Cook safely

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

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Wash 12 anchovies.
  2. Remove the bones and heads and let them gently boil in a pint of water until they are quite dissolved.
  3. Strain the liquor and add to it a pint of white sauce, with a glass of sherry in it.
  4. If insufficiently thick add a little cornflour.
