Nxw COORERY BSCIPES.—There is a certain sameness in the mattes
given by many of the cookery-books now being published, but now and again one funds novelties which the housewife will be glad to add to her menu. In Patriotism and Plenty, by the Hon. Mrs. Lionel Guest (John Lane, la. not), there are a number of new cliches, some of them obviously coming from Canada and the United States. Wo had heard of hominy cakes, but we had never before met with " pone," " fried samp," or " hot slaw." Some of the dishes are more novel in name than in reality ; for instance, " Organ- Grinder's Spaghetti "—an unusual name for a very usual recipe. Wo aro glad to see a good portion of the book devoted to various ways of cooking vegetables, among which Mrs. Guest includes blackberry shoots and the young shoots of hops and bracken.--In Bread and Fancy Breads (same author and pub- lisher, 01.1. net.) we are initiated into the mysteries of " Canadian Popovers " and " Mush Muffins."
