Sauce. 2 tablespoonfuls of shortening. 2 tablespoonfuls of flour. V <2 cupful of milk or water. 3 eggs. Melt the shortening, stir in the flour until smooth, remove from the fire and slowly stir in the liquid. Add the salt and cook for three or four minutes or until a thick, smooth sauce is made. Beat the yolks of the eggs until creamy and add to the sauce. Remove from the fire and add the stiffly- beaten wdiites of the eggs. Add the Lea & Perrins' Sauce. Pour into a buttered baking dish, place dish in a pan of hot water and bake in a slow oven for twenty or twenty-five minutes. Serve at once. The dish in which a souffld is baked should be broad and wide rather than high and narrow, to prevent the souffle from rising too high in the center and then falling. It is a big help to pin a buttered paper band around a souffle dish before baking, so that it will rise easily without over- flowing. SEASONING SUGGESTIONS 23 CHEESE SOUFFLE Improved with Lea Sc Perrins' Sauce For this, use tomato juice in place of the milk or water in the plain Souffld recipe and add 1 cupful of grated cheese just before folding in the egg whites. Pour into a buttered baking dish and bake as usual. MUSHROOM SOUFFLE Improved with Lea Sc Perrins' Sauce Use 1 cupful of mushroom gravy in making the sauce for the Basic Souffle and add 1 cupful of finely chopped mushrooms before folding in the egg whites. OLIVE AND PEPPER SOUFFLE Improved with Lea Sc Perrins' Sauce- Add *4 cupful of finely chopped olives and the same amount of finely chopped peppers to the Plain Souffle before the egg whites are added. Proceed and bake as before. CHICKEN SOUFFLE Improved with Lea Sc Perrins' Sauce Increase the amount of liquid in the Plain Souffle recipe to 1 cupful and add 2 cupfuls of very finely ground chicken meat to sauce before folding in egg whites. Chicken stock may be used as liquid. OYSTER SOUFFLE Improved with Lea Sc Perrins' Sauce Substitute oyster liquor for water in making the Plain Souffle recipe and add % cupful of finely chopped panned oysters to the Souffle before folding in the egg whites. HAM SOUFFLE Improved with Lea Sc Perrins' Sauce Increase the liquid used in the Plain Souffle recipe to 1 cupful and add before folding in the egg white 1 cupful of very finely chopped ham. RICE AND CREOLE DISHES CREOLE RICE Improved with Lea Sc Perrins' Sauce 2 tablcspoonfuls of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. 2 green peppers. 1 onion. % cupful of ham. 4 tablespoonfuls of oil. 1 cupful of rice. 3 cupfuls of tomato juice. 4 tomatoes. Melt the shortening, and saute in this oil the green peppers finely chopped, the sliced onion, and the ham, finely ground. Put the rice i n a sieve and dip into rapidly boiling water for five minutes. Add with the tomato juice to the other ingredients. Cook directly over the fire for twen- ty minutes, add the whole tomatoes cut into slices and finish the cooking in the top of a double boiler. Add the Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. When the rice is puffed and flaky the dish is ready to serve. SCALLOPED RICE AND CHEESE Improved with Lea Sc Perrins' Sauce 1 tablespoonful of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce. 2 cupfuls of cooked rice. 1 tablespoon ful of oil. 1 tablespoonful of flour. 1 cupful of finely grated cheese. 1 cupful of rice water. Bread crumbs. Stir the flour into the oil until a smooth paste is formed. Add the rice water slowly, stirring con- stantly. Add the Lea & Perrins’ Sauce and the grated cheese. Ar- range the cooked rice in a well- greased baking dish and pour the cheese sauce over it. Sprinkle the top with bread crumbs and brown in the oven. Serve hot. MACARONI AND CHEESE Improved with Lea Sc Perrins' Sauce This dish is made in the same way as the rice and cheese dish, filling the casserole with macaroni instead of rice. 24 PERRINS’ CHAPTER VI CHAFING DISH SUPPERS Improved with Lea & Perrins’ Sauce CHAFING DISH SUPPER MENU To be prepared with Lea & Perrins’ Sauce in the cooking Welsh or Tomato Rarebit on Toasted Crackers Devilled Ham, Celery and Lettuce Sandwiches Salted Nuts Stuffed Olives Coffee or Ginger Ale Orange Juice High Ball At no other time do we so desire tasty, spicy piquant food as when we have a chafing dish supper. And there is no other dish wherein the supreme quality of Lea & Perrins’ Sauce shows off to better advantage than in the chafing dish recipe. For the midnight college spread — the Welsh, Cheese or Tomato Rarebits — for the kitchenette apartment dinner of Creamed Dried Beef, Ham, Shrimps or Eggs, or for the simple home Sunday night supper of Creamed Oysters, Chicken or Chicken a la King — Lea & Perrins’ Sauce — the original Worcestershire — forms the unsurpassed, the perfect seasoning. A chafing dish is composed of two flat pans, one called the blazer, the other the hot-water pan. The usual chafing dish recipe directs the first cooking of the material to be directly over the heat — and is finished and the food kept hot over the hot-water pan. The chafing dish, particularly if it is one in which alcohol is the heating element, should always be placed on a tray, to avoid any danger from fire or a possible “boiling over” of the food. A wooden or chafing dish spoon is a help although not essential. The butter, flour and things necessary for the dish to be made should be measured and placed on the tray besides the chafing dish so that the recipe may be made up without hurry or getting up and down from the table. With electric grills the toast may be made under the grill while the other things are cooking above. WELSH RAREBIT Improved with Lea & Perrins’ Sauce 1 teaspoonful of Lea & Perrins ’ Sauce. 1 tablespoonful of butter. 2 cupfuls of grated American cheese. V 2 cupful of cream. Buttered soda crackers or toast. Melt the butter in the blazer over the hot-’water pan, in which the water should be boiling.
