Any single food containing all the elements necessary to supply the requirements of the body is called a complete or typical food. Milk and eggs are frequently so called, because they sustain the young animals of their kind during a period of rapid growth. Nevertheless, neither of these foods forms a perfect diet for the human adult. Both are highly nutritious, but incomplete. Served with bread or rice, they form an admirable meal and one that is nutritious and easily digested. The white of eggs, almost pure albumin, is nutritious, and, when cooked in water at 170 degrees Fahrenheit, requires less time for perfect digestion than a raw egg. The white of a hard-boiled egg is tough and quite insoluble. The yolk, however, if the boiling has been done carefully for twenty minutes, is mealy and easily digested. Fried eggs, no matter what fat is used, are hard, tough and insoluble. The yolk of an egg cooks at a lower temperature than the white, and for this reason an egg should not be boiled unless the yolk alone is to be used. 111 EGG Recipes CONTENTS Cooking of Eggs 1.To Preserve Eggs 2.Egging and Crumbing 3.Shirred Eggs 4.Mexicana 5.On a Plate 6.de Lesseps 7.Meyerbeer 8.a la Reine 9.au Miroir 10.a la Paysanne 11.a la Trinidad 12.Rossini 13.Baked in Tomato Sauce 14.a la Martin 15.a la Valenciennes 16.Fillets 17.a la Suisse 18.with Nut-Brown Butter 19.Timbales 20.Coquelicot 21.Suzett21.Suzette 22.en Co21.21.Suzette 22.en Cocotte 23.Steame cotte 23.Steamed in the Shell 24.Birds' Nests 25.Eggs en Panade 26.Egg Pudding 27.a la Bonne Femme 28.To Poach Eggs 29.Eggs Mirabeau 30.Norwegian 31.Prescourt 32.Courtland 33.Louisiana 34.Richmond 35.Hungarian 36.Nova Scotia 37.Lakme 38.Malikoff 39.Virginia 40.Japanese 41.a la Windsor 42.Buckingham 43.Poached on Fried Tomatoes 44.a la Finnois 45.a la Gretna 46.a l'Imperatrice 47.with Chestnuts 48.a la Regence 49.a la Livingstone 50.Mornay 51.Zanzibar 52.Monte Bello 53.a la Bourbon Bernaise, 54.a la Rorer 55.Benedict 56.To Hard-boil 57.Creole 58.Curried 59.Beauregard 60.Lafayette 61.
