For anyone who might wonder, Louisette was one of the authors of Mastering the Art!

During all the packing and prepping for moving, I found a box of cookbooks that I'd packed in 2009 and it never got unpacked when we moved here! I made myself wait until I got it to the new place before I opened it.

 

It  had the cookbook with the recipe I have searched high and low for for several years!

 

This was what I was making for 13 people when I first spilled the apples all over the floor. Then when Don went to buy more, goose fat dripped in the oven and started a fire. Don got home to every door and window open, smoke alarm blasting, dog barking and me nearly in tears.

 

I got the fire out immediately, goose was unharmed and it was a delicious dinner after all. Not sure I'd make it again. It was a lot of work. I had working hands and a lot more energy back then!

 

On goose recipes, I found the following from Alwan-E-Nemat (Translation: "Colors of the Table"): A Journey Through Jahangir's Kitchen by Salsa Yusuf Hussain. Please see attached recipe pages along with cover of the book. This is "time travel" cookbook from Persian scholar Salma-ji. From the introductions of her book, she translated the Persian (Farsi) manuscript and modernize the recipes via down scale, etc. Because the real recipes were in banquet-portion for guests of the Fourth Mughal Emperor Jahangir (23 July 1547 – 28 October 1627).

Maybe one of these days, I'll brave and make it. I practically have almost every single ingredient in spice collection except the goose!
