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. Beat half an ounce of isinglass fine, put to it a quart of cream, and mix them well together.
  2. Let it boil softly over a slow fire for a quarter of an hour, and keep stirring it all the time.
  3. Then take it off, sweeten it to your taste, and put in a spoonful of rose water, and another of orange flower water.
  4. Strain it, and pour it into a glass or bason, or whatever else you please, and when it be cold, turn it out.
