1 MAY 26, 1966 THE NEWS DEMOCRAT OF BELLEVILLE, ILLINOIS PAGE FIFTEEN Nation's Greatest Chefs Feted at Gourmet Dinner By ALINE MOSBY NEW YORK (UPI) -Pierre Adrian has been a chef since he was 14. But after work hours in his elegant French restaurant in Cincinnati all he eats is A fast salami For the first time, Adrian and the other greatest cooks in the United States put on tuxedos the other night and sat down to a six-hour gourmet dinner in their honor. The occasion was the awardIng by the 1966 Mobil Travel Guide book of its highest rating, five stars, to Cafe Chauveron of New York City. Chauveron chef Albert Heintz invited the chefs and owners of Mobil's other seven five-star restaurants to fly to New York for a marathon meal with a few food-loving members of the press. The seven guest chefs were Yves Ploneis, 21 Restaurant, New York; Attilio Balzano, Perino's, Los Angeles; Paul Quiaud, Ernie's, San Francisco; Pierre Adrian, Maisonette, and Maurice Gorodesky, Pigall's, both Cincinnati; Daniel Bouche, Maxim's, Chicago, and Paul Blange, Brennan's, New Orleans.

Enjoyment For Others "When we work we don't care about eating, only about whether people are enjoying it in the dining room," explained chef Blange. usually just eat steak, salad and cheese." The dinner of eight courses and six wines would have cost $75 apiece if we'd bought it. The seven guest chefs, looking like prosperous bankers, first were served pastrytype hors d'oeuvres and port wine as a while the Chauveron chef could be seen through the glass kitchen wall directing a bustling army of white-clad assistants. No hard liquor was served; French tradition says it dulls your taste. Next a parade of Frenchspeaking waiters wheeled out gigantic fish carved out of ice holding caviar tins as big as cookie jars and champagne (Taittinger Blanc de Blanc 1959).

Men Only All eight chefs, it was noted, men. Six are French-born, one Dutch, one Italian. Not one was born in the United States which, the guests agreed, has just begun to be conscious of gourmet cooking. As the second course, consomme, was served, Gorodesky smiled at compliments for single a de di importing French cuisine to Ohio. A former chef at the Hotel Ritz in Paris, Gorodesky came America in 1950 and was hired by Maisonette in CincinnaLater he left to open his own place, Pigall's.

Today both Cincinnati restaurants have five stars in the Mobil book. No othcity except New York can make that boast. The third dish at our gourmet meal was a fish paste (quenelles) with a seafood sauce, served with a white wine, Meursault Genevrieres 1961. We ate slowly. "You have to pace yourself," advised the owner of Ernie's, Victor Gotti.

Smoking Dulls Taste In the French tradition, not an ashtray was in sight. Smoking cuts appetite and dulls taste buds. Two chefs electrified the amateurs present by smoking between courses, but they weren't French. The main dish was filet of beef, topped with a slice of pate de foie gras (liver paste) garnished with a huge truffle; little potato balls covered with chopped almonds and a heart of artichoke and tiny asparagus drowned in cheese sauce. Glasses were switched for a red wine, a Graves, Chateau Haut Brion 1949.

A man from Mobil said he tried to talk the Chauveron chef out of making both fish and meat courses with rich sauces. "But he insisted the only way he could show off to the other chefs was with difficult sauces," he said. "He spent eight days making the steak sauce. Eight days!" Most of us could polish off only half the beef filet. No doggy tags wer, offered.

"At Ernie's we call them people bags!" reflected the Ernie's owner. French Idea Some of us walked quickly to the corner of 53rd Street and back to get in shape for the cheese course. Then came lettuce sprinkled with herbs, the French idea being to freshen your mouth to make way for dessert. It was whipped ice cream nearly hidden by spun sugar like that pink circus candy and served with champagne (Dom Perignon 1959). Coffee and cognac (Martell) wound up the meal at 1 a.m.

The well wined guests began making speeches. Somebody from Mobil recited: "We may live without friends, we may live without books, but civilized man may not live without cooks." The creator of the meal, Chef Heintz, in his white uniform emerged from the kitchen. A weary smile crossed his face. He was given an ovation by probably the toughest audience. his copper pots ever have faced.

Medals For All Everybody was awarded gold medals and toasts rang out to "gastronomy in America." "This is the first time I wear a tuxedo," Pierre Adrian emotionally told the group in his French-accented English. "I came to this country with $30 in my pocket. I love this country. You all will have the best of everything as long as us chefs are connected with giving you pleasure in life." As we guests moved somewhat heavily toward the exit, word spread that one of the chefs thought the Chateau Haut Brion 1949 tasted "sulphury." Another was heard to murmur that the Brie cheese was too soft and the salad dressing on the vinegary side. "Well, I could argue about the way the meal was presented, such as serving the vegetables on the same plate as the meat at a formal dinner," allowed Pierre Adrian.

"But still it was a great meal." PRETTY cover-up for a bathing suit is this white terrycloth tent dress with a single, long- stemmed rose blooming on one shoulder. WISHING WELL. Registered U. S. Patent Office.

Ever Serve Your Youngsters Cambric Tea? FOR TEATIME a simple pound-type using both flour and cornstarch, a praccake made by an old-fashioned recipe tice liked by old-time cooks. By CECILY BROWNSTONE Cambric tea, according to Web-; ster, is a beverage of very weak tea, milk and sugar. But according to a cherished memory of my childhood, there's an important part of the definition left out.

