Steps:
- Calculate the cooking time: cook for 10 mins at 240C/fan 220C/gas 9, then reduce to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and cook for 20 mins per kg for medium-rare, 32 mins per kg for more well done, plus 30 mins resting.
- If the goose is ready-trussed, then loosen the string and pull out the legs and wings a little - this helps the bird cook better.
- Check the inside of the bird and remove any giblets or pads of fat. Using the tip of a sharp knife, lightly score the breast and leg skin in a criss-cross. This helps the fat to render down more quickly during roasting.
- Grate the zest from 4 lemons and 3 limes. Mix with 2 tsp fine sea salt, 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder and pepper, to taste.
- Season the cavity of the goose generously with salt, then rub the citrus mix well into the skin and sprinkle some inside the cavity.
- Stuff the zested fruit and a small handful of parsley, thyme and sage sprigs inside the bird and set aside for at least 15 mins. Can be done up to a day ahead and kept refrigerated.
- Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9.
- If you want to give the bird a nice golden skin, brown in a large frying pan (or a heavy-based roasting tin), using a couple of tbsp olive oil. Holding the bird by the legs (you may like to use an oven glove), press it down on the breasts to brown.
- Once browned, place the bird in the roasting tin. Drizzle with 3 tbsp clear honey and sprinkle with 1 tbsp thyme leaves.
- Roast for the calculated time, turning the heat down after 10 mins to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Cover the goose with foil if it is starting to brown too much.
- Every 30 mins or so, baste the bird with the pan juices, then pour off the fat through a sieve into a large heatproof bowl. You will end up with at least a litre of luscious fat - save this for the potatoes and other veg.
- At the end of the cooking time, leave to rest for at least 30 mins, covered loosely with foil. The bird will not go cold, but will be moist and much easier to carve.

ROAST GOOSE
Here is a bird that throws off a lot of beautiful fat in the oven. You will use some of it to cook the potatoes that go in the roasting pan for the final hour of cooking, but you will have taken off quite a bit before that as well. You can save that goose fat, covered, in the refrigerator for a few weeks, until the next time you want incredible roast potatoes. The British serve roast goose with a sauce of onions sauteed in goose fat, then stewed in milk and cream and thickened with old bread. But I prefer something tart rather than rich - a cranberry relish, for instance, sweetened but not overly so.

Steps:
- Rinse and dry the goose, rub it inside and out with salt and refrigerate uncovered for at least 6 hours, or overnight. The next morning, rub goose well with paper towels, then allow it to sit on a rack in the kitchen for about an hour, to come to room temperature. Trim wing tips and excess fat from goose and reserve for another use.
- Preheat oven to 325. Using a clean needle or sharply pointed knife, prick the skin of the goose all over, to allow the fat to run when it roasts. Stick the skin at an angle, so as to pierce just the skin and not the meat of the bird. Season the goose with salt and pepper, then place the rack in a deep roasting pan, and cook for one hour.
- Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, then drain and reserve the potatoes.
- After an hour's roasting, remove the goose from the oven, and pour off the fat from the pan, reserving for another use. Put the goose on its rack back in the pan and add the potatoes. Roast for another hour.
- After the goose has roasted for 2 hours total, reduce oven to 275 and continue roasting approximately 30 to 45 minutes, about 15 minutes per pound total, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees at the center of the breast. Remove goose to a carving board and allow to rest for 20 to 30 minutes before carving. The bird may be served at room temperature if you like.
- Remove potatoes from pan and keep them warm under foil until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Have ready a bowl of cold water. Peel potatoes and witha 3/4-inch melon-ball cutter cut out potato balls, dropping into water as cut. Drain potatoes in a colander and transfer them to several layers of paper towels, patting very dry.
- In a 12-inch ovenproof heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) heat goose fat over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add potatoes, stirring to coat with fat, and roast in middle of oven, turning potatoes every 15 minutes, until crisp and golden, about 45 minutes.
- While potatoes are roasting, in a very small saucepan cook garlic in butter over low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.
- With a slotted spoon transfer potatoes to a large bowl and stir in garlic butter, parsley, and salt to taste.

