Food And Drink And Duck~

I LOVE this magazine~

We went to the market a couple of weeks ago and I had bought some deliciously sweet fresh carrots~


Can a carrot be more beautiful?:)

Anyway..we decided to make this issue's of Food and Drink....Autumn 2009~ Duck..

Forgive the photo..after inhaling the aroma.. while it cooked.. and braised..I could not stand to wait to get a photogenic shot of the dish ~




It is bone licking good..ok bone sucking good~

Fall off the bone.. licking good~

I will scan and post if anyone is interested..I can't find the Autumn 2009 recipe section yet online..but it is coming.. go look at their beautiful recipes and photos..

Did we like it?:)




The duck is seized..then braised w/ plums and raspberries and juniper berries and star anise.. syrah.. etc..

Then cooled ..and strained and baked again to crisp.Topped w/ some fresh plums and raspberries..and a bit of sauce..
Heaven.
I love duck now..Since my trip to Morocco at Nancy's and now Ontario's LCBO:)

  1. I love duck! The French restaurant where my new mommy DD works as the catering director has the best duck I have ever tasted. It's something I rarely attempt to make at home, however, so yes, please scan and post the recipe! Pretty please :)

  8. I like duck, but I haven't dared venture into cooking it. If not done properly, there will be a gamey taste and smell. It sure takes some skill and technique to get it done perfect! I can imagine the flavours that have gone into your dish, M. Am not surprised it was finished up pronto! Those carrots are so beautiful. Nature's beauty captured perfectly by you.

  10. I'll pass on the duck because I'm still staring at the carrots - they do look lovely.

    Have a wonderful weekend and I LOVE the pics of your little loves - especially the piano one.

    Am gonna post one Saturday of my baby in a basket - well, my daughter's little guy. Aren't they all just so amazing?

    blessings...lylah

  11. We're starting to get canard in the supermarket. This looks like a perfect recipe for them! I love the dry rub--it looks perfect for the duck.

    Thanks for posting this!
