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.
Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.
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.

To six paper cases take four nice soft peaches, wash and cut in pieces, press through a fine sieve.
Put on stove in half cup water and three tablespoons brandy, thicken with one tablespoon cornstarch that has been stirred with two yolks and five tablespoons sugar to a souffle.
When it comes to a boil, take off the stove, stir on ice until cold, add one cup whipped cream, fill the paper cases.
Decorate with whipped cream on the top and maraschino cherries.
Put in a freezer, pack in ice and salt, let freeze about two hours.
Arrange on a paper doily.
Garnish with a rosette of spun sugar in the centre.
