Tricks of my Trade

continued (page 3 of 3)

Perhaps you will be lucky enough to find a place where you can purchase glace de viande. But if you cannot buy it, you can without too much difficulty make some in your own kitchen. Once it is made, it will last a long time. After several months a fine white coating may form over the top; it is a harmless sort of mold which has no effect on what is under it, and can easily be washed off with hot water. You will agree that it is worth a little extra time in the kitchen to have on hand something that will add so much to your cookery.