Steps:
- Make the stock. Put the neck, giblets and wishbone from the goose into a large saucepan with the vegetables and bouquet garni. Cover with cold water and bring to the boil then simmer, half covered, for 11⁄2-2 hours. Strain the stock when it is ready. (You can make and strain the stock up to 24 hours ahead, and keep it in a covered container in the fridge.)
- Make the stuffing. Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan, add the onions, cover and sweat on a gentle heat for about 5 minutes. Tip in the apples, thyme and orange juice and cook, covered, until the apples are soft and fluffy - about 10 minutes.
- Boil the potatoes in their skins for about 20 minutes until tender. Drain and peel when cool enough to handle, then mash and add to the fruit and onion mixture with the zest and seasoning. Allow to get quite cold before stuffing the goose.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C. Season the cavity of the goose with salt and freshly ground pepper and rub a little salt into the skin. Stuff the cavity loosely and roast for about 2 hours. To test if it's done, prick a thigh at the thickest part: the juices that run out should be clear. If they are still pink, the goose needs a little longer.
- Put the goose on a serving platter and put it in a very low oven while you make the gravy. Spoon the fat from the roasting tin and save it in a covered container in the fridge - it will keep for months and is great for roast potatoes. Pour about 600ml/1 pint of the strained stock into the tin and bring to the boil on the hob. Using a small whisk, scrape the tin well to dislodge the flavourful meaty deposits. Taste, then strain and serve in a hot gravy boat. Serve the goose garnished with bay leaves and hand the gravy and apple sauce separately.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. For the glaze, mix the honey with the spices and lots of cracked pepper, then set aside. Remove all the fat from inside the bird and, using the point of a small knife or skewer, prick the skin all over, paying particular attention to the areas under the wings and around the legs. Sit the goose in an empty sink and slowly pour over a kettleful of boiling water. Repeat the process a few more times (the more the better) until the skin is tight and glossy. Leave the goose to cool, then pat dry with kitchen paper.
- Season the inside of the goose and stuff with the onions, halved garlic bulb, rosemary and orange. Rub the goose all over with the oil and season generously with salt. Sit the goose on a wire rack in a large roasting tin and tightly cover with a large piece of foil. Cook in the oven for 1 hr 30 mins.
- Remove from the oven, discard the foil and use oven gloves to lift the rack (and the goose) out of the roasting tin. Pour all the fat from the tin into a bowl and set aside. Scatter the potato slices in the roasting tin, season with salt and mix with a small drizzle of the fat. Sit the goose back in the tin - on top of the potatoes - and cover with foil, then roast for 1 hr. Remove the foil, then brush the goose all over with the honey glaze and return to the oven for 15 mins. Transfer the goose to a large board or platter to rest, uncovered, in a warmish place for 30 mins.
- Carefully pour away most of the fat from the potatoes. If your roasting tin is flameproof, finish browning the potatoes on top of the stove; if not, place the potatoes back in the oven until crisp and golden brown. Stir the parsley and the chopped garlic through the potatoes just before serving. Carve the goose at the table and serve with the potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove excess fat from goose. Rub cavity of goose lightly with salt. Fasten neck skin of goose to back with skewer. Fold wings across back with tips touching. Tie drumsticks to tail. Prick skin all over with fork. Place goose, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thigh muscle and does not touch bone.
- Roast uncovered 3 to 3 1/2 hours, removing excess fat from pan occasionally, until thermometer reads 180 degrees F or drumstick moves easily and juice is no longer pink. If necessary, place a tent of aluminum foil loosely over goose to prevent excessive browning.
- One hour and 15 minutes before goose is done, place potatoes in roasting pan around goose. Brush potatoes with goose fat; sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. When done, place goose and potatoes on heated platter. Cover and let stand 15 minutes for easier carving. Garnish with kumquats and parsley if desired.