That's the part that says cambric tea must be served to young children from a doll-size teapot with matching cups and saucers, and that the children themselves must have the utter delight of taking turns at doing the pouring. With the tea there must be milk in a tiny pitcher and sugar in a miniature sugar bowl. If the children have their own low table and chairs to sit at, and the doll china is blue-willow pattern, so much the better especially to look back to in some far future day! What goes with the tea?

More Ornamentation To Be Used on Casual Furniture CHICAGO (UPI) -A ture designer of 30 years agrees with something we've known all along design today is floundering." In brilliant reinforcement of our prejudices, John Boukma, a designer for American of Chicago, a division of Shelby Williams Industries, today's furniture design "has. no sense of direction." "We're now in a lull," he says, before "more ornate traditional furniture" comes on the scene.

In seeming contradiction between Boukma's statements that design is "floundering" yet going toward more ornamentation may serve as support for both ideas-in that he both reflects the "no sense of direction" and can see only the opposite of what has SO long dominated the field and frontroom. Boukma knows where contemporary furniture has been. "We have just been through an era in which modern styling with its severe and clean lines was He ventures a guess as to where it's going. "But the pendulum is swinging and people are looking for Mrs. Larry E.

Paul Church, Coronado. Committee Heads Named By Zonta Club styles with more ornamentation, yet with a casual feeling." The justaposition of "pendutum" and "people" would seem to indicate that they are to Boukma- one and the same swinger. He says today's styles are "filling the gap" between trends. Is Boukma exasperated with the people's refusal to be anything but capricious and like only what they like? "People have shown a considerable interest in the country look, which is somewhat like vegetable soup in that it is a combination of everything, including English, Early American, French and Mediterranean styles." Boukma predicts that future economic, religious, social and political developments will have some influence on future trends and points to history to show that it has happened. "For instance," he says, "Gothic designs which flourished between 1180 and 1509 were inspired by religious influences.

"A lot of the furniture was even made in monasteries, and the ornamentation represented religious symbols. The furniture designs themselves were large, straight and heavy." Was Even Comfortable "An age of affluence" during the reign of Louis XV made furniture "more ornate, smaller, luxurious, curvy, beautiful. It was even comfortable. The Georgian era, in which the "individual craftsman" was the hallmark, resulted in furniture with "maximum function and beauty." Twin beds, rolltop desks, kidney-shaped tables and dual-purpose furniture of all sorts were first designed by Thomas Sheraton. What is worthy from the past will show up in contemporary furniture, Boukma says.

"No design that is any good at all has ever been dropped. Designing furniture, is an evolutionary What is the end goal of furniture design? "Of course," he says looking down, then up, "the end goal of all commercial furniture is to make it fit into the contempora-1811 ry home." In other words: Does it sell? Why, that's easy. Just keep your eye on the pendulum. A little oil added to water will keep the water you cook spaghetti or macaroni in from boiling over.

As in long-ago recipes, this one includes corn st starch with the flour a practice oldtime cooks liked because corn starch helps to make cakes tender.

This is a real family-style cake, to be enjoyed as much by the oldsters with regular tea as it is by small fry with cambric tea. TEA CAKE cup blanched whole almonds cups sifted regular flour cup sifted corn starch teaspoon mace cup butter or margarine 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind 4 whole eggs 4 egg yolks 1 cup sugar Grease and lightly flour a 9- inch kugelhof pan (10-cup capacity) or a tube pan. Arrange almonds around bottom of pan. Sift together the flour, corn starch and mace. Melt butter over low heat; cool to lukewarm; add vanilla and lemon rind.

Stir together the whole eggs, egg yolks and sugar in a large mixing bowl; set bowl over a pan of hot, not boiling, water over low heat until eggs are warm about 15 minutes; stir occasionally to prevent eggs cooking in bottom of bowl. Remove bowl from over hot water; beat warm eggs until thick, cool and tripled in volume. Sprinkle sifted flour mixture over eggs. Fold in gently, gradually adding melted butter mixture. Continue folding until all butter disappears.

Pour into prepared pan. Bake in moderate (350 degrees) oven until cake is golden brown and pulls away from sides of pan-50 to 55 minutes. The Stars Say: -by ESTRELLITA For Tomorrow Venus, still propitious, continues to foster romance, new friendships, family concerns and creative pursuits. In addition, good Mercury influences stimulate all written matters, communications generally; promise good news from afar. For the Birthday If tomorrow i is your birthday, your horoscope indicates that, as of Your weeks ago, you entered a splendid 5-month period for furthering matters of a financial nature, to be followed by another excellent cycle along the same lines, which will last from February 1 to April 15, 1967.

Of all these months, your very best will be July, August and September, but do avoid speculation in August and extravagance in late December. Where job interests are concerned, the next year should be generally gratifying, with promise of outstanding accomplishment and recognition of past efforts paralleling your financial progress. (September will be especially good.) Other good periods for advancement: Early August, late October, late November, next February and March. Those engaged in creative pursuits (as many Geminians are) will find early August, late September, both early and late October, next January and March highly propitious for capitalizing on imaginative and unique ideas. Personal relationships should prosper for most of the year ahead, with emphasis on romance in late November, next April and May, although material interests will probably transcend sentimental affairs during the next 12 months.

Social life shoud prove unusually stimulating in June, late September, early October, late November and the period between December 1st and February 10th. A child born on this day will be endowed with the talents needed to make a successful writer, linguist or travelling salesman. CARL LIPPERTS WED 25 YEARS Mr. and Mrs. Carl W.
