    A few minutes before the meat is done butter the bread thoroughly on both sides and place under the gril, turning oncel until well coloured.

    Pour in the brandy and flame the partridge. Do not allow it to evaporate completely. Lift the bird to res on the toastt. Drop the mushrooms back into the pan. Add the stock and lemon juice and simmer quickly until you have about 3 tbs of jus Drop in the cold butter bit by bit stirring all the time until the sauce emulsifies
