12 large mushrooms
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup cream Toast
Wash the mushrooms, remove stems, peel caps and place in buttered dripping pan, cap side up. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, dot over with butter and add cream. Bake ten minutes in hot oven. Arrange on dry toast and pour over remaining cream and serve hot.
Cook two cups of small white onions for about one-half hour in boiling water. Drain and add cream sauce. Put into a double boiler and cook for five more minutes. Season and serve.

Bake the onions in their peels for one hour. Remove from the fire, peel and return to the dish. Pour over them two cups beef-Stock, salt and pepper and bake for ten more minutes, basting a few times with the stock.
Peel large white onions and cut across the grain. Separate the rings and put them in a frying basket. Dip the basket in hot deep fat. Shake constantly and fry to a light brown. Drain on brown paper and serve with steak.
Parboil large onions for ten minutes. Remove part of the center leaving the root for the onion to stand on. Fill the cavity with the chopped onion just taken out, chopped cooked meat and bread crumbs in equal amounts. Season and moisten with cream or melted butter. Arrange in a greased baking dish, pour one cup soup-Stock over all and bake in a moderate oven three-quarters to an hour.
Take six green peppers, cut off top, remove all seeds and wash well. Mix together one-half pound pork and one-half pound veal ground together, three heaping tablespoons cooked rice, one onion cut fine, salt and pepper.
