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.
  • 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.
  • 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. Roast the duckling, and keep it underdone.
  2. When it is quite cold, remove the breast, and remove the bones in such wise as to form a case with the carcass.
  3. Cut each fillet into eight thin slices;
  4. coat them with a brown chaud-froid sauce, and decorate with truffles.
  5. Fill the carcass with a mousse made from the remains of the meat, the duckling’s liver, and some foie gras, and shape it so as to imitate the convex breast of the bird.
  6. Glaze with aspic, and set in the refrigerator, that the mousse may harden.
  7. When the latter is firm, lay the chaud-froid-coated collops upon it, and set the piece in a deep, square dish.
  8. Surround with cold, stoned, morello cherries, poached in Bordeaux wine, and cover these with an aspic jelly flavoured with duckling essence.
