MUSHROOMS A LA SPINETTE

Make some puff pastry cases, wash and chop the mushrooms and toss them in
butter to which you have added a slice of lemon. Make a bechamel sauce
with cream, or, failing that, with thick tinned cream, and mix with the
mushrooms. Heat the cases for a few minutes in the oven and fill them
with the hot mixture.

DRESSED CAULIFLOWER

Simmer a cauliflower till it is tender. Pour out the liquor, and add to
it a bit of butter, the size of a nut, rolled in flour, a pinch of
nutmeg, a tablespoonful of Gruyere cheese and a little milk.

Bind the sauce with a little feculina flour. At the moment of
serving, pour the sauce over the cauliflower, which you have placed
upright on a dish. The nutmeg and the cheese are indispensable to this
dish.
