vinegar. More vinegar, a little cayenne, and essence of anchovy, make
it suitable for fish.

infuse the root in the same for 24 hours, then take out, squeezing

'flvor'] flavor broth, soup, etc.
CELERY SAUCE.--Wash well the inside leaves of three heads of celery; cut
them into slices quarter inch thick, boil for six minutes, and drain;
take a tablespoonful of flour, two ounces of butter, and a teacupful of
cream; beat well, and when warm, put in the celery and stir well over
the fire about twelve minutes. The sauce is very [Transcriber's Note:

the juice of three lemons, a teaspoonful of the tincture of cayenne
pepper, a teaspoonful of shallot vinegar, and half a cupful of water.
