A historical recipe

How to Cook Fish, by Myrtle Reed. Project Gutenberg eBook #18542.

From an old book: a historical recipe, not current advice. Its methods, additives and storage may be unsafe by today's standards.

Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. a wineglassful of white wine
  2. three tablespoonfuls of mushroom liquor

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.

Method

  1. Butter a flat baking-dish and arrange in it, crown-shaped, the prepared and cleaned fillets of three soles.
  2. Add half a wineglassful of white wine, three tablespoonfuls of mushroom liquor, and salt and pepper to season.
  3. Cook for six minutes, take up the fish, and put on a hot dish.
  4. Cover with Allemande Sauce, garnish with broiled mushrooms and serve.
