But it's not there any longer. The Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant, which opened in 1 929 on Vine Street, closed in 1 985. A duplicate has been recreated at the Disney-MGM Studios Theme Park near Orlando. From The Hollywood Brown Derby's menu, you can order two dishes that are prepared exactly as served at the original Brown Derby: Cobb Salad and Brown Derby Grapefruit Cake. Microwave ovens didn't exist in 1929, but you can use yours at home to duplicate several of the restaurant favorites, including Studios Fettucine Derby, the most frequently ordered entree.

New menu items have been created by Reimund Pitz who, at age 30, is the youngest Walt Disney World executive chef. Explains Chef Pitz, "Since the original restaurant was in Hollywood, I incorporated California produce in our property's concept. I spent a tremendous time on nutrition the fat content of most of our menu items is below 30 percent."

SAVE Jfc A I AKKUW COOP Hand Cleaner 'S? Bag of Rags 8Pkgz AUTO SPONGE PKC. OF 1 68C For 15 years, from 1969 to 1984, Richard Grausman was the first and only United States representative of the prestigious Cordon Bleu in Paris. He was the "bearer of the flame," so to speak, of the great tradition of French cooking in America, teaching thousands of students nationwide. For him I was going to do a barbecue! Is it any wonder I was nervous? 1 needn't have been. Grausman is not only a great and giving cook and teacher, but a wonderfully gracious and genuine person.

We had a great time and the Santa Maria Barbecue was a big hit; everybody loved it! Only once did he look at me with raised eyebrow, and that was when I insisted that we stick with tradition Santa Maria tradition and serve macaroni and cheese as a side dish along with the beef and beans. Grausman's book, "At Home With The French Classics," was published in March by Workman Publishing and already my copy is dog-earred and gravy-stained excuse me, "sauce-soiled" from use. The cookbook is a compilation of more than 250 classic French recipes that Grausman has streamlined and adapted for the average at-home cook. Following is a small but delicious sample, reprinted by permission of the publisher. TOURNEDOS CHARLEMAGNE FILLET STEAKS WITH MUSHROOMS AND BERN AISE SAUCE 2 tablespoons butter 4 large shallots or 1 onion, finely chopped 3i pound mushrooms, washed, dried and finely chopped Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 teaspoon tomato paste Sauce Bernaise (recipe below) 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 4 fillet steaks, cut 1 to 1 14 inches thick 1 bunch watercress, stems removed, for garnish In a skillet, heat the butter over medium heat.

Add the shallots and saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute over high heat, stirring occasionally, until most of the moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in the tomato paste. Make the sauce bernaise (see recipe below) and keep warm in a water bath (bain-marie double boiler) while you saute the steaks.

"in a 10-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the fillet steaks and saute until rare or medium- rare, 2 or 3 minutes each side. Season with salt and pepper. Place steaks on a serving platter or plates. To serve: Cover each fillet with a layer of warm mushroom mixture and coat with sauce bernaise.

Garnish with watercress. SAUCE BERNAISE (Tarragon and shallot-flavored Hollandaise sauce) 2 shallots, finely chopped 2 teaspoons tarragon, chopped or crushed 1 teaspoons chervil, chopped or crushed teaspoons freshly ground pepper 2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar 2 tablespoons dry white wine 2 tablespoons water 2 egg yolks 1 14 stick (6 oz.) butter, melted y4 teaspoon salt Place the shallots, tarragon, chervil, pepper, vinegar, and wine in a small saucepan. Over high heat, reduce the liquid until only 1 teaspoon of liquid until only 1 teaspoon of liquid remains, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. (This can be done several hours in advance.) Over medium heat, add the water and egg yolks and whisk constantly until thick and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.

As soon as the sauce thickens enough so you can see the bottom of the pan while whisking, remove it from the heat. (Too much heat at this point can cause the yolks to set and look like scrambled eggs. If this happens, start again.) Continue whisking the mixture off the heat for several seconds. The sauce should be thick enough to cling to your whisk. Allow the pan to cool for a minute before slowly adding the melted butter, which should be no hotter than the egg yolks.

Whisk continually while adding the butter, a little at a time, as you would for mayonnaise. Add the salt. The sauce should taste of tarragon and have a slight bite from the vinegar andahintofsaltlf necessary, add 1 to 3 drops of vinegar, additional tarragon and a sprinkle of salt. Keep warm in a water bath (bain-marie) for up to 1 5 to 20 minutes. Makes 1 3 cups.

Serves 8 to 1 2. Merle Ellis is a syndicated columnist. GENERAL STORE Farm Rich NEW! Farm farm fresh taste without cholesterol OLD FASHIONED VALUES Farm Rich.
