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. In a saucepan, cook the shallots, white wine, oyster juice and lemon juice until all of the liquid has evaporated.
  2. Add the cream and bring to a strong boil, whisking constantly.
  3. Whip in the small pieces of butter until melted. Remove from heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Strain through fine sieve into another pan and keep warm.
