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.

Take a nice high sponge cake and put it in a dish in which it is to be served, take 2 wineglasses of brandy and half-pint of sherry wine and pour over the cake until it soaks up all, then blanch some sweet almonds, cut them in slices and bits, stick all over the cake.
Before you put the cake in the dish put raspberry jam and then put your cake on it, don’t put too much.
Beata rich cream to a stiff froth and put all over the cake, sprinkle in spots on the cream, red sugar;
the cake must be made the day before, only put the cream over before serving it.
