I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

1. Wipe duck inside and out with a damp cloth. Rub liberally with salt and pepper. Let stand 1 hour.
2. Place bird in a deep, heatproof bowl and steam 1-1/2 to 2 hours by the bowl-in-a-pot method.
3. Drain duck and let cool. Wipe dry, then truss.
4. Heat oil in deep fryer to boiling. Using a wire basket or long-handled Chinese strainer, gently lower in duck and deep-fry, basting and turning, until golden. Drain on paper toweling.
5. Let duck cool slightly, then chop, bones and all, in bite-size pieces.
Serve with scallion brushes, a plum or hoisin sauce dip, or any other dip for deep-fried duck.

NOTE: The technique of double-frying can be used here. In step 4, deep-fry the duck 5 minutes, lift out; reheat the oil. Then return the bird and deep-fry again until crisp and golden.

VARIATIONS:
1. In Step 1, rub duck with any of the following mixtures:
a. 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon anise pepper and 1/8 teaspoon Five Spices
b. 2 tablespoons sherry, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper
c. 1-1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown bean sauce, mashed; and 1/2 teaspoon Five Spices
d. 1 to 2 scallion stalks and 3 or 4 slices fresh ginger root, both minced; 1 tablespoon Szechwan peppercorns, crushed; and 2 teaspoons salt
2. In Step 2, before steaming, add to bowl with duck 2 scallion stalks and 2 or 3 slices fresh ginger root.
3. In Step 3, before trussing duck, coat with a mixture of 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1 tablespoon soy sauce; or 3 tablespoons flour and 1 egg, lightly beaten.
