"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" |

“Happy and successful cooking doesn't rely only on know-how; it comes from the heart, makes great demands on the palate and needs enthusiasm and a deep love of food to bring it to life.” |

Douse the lentils in the boiling water, add the salt & let them stand,
covered, for an hour. Heat the oil in a pot and add to the vegetable
broth powder. Add the diced vegetables, brown sugar, and a bay leaf,
and saute for a few minutes before adding it all to the lentils. Cook
over a low heat for about 1 1/2 hours. Mix together the flour and the
or tomato puree. Add a little of the hot soup, stirring well, then
return it all to the pot. Grind in some black pepper, heat through,
and serve.
