HINTS FOR COOK.
If you should have an accident and over-boil a piece of fish one day, so that when it is ready to be dished, it is a broken, unsightly mass, do not attempt to send it to table like that. Remove all skin and bones, flake up the fish with a fork and heat it up in the sauce that was to be handed separately. Sprinkle it with chopped parsley if there is time and if it is to hand, and send it to table as fricassee of fish.
An American way of serving onions is baked with apples, in alternative layers, with seasoning of pepper and salt, a very little water to prevent burning and some pieces of butter here and there.
Baked ham is delicious, and such a change from boiled. Wrap it in greased paper and make it rather slowly, allowing twenty minutes to each pound, and removing the paper for the last twenty minutes to crisp up the fat.
Brown vinegar is much better in flavour than white for pickling, but the latter improves colour, especially that of red cabbage.
