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. Select some firm white-fish (halibut is excellent for this purpose), and boil.
  2. When perfectly cold cut it into neat slices;
  3. on each slice lay a sardine, and arrange the fish upon and among crisp lettuce leaves.
  4. Prepare a mayonnaise dressing, and into a half-pint of it stir three sardines rubbed smooth with the back of a fork.
  5. Pass the sauce in a pitcher containing a spoon or small ladle, that each guest may help himself.
