    ORANGE CAKE.

    Beat to a cream the yolks of four eggs with one
    cup of granulated sugar, to which add the whites of
    two eggs beaten to a stiff froth, one-half cup of milk
    alternately with one and a half cups of sifted flour
    into which a teaspoonful and a half of baking pow-
    der has been well mixed. Beat well and bake in three
    layers if the pans are large, or four if small, in a quick
    oven from seven to ten minutes, try with a broom
    straw, and when it comes out clean remove from the
    oven. Don’t let them bake a moment too long, or
    they will not absorb the icing.

    FILLING. The whites of two eggs beaten to a
    stiff froth, to which add a cup of powdered sugar,
    pouring it in all at once and beating hard, then the
    grated rind of an orange select one dark in color
    and the juice. The mixture should be like a thick
    cream. Spread thickly on the cake while hot, and to
    what is left add enough sugar about half a cupful
    for frosting to harden. Ice the top and sides. This
    is a delicious cake, easily and quickly made.

    CARAMEL CUSTARD BAKED.

    A pint and a half of rich milk, a cup and a half of
    granulated sugar, the fourth of a vanilla bean. Put
    the milk and vanilla bean cut small into a double
    boiler over the fire. Melt the sugar -without water
    in a spider, stirring constantly until it is all dissolved
    and the syrup is a rich golden brown. Do not let it
    get too dark or it will be bitter. When the milk is at
    the boiling point stir in half the boiling syrup if put
    in too fast the milk will boil over. Let it cook until
    the sugar (if it hardened as it touched the milk) dis-
    solves. Have four eggs beaten very light in a bowl,
    pour the milk over them, add a little salt, and if
    vanilla bean is not used for flavoring, stir in extract
    of vanilla to taste. Rinse a mould with cold water,
    pour the custard into it and set it in a pan of hot
    water in the oven, bake from twenty to twenty-five
    minutes and test with a knife. If it comes out clean
    it is done. Add boiling water to the remainder of
    the syrup and let it cook gently until it is the con-
    sistency of thick cream. Flavor with vanilla. Serve
    very cold.

    SOFT-BOILED CUSTARD.

    Put a quart of rich milk in a double boiler over
    the fire with a third of a vanilla bean, split in half,
    and sugar to taste. Beat the whites of six eggs to a
    stiff froth, add three heaping teaspoonfuls of granu-
    lated sugar, and when the milk conies to the boiling
    point drop the whites of eggs into it by tablespoon-
    fuls in egg-shape, turn them over in the hot milk for
    a few seconds, repeat until all are done, drain them
    and return the milk to the saucepan. Beat the six
    egg yolks to a light cream, turn the hot milk over it
    gradually and pour the custard back into the boiler ;
    return to the fire and stir vigorously until it thickens
    and is smooth to the taste. Remove from the fire,
    pour at once into a bowl, add a little salt, and set
    aside to cool. Then put on the ice and at serving
    time turn into a glass bowl, arrange the whites of
    eggs on top and serve with sponge cake.

