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.

Method

  1. Select large Spanish or Italian chestnuts for this, put them over the fire in boiling water, and cook for ten minutes.
  2. Remove them from the stove, and the inner skins will come off easily with the outer shells.
  3. Put the peeled chestnuts into boiling water again and boil until tender.
  4. By this method they are kept white.
  5. When tender put them through a vegetable press or potato ricer, mix a little white sugar with them and, if you use wine, moisten them with a couple of tablespoonfuls of sherry.
  6. Mound them in a dish and heap whipped cream upon them.
