Horse-radish Sauce

2 table-spoons grated horse-radish 1 tea-spoon mustard 1 dessert-spoon sugar 1 table-spoon vinegar 2 table-spoons thick cream

Mayonnaise Sauce

1 or 2 raw yolks of egg Olive oil Vinegar

Put the yolk into a bowl and beat it slightly. Add the oil drop by drop, stirring continually in one direction, and working it well against the sides of the bowl. When the sauce becomes thick, the oil may be added more quickly. Continue adding oil until sufficient sauce has been made. Add vinegar, salt, pepper to taste. This sauce should be made in a cold place and will take about fifteen minutes to make. Finely chopped tarragon, chervil and olives may be added to the mayonnaise.

Add salt, pepper and a little shredded smoked salmon.

Sauce Gaillarde

2 hard boiled eggs 2 gherkins 4 small pickled onions A little tarragon and chervil Oil Vinegar

Crush the yolks and add to them the whites, gherkins, onions, tarragon and chervil finely chopped. Add oil very slowly, turning continually from left to right until the quantity of sauce required has been made. Add one or two table-spoons of vinegar. Salt, pepper and a little mustard.

Sauce Moutarde

2 hard boiled yolks 2 table-spoons olive oil 3 table-spoons vinegar 1 table-spoon mustard 1 small handful tarragon

Crush the yolks and add to them the oil, salt, pepper, vinegar and mustard. Stir well together. Chop the tarragon very finely. Add it to the sauce.

Sauce Ravigote

2 hard boiled yolks 2 raw yolks 1 dessert-spoon mustard Tarragon, shallot, parsley, chives Capers, gherkins Oil Vinegar

Pound and pass the hard boiled yolks through a sieve. Mix them thoroughly with the raw yolk and mustard. Add oil as for mayonnaise until the required quantity is made. Season. Add vinegar to taste and a little very finely chopped tarragon, shallot, parsley, and chives. Just before serving add a table-spoon capers and chopped gherkins.

Sauce Remoulade

1 hard boiled yolk 1 raw yolk 1 coffee-spoon mustard 1 large table-spoon chopped shallots, parsley and chervil Oil Vinegar

Put the hard boiled and raw yolk with the mustard in a basin. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Add the oil very slowly, stirring continually in one direction.
