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. Prepare two dariole-moulds of royale made from a purée of very green peas, combined with a tablespoonful of Mirepoix stewed in butter, and a strong pinch of small, chervil pluches;
  2. eighteen small quenelles of chicken forcemeat with cream, moulded to the form of pastils.
  3. When the royale is cold, cut it into regular roundels, and put these into the soup-tureen with the poached quenelles.
  4. When about to serve, pour one quart of boiling chicken consommé over the garnish.
