This recipe needs advance preparation!

Ginette Mathiot (1907-1998) was France's answer to Mrs Beeton, although she did not publish her book Je sais Cuisiner until 1932. It has now been translated into English and is known as I know how to Cook (ISBN 0714848042).

The recipe given below has been slightly adapted from Ginette's original.

This needs to be started the day before.
