With a Saucepan Over the Sea

Adelaide Keen went abroad with a notebook and came home with the recipes — cocka leekie from Scotland, petite marmite from Paris, the maids of honor of Richmond — each dish tagged with the country that gave it.

Broiled Steak

(English chop-house recipe.) Mix 1 tablespoonful of olive oil, a teaspoonful of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Rub this over the steak and set it aside with the sauce on it for 2 hours, in a cold place. Drain it, put it on a broiler, and sear it quickly, then cook it slowly, putting a few ashes over the hot fire, for about 10 minutes. When the meat looks puffy, but being careful to lose none of the juice, remove to a hot dish and place a bit of butter on top. Garnish with parsley.
