Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Cut some beef suet, trimmings of mutton, or lamb cutlets, or other trimmings of meat;
  2. put them into a braismg pan with four or five onions, three or four cloves, a well-seasoned faggot, a little mace, trimmings of celery, two or three carrots, cut in slices, and a few bay leaves;
  3. add about a pint of water, and let it draw down for about half an hour on the stove: when the liquid is quite reduced, add common broth, or any broth which you may have to spare, to prevent it burning at the bottom.
