VINCENT AND MARY PRICE CHINESE STYLE PURPLE PLUM DUCK
From the vintage cookbook "Come into the Kitchen Cook Book" (1969) by Mary and Vincent Price comes an old Chinese style recipe that seems to have been popular amongst cooks of the 1960s. The chapter "Westward Empire" features recipes from 1820 to 1890, and includes Purple Plum Duck.

Steps:
- Clean and disjoint the duck. Dip the duck into soy sauce.
- Over high heat, cover the bottom of a heavy skillet with peanut oil to about 1/2 inch deep.
- When the oil is hot ("sizzling") add the pieces of duck and brown it evenly on both sides. Remove duck from skillet and drain on paper towels, pour out extra fat from pan, then replace browned duck into pan. Lower temperature to medium low.
- Mix the remainder of the soy sauce with the mashed canned plums, reserved plum syrup, ginger, chopped green onion, garlic, sweet sauce (if using), and salt. Pour the mixture over the browned duck pieces in the pan, cover, and let cook over slow heat for 30 minutes or until the duck is tender.
- Mix together the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons plum juice and stir until smooth.
- Remove the duck and thicken the sauce in the pan over low heat by gradually stirring in the cornstarch mixture. Cook until smooth and clear.
- Pour the sauce over the duck and serve.
- Re "Chinese sweet sauce": the recipe nor book do not give any further info on the "sweet sauce" used, but I imagine that such substitutions could be made as an Asian based sweet duck sauce, plum sauce, or simply a tablespoon of brown sugar for each tablespoon sweet sauce.
- Note: in these health conscious days I would probably not use peanut oil to brown the duck, but rather olive oil. If I did use peanut oil, I certainly would not use 1/2 cup of it, as duck is a meat which is quite full of fat to begin with. It's up to you how you'd like to brown your duck and what amount of oil to use, but I've presented the recipe as originally given in the cookbook.

CHINESE DUCK WITH PLUM SAUCE AND CHINOIS PANCAKES
Steps:
- Prepare the ducks. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Mix 1/4 cup of the rice vinegar with the honey and brush the ducks all over with this mixture.
- Place the ducks in a roasting pan and roast them about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and pour off the accumulated fat. Give the ducks a quarter turn and return to the oven. Repeat this process for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the ducks are dark golden brown on all sides. Remember to pour off the rendered fat each time you turn them. When completely cooked, transfer the ducks to another pan and let them rest so that the fat continues to drain from the insides.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan, reduce the plum wine with the mint sprigs and orange peel to a glaze. Add the vinegar and reduce it by two thirds. Add the plum puree and reduce it by half, until the flavor is quite intense. Add the demi-glace and continue to reduce the mixture by half, or until it is thickened slightly and tastes delicious. Over very low heat whisk in the butter, a little at a time. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. Strain the sauce and keep it warm.
- Remove the breasts and legs from the duck. Place them on a grill or under a broiler or salamander until the skin is crispy.
- Slice the duck breasts into medallions. Separate the legs and thighs; arrange half a duck attractively on each plate. Sauce the duck with the plum sauce. Decorate each plate with a scallion-filled Chinois Pancake.
- Place the plums, wine and berries in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer until the plums are soft, about 15 minutes. Puree the mixture in a blender or food processor and strain it through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to 1 cup. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, egg and sesame oil. Whisk in the milk, then unless your batter is completely lump free, strain into another bowl. (The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream). If the batter is too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you get the desired consistency.
- Stir in the ginger, garlic and scallion.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick crepe pan over moderate heat. Add 2 tablespoons batter, then swirl the pan to coat the bottom with batter. Cook the pancake over high heat until golden brown. Turn it over and brown the other side. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat the process until all the batter is used.
- Cut each pancake in half, place a scallion on each and roll into a cone shape.
PLUM PIE
When I was little, we moved into a house with a whole backyard of purple plum trees and didn't know what to do with all of them. Luckily one of the neighbours had the same problem and shared this recipe with us. It's delicious!

CHINESE-STYLE MOCK DUCK WITH NOODLES
No claims to authenticity with this recipe. I was super intrigued by the can of "duck" at the Chinese grocery and I made up a recipe to use it. The thick, tangy sauce goes well with the "meaty" duck substitute and eggplant. If you can't find the vegetarian duck at your grocery store, I'd substitute seitan since that appears to be the main ingredient in the vegetarian duck. Also, be warned that the recipe is kind of salty. If you prefer less-salty foods you could use less soy sauce (still adding water to make 3/4 cup) and be sure to rinse the "duck" extra well.

Steps:
- Prepare noodles according to package directions. (Note: My udon had fairly elaborate directions involving: three boilings, the addition of cold water, a 5 minute "rest" after boiling, and a final rinse in cold water. Though this seemed overly fussy, I followed the directions exactly and was rewarded with the best home-cooked dry noodles/pasta I've ever eaten. So follow the directions for best results :-).).
- Rinse "duck" thoroughly. Dry with a paper towel and slice into bite-size pieces.
- Heat oil and black beans (smashed slightly) in a large pan on medium-high heat. Add the eggplant, zucchini, and "duck". Stir-fry for about three minutes, until vegetables start to soften.
- Add ginger, garlic, scallions, and chili flakes. Continue to stir-fry until the vegetables are cooked.
- Meanwhile combine sauce ingredients in a 2 c measuring cup, adding enough water to make a total of 3/4 cups sauce. Stir very well to incorporate cornstarch.
- Add sauce mixture to stir fry, reduce heat to medium and cook for about 3 minutes until it bubbles and thickens.
- Add cooked noodles to the pan and stir to combine. Serve hot.

VINCENT PRICE'S CHICKEN SWEET AND HOT
Mwa-ha-ha-ha! Vincent Price actually was a world class gourmet cook. In 1965, with his wife Mary, he authored "A Treasury of Great Recipes", published by Grosset & Dunlap; the cookbook is still renowned as a masterpiece. Also, Price was the son of a candy manufacturer and the grandson of the inventor of baking powder. This chicken dish was featured either in an advertisement or magazine/newspaper; it is delicious! My preparation notations are in parentheses; FYI, I didn't particularly find it spicy "hot" at all; add more Tabasco if you think you'd like this dish hotter. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Combine all of the above ingredients, except chicken, in a pan.
- Heat gently, stirring until jelly is blended and sauce is smooth (it doesn't really thicken a lot, just a little bit).
- Cool.
- Pour sauce over 1 quartered chicken and marinate for 2 or 3 hours (I had a change of plans the day I prepared the marinade; mine marinated overnight).
- Cover and cook in preheated moderate oven (I used 350 degrees F for the first 40 minutes, then raised it to 375 degrees F).
- Uncover, increase oven temperature to hot (I raised it to 425 degrees F) and baste frequently until chicken is an even dark brown.
- (Before I put the chicken in at the higher temperature, I used a large spoon to take out some of the marinade/basting sauce; it seemed to make a lot to me-- I left just enough in the dish to use for basting, but not so little that it would burn at the high) Serve with rice.

- Place in the oven and roast 18 minutes per pound (40 minutes per kilo). My duck weighted 5 pounds (2.2 kilos) so I roasted it 1 hour and 25 minutes. Adjust cooking time according to the weigh of your duck. If duck starts to become too brown, cover loosely with foil.
- In a medium saucepan, combine honey, star anise, ground ginger, 1 1/2 cups reserved plum syrup and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes.
