The ladies of 1870s Chicago pooled their recipes and signed every one — corned beef from Mrs. Beaty, lemon pie from Mrs. Saulter.

Curried Dishes

Miss Beaty.

Chickens and veal are most suitable for curries. Boil the meat till tender, and separate the joint. Put a little butter in a stew-pan with the chickens, pour on a part of the liquor in which the meat was boiled, enough to cover it and let it stew twenty minutes more. Prepare the curry thus; for four pounds of meat take a tablespoonful of curry powder, a teacup of boiled rice, and a tablespoonful of flour and another of melted butter, a teacup of the liquor and half a teaspoonful of salt; mix them, and pour them over the meat, and let stew ten minutes more. Rice should be boiled for an accompaniment.
