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.

French Omelette

Beat the whites of 5 eggs very stiff and set aside in a cool place. Beat the yolks well with salt, pepper, butter the size of a walnut, 2 tablespoonfuls of cream, a little nutmeg, 1/2 spoonful of onion juice, and 1 spoonful of chopped parsley. Add these lightly to the whites and cook in a hot, buttered pan. This makes a very tender, delicate omelette.
