Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.

Method

  1. Gâteau de Vase of Compôte of Pommes.
  2. Flowers.
  3. Plums.
  4. Lobster Salad.
  5. Peach Jelly.
  6. Apple Tart.
  7. Roast Hare, removed by Iced Pudding.
  8. First Course.—Carrot soup à la Crécy;
  9. soup à la Reine;
  10. baked cod;
  11. stewed eels.
