Cook safely

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

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • 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. Peel, mince and toss some apples in butter, as explained under “Faisan à la Normande.” Allow half an apple per quail.
  2. Garnish the bottom of a cocotte with some of these apples;
  3. upon them set the quails, browned in butter;
  4. add what remains of the apples;
  5. sprinkle with a few tablespoonfuls of cream, and complete the cooking in the oven.
