Bay Leaf And Sprig:
Heat the butter and toss the sliced onion in this.
Work in the flour and cook gently for several
minutes. Add the stock and giblets and simmer
until the soup is cooked and the giblets really
tender, putting in bay leaf and sprig of parsley.Split the skin of lamb and insert a cut clove of garlic in this. One clove gives a very delicate flavour— two a more definite one. Spread a sprig of fresh rosemary over the lamb or chop the leaves from a sprig very finely and sprinkle over the lamb during roasting.
Metal leaf. The use of silver and gold leaf surfaces in Decoration has become popular in recent years. These effects are also part of the painter's work. Aluminum leaf is generally used in place of silver, as it is less expensive and does not tarnish. The application of metal leaf is accomplished by first applying a gold size to the surface to be treated. This is allowed to dry to a thick consistency, and the leaf is then applied to the size and allowed to dry thoroughly. It is best to varnish metal leaf for protection. Metal leaf is usually glazed over the varnish for antique effects.
