Types of Recipes Especially Suitable for Two

Appetizers Soups Broiled meats and fish Shell fish Soufflees Croquettes Patties Creamed, scalloped and au gratin dishes Cheese recipes Egg dishes Mushrooms in all ways Entrees Salads Substantial sandwiches Vegetables of all kinds Quick breads Fruit desserts Gelatin and cream desserts Cookies, gingerbread and small cakes Tarts and turnovers Recipes suggested in the chapter Cooking at the Table The small table cookers of various kinds--grills, chafing-dishes, waffle irons, muffin irons, pancake griddles, toasters and coffee percolators--make informal entertaining a pleasure to the hostess as well as to the guests. Meals cooked at the table must of course be simple. It is usually wise to confine a supper to one hot dish, with such accessories as bread and butter, toast, crackers or cold sandwiches, a hot drink or a cold drink or both. If something more elaborate is desirable, the meal may begin with a fruit cocktail or a simple salad and end with a dessert that is easily served. Relishes, such as celery and olives, are easily provided.
