Eggs Chambord. Poached eggs on toast, covered with sauce Chambord.
Sauce Chambord. Put in a casserole the head of a salmon cut in small pieces. Add three ounces of butter, one sliced carrot, one onion, a little parsley in branches, one bay leaf, four cloves, one spoonful of whole black peppers, one clove of garlic, and a little salt. Simmer until the head is cooked, then add one pint of claret and reduce until nearly dry. Then add one quart of fish broth or stock and boil for ten minutes. Thicken with two ounces of butter and one ounce of flour kneaded together, mix well, add two tablespoon-fuls of anchovy essence, and boil for five minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, put back in casserole, bring to a boil, add two ounces of fresh butter, whip well, and season with salt and Cayenne pepper. Strain through fine cheese cloth. Serve with fish or eggs.
Macaroni Caruso. Boil one pound of macaroni in salted water. When done drain off the water, add one-half pound of sliced fresh mushrooms saute in butter, a very little garlic fried in oil, a cup of tomato sauce, and one-half cup of grated cheese. Also serve grated cheese separate.

Heat three ounces of butter in a casserole, then add two ounces of flour and two quarts of bouillon, and stir well. Then add the onions, season with salt and pepper, boil for an hour, and strain through a fine sieve. Put back in the casserole and add two ounces of sweet butter.
