Coming down to more modern times, Madame de Sta\u00ebl had a dish of very unique pattern, and, when driven by the command of Napoleon from her beloved Paris, she carried her chafing dish with her into exile as one of her most cherished household gods. In the present day among the favored few, who have full purses, are found sets of little silver chafing dishes about four inches square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/span> feel like people use the term “winter flower”<\/strong><\/em> a lot nowadays. Flowers and fruits are reserved for sweet dishes, except in the case of nasturtiums, which they regard as much a vegetable as a flower and use freely with meats. It isn’t essential that every dish should be turned into an elaborate work of art, as if it were to be entered at the annual exhibition of the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Chefs de Cuisine<\/a>, but neither is there any reason, even with modest means at command, for giving cause for that old slogan of the great American dinner table: \u201cIt tastes better than it looks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simple desserts are the best desserts, and none is more pleasing to the eye and the palate or so easily made or so frequently served in an imperfect manner, than custards.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These being the more easily made may be considered first.<\/strong> They may either be steamed or baked but the mixture is the same in either case. Allow two eggs and a teaspoonful of sugar to each half pint of milk. Beat the eggs with sugar thoroughly, but do not froth them, as the custard must be as smooth and free from holes as possible. Add the milk slowly, also a few drops of flavoring essence\u2014vanilla, almonds or lemon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having stoned the raisins, cut them in half, and, when all are done, sprinkle them well with sifted flour, to prevent their sinking to the bottom of the cake. When the currants are dry, sprinkle them also with flour.<\/p>\n\n\n
