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. Put an ounce of isinglass beat very fine into a quart of cream, and mix them well together.
  2. Let it boil gently over a slow fire for a quarter of an hour, and keep it stirring all the time.
  3. Then take it off, sweeten it to your taste, and put in a spoonful of rosewater, and another of orange-flower water.
  4. Strain it, and pour it into a glass or basin, and when it is cold turn it out.
