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.
  • 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. Boil the chestnuts, and when perfectly tender press them through a colander in the centre of a large chop plate.
  2. Dust them thickly with powdered sugar and heap around one pint of cream, whipped to a stiff froth.
  3. The cream may be flavored with sherry or vanilla.