    A DESSERT OF MIXED FRUIT. Peel some sweet, juicy oranges, removing all the white, bitter skin, cut in thin slices and put a layer at the bottom of a glass dish, sprinkle with sugar, then put a layer of freshly grated cocoanut and a layer of bananas, cut in thin slices, and repeat, beginning again with oranges, until the bowl is full, finishing with a layer of cocoanut. Pour over it any juice that may have run from the oranges, and if liked a glass or two of sherry may be added. Serve very cold. GOOSEBERRY PUDDING. Use either ripe or unripe English gooseberries for this pudding, stem and pick off the flower, wash and cover with water and cook until tender, strain through a sieve. Return to the fire, let it come to a boil, sweeten to taste, flavor with cinnamon and some almonds blanched and cut fine. Stiffen with potato flour as in other fruit puddings a table- spoonful to a quart of the puree and mould and serve in the same -way. PINEAPPLE MERINGUE. Half a large or one small pineapple grated, two ounces of butter, three of granulated sugar, an ounce and a half of grated bread crumbs, the yolks of three eggs and the whites of four. Cream the butter and sugar, add the yolks and one white of egg beaten well together, then the fruit and bread crumbs ; turn into a pudding dish and bake twenty minutes. Beat three whites of eggs to a stiff froth and add three- quarters of a cup of granulated sugar to it, flavor with a few drops of almond extract, spread over the pudding, set the dish in a pan of warm water in the oven and bake about ten or fifteen minutes. Test with a straw; when it conies out clean it is done. Serve cold. PRUNE SOUFFLE. Soak three-quarters of a pound of prunes in water to cover them over night, cook until soft in the water they were soaked in, drain, take out the stones and press through a puree sieve. Add half a cup of granulated sugar and the whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Bake in a pudding dish twenty minutes. Serve in the dish in which it is baked, cold, with cream. PRUNE MOULD. Prepare a prune puree as above and to the same
    ” quantity have a third of a box of gelatine soaked in
    a little of the water the prunes were cooked in, and
    dissolved over the teakettle. Stir quickly into the
    puree, then add three whites of eggs beaten to a stiff
    froth. Wet a mould and pour the mixture into it ;
    set on the ice to congeal. Turn out on a glass dish
    and serve with cream.

    STEWED DRIED FIGS.

    Wash and cut in half two dozen dried figs, slice
    very thin one small lemon, add to the figs, put in a
    saucepan and pour over them cold water almost to
    cover. Let them cook until the lemon is clear.
    Sweeten to taste.

    I’d like to get in touch with expatriates poeple living near aix en provence, pertuis, le luberon. I need to know how many of them would be interested in learning french cooking at home, having some help to carry out administrative formalities, assistance in everyday life. To start such an activity, the best way is to know if you would be interested in it. Thank you for your reply.

    EGGS WITH CREAM.

    Melt a small lump of butter in a shallow baking
    dish and break into it carefully six eggs, pour over
    them a third of a cup of boiling cream, place in a
    very quick oven long enough to set the whites of
    eggs and serve at once in the dish in which they are
    baked. Two or three minutes will cook them.

    CURRIED EGGS.

    Boil six eggs hard, cut in half lengthwise, make a
    white sauce and stir into it a heaping teaspoonful of
    curry powder ; put the eggs carefully into this sauce,
    heat thoroughly, lift them out and place in the center
    of a dish. Arrange boiled rice around them, pour the
    sauce over the eggs, garnish with parsley and serve.

    STUFFED EGGS.

    Boil six eggs hard, cut in half lengthwise, take
    out the yolks and mash them very fine ; put aside a
    heaping teaspoonful of it, add to the rest two tea-
    spoonfuls of butter, three teaspoonfuls of rich cream,
    a few drops of onion juice, and salt and pepper to
    taste ; mix well, fill the whites of eggs, rounding the
    top of each to the size of a whole egg. Make a white
    sauce as follows: Rub a heaping tablespoonful of
    butter into half a tablespoonful of flour, and stir into
    it a cup of boiling milk ; when it is smooth and thick
    put the eggs into it carefully, when hot take them
    out, arrange daintily on a platter, pour the sauce
    around them, sprinkle the teaspoonful of the yolk
    reserved over them, garnish with parsley and serve.

    FRIED STUFFED EGGS.

    Prepare the eggs as in the recipe for stuffed eggs,
    filling the cavity of the whites evenly, and pressing
    the two halves together so as to make it appear as a
    whole egg. Take what is left of the mixture, add to
    it one raw egg beaten light, roll each egg in this, cov-
    ering thoroughly every part of it, and fry in boiling
    fat. Serve around a dish of green peas, or with a
    cream sauce ir> to which has been stirred, just before
    removing from the fire, two slightly heaping table-
    spoonfuls of grated Parmesan cheese.
