. OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1928 PAGE FIFTEEN In some homes, special little cakes for Christmas are an established cus- tom. If there is a Swedish grand- mother about the place, she will be busy for weeks before Christmas with her cooking, If one can find a Danish friend somewhere, Jearn to make the delicious pastry. From the French one can receive instructions in making the dainty little cakes that are "made in France." We always wanted to know what Petit Fours were, See if they sound one can Danish Take small circles of sponge cake, split and fill with peach jam. Roll in fondant, roll again in chopped brazil nuts, It 'would make anyone hungry just to listen to the recipe, Here's a Pleasing Change That's a sample of French cakes. A French menu for a meal would offer a pleasant change from the ac- cepted roast turkey and cranberries that is so typically American. The main dish in this menu--Chicken Souffle--might be a little less expen- sive to serve, with turkey usually so high-priced around the holidays. Herc is the menu: Cream of Asparagus Soup Hors d' Oeuvres Chicken Souffle Halibut Steak Saute Hearts of Lettuce Chocolate Charlotte Cheese--Coffee Chicken Sou..e Recipe For chicken souffle, you will need 1%. cupsful of cold chicken, 1 cup cooked rice, 2 eggs. Add the chicken cut' in small pieces, to the rice while hot. Season with butter and salt and chicken gravy. Add well-beaten cgg olks, then stiffly beaten whites. Bake in glass dish until the top is nicely browned. The fish course may have to be changed to whatever can bebought at the time. The salad course, too, should be left to the hostess' discre- tion, , Chocolate charlotte made in a mould then turned out and decorated with whipped cream, will look more like Christmas with holly atop its mound, and a small Santa to guard it, This would be served on a puff paste in. Frange,~but 'it does very nicely without «it. : Chocolate Charlotte You make chocolate charlotte with whipped cream and gelatin, .
