Out-Of-This-World Chowder, made with lobster, mushrooms
and vegetables.
(AP Newsfeatures)
A hostess trick from a famous
cook book author! Irma Rom
bauer, the distingu'shed and
charming author of "The Joy of
Cooking" (Bobbs-Merrill), has
been visiting in New York City,
and while 1 was cooking dinner
for her at my house one ni?ht,
she let me in on one of her own
secrets.
Mrs. Rombauer lives in St.
Louis and has a small country
house in the Ozark foothills. It's
in the country that she has .lots
of company during weekends; it's
there, she says, that she finds
it a big help to serve soup as a
first course. She ladles it into
cups and brings it to her guests
before they sit down to table
on a tray. Then as they are en
joying this, she says, she has time
to put the last touches to the
main course and get it ready to
be brought to the table as soon
as she has seated her guests.
This is, of course, a fine idea for
the hostess who has to be cook
'ind waitress, too.
That conversation started us on
an Ode to Soup. Mrs. Rombauer
and I are both devoted to this
good course, and we agree that
a hearty and delicious soup is
a wonderful main dish for a
company lunch or Sunday night
supper. You can serve a salad
after it, if you like. Or you can
follow it with an assortment of
cheese, offered as they do in
Krancc with crusty bread and
sweet butter.
It goes without saying that a
substantial dessert should follow
