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.
  • 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. Take a fine woodcock;
  2. raise and reserve one of its fillets, and roast it, taking care to keep it very underdone.
  3. Then remove the other fillet, and with it prepare two dariole-moulds of royale (No.
  4. 209).
  5. Finely pound what remains of the woodcock, and combine with the resulting pur^e one and one-half pints of game velout6 prepared with essence of woodcock.
  6. Cover the stewpan and place it in the bain-marie for thirtyfive minutes.
  7. Now rub the whole through tammy;
  8. heat without boiling, and finish, when dishing up, with one and one-half oz.
  9. of butter, one and one-half oz.
  10. of cooked foie-gras pur^e, diluted with a few tablespoonfuls of the soup, one and one-half tablespoonfuls of cream, and one and one-half tablespoonfuls of burnt liqueur brandy.
  11. Garnish with the royale cut into dice, and the reserved fillet of woodcock, stiffened in butter at the last moment, and cut into thin slices.
