Fillets of Fish. Cut any fish into slices one inch thick, wash and wipe dry ; sprinkle a platter with chopped onion, lay the fillets on top of this, and dust with sait and pepper. Mix three tablespoonfuls of olive oil and one of vinegar thoroughly and moisten the fish and stand aside one or two hours. When ready to cook dip the fillets first in egg, then in bread-crumbs, and fry in hot fat. Garnish with lettuce or cress and quarters of lemons. Boiled Cauliflower. Pick off the outer leaves, cut off the stem close to the bottom of the flowerets ; wash in cold water ; then soak with top downward in cold water for one hour. Tie it in a piece of cheese-cloth and put in salted boiling water, stem downward, and boil till tender. When done, remove carefully to dish and serve with cheese sauce.
