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. Take a good dessert-spoonful of castor sugar and pour over it two-thirds of a pint of vinegar.
  2. The Italians use one pound of pine kernels in this sauce, but if these are not to be had use half a pound of split sweet almonds.
  3. Put these with half a pound of currants and half a cup of grated chocolate into a stewpan, add the sweetened vinegar, stir and mix well, and place on the fire till it boils.
