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. Cut some fine, cleaned fillets of salted herrings into thin slices.
  2. Dish up, and alternate the rows of sliced fillets with rows of sliced, cold, boiled potatoes.
  3. Season with oil and vinegar, and finish up with chopped chervil, fennel, tarragon, and shallots.
