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.
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.

(Arrosto d'agnello) Take a leg of lamb and season it with salt, pepper, oil and a drop of vinegar.
Pierce it here and there with the point of a knife and leave it like this for several hours.
Also lard it with bay leaf or rosemary to be removed when serving.
The leg of lamb can be baked or, as the Italians do, cooked at the spit.
