Steps:
- The day before: score the skin of the duck breast to help render the fat. Either use a very sharp knife to score the skin in a criss cross, diagonal pattern, being careful to only cut the fat, not going into the duck meat at all. The second option for scoring duck breasts: use a sausage pricker. By gently pressing down all over the surface of the duck skin and fat, you're creating lots of tiny holes.
- Dry out the skin. Once the skin is scored (or pricked), place duck breasts on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate uncovered for 8-12 hours, or up to 3 days. The cold air from the refrigerator will help to dry out the skin. This is key to getting crispy skin when you render the fat.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Heat a small amount of canola oil (or other high smoke point oil, such as grapeseed or vegetable oil) in a large skillet over medium heat, no higher!
- Cook the duck breasts. Season the duck on both sides with salt and pepper, then add skin side down. Cook undisturbed for 5-8 minutes, or until the fat has rendered. You'll know the duck is ready to flip when it easily pulls away from the pan, the fat has shrunk significantly, and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Flip the duck. Gently turn the duck breasts over, being careful not to puncture the skin. (If you're adding any aromatics -- garlic, fresh herbs, etc -- this is the time to do so). Transfer the pan to a preheated oven and cook for 5-7 minutes (Pekin duck will only take an additional 3-5 minutes). Check temperature to ensure desired doneness is reached. For medium-rare, look for an internal temperature of 135 F.
- Rest the duck. Allow the duck breasts to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into ¼ - ½" thick slices. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
- Make the port cherry sauce. Sauté olive oil, garlic cloves, fresh thyme, and cherries in a sauce pan, about 1-2 minutes over medium-high heat, breaking up the jam with a spatula. Pour in port (or red wine) and chicken stock, then bring to a boil and reduce by half. Turn off the heat, add 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, then swirl the pan until butter gently melts. Serve over sliced duck with flake sea salt sprinkled on top.

Steps:
- Score each duck breast's skin with a sharp knife, ensuring not to cut into the meat.
- Season generously with salt and leave the duck breasts to stand for 15 minutes. Pat both sides dry with a paper towel.
- Place the duck breasts skin side down in a cold frying pan and switch on the heat to a medium-high setting.
- Wait. Leave the duck undisturbed for around 3-5 minutes (depending on size of breasts) and watch as the fat melts, which lubricates the meat. Using a spatula or tongs, you can press down on the meat side to ensure the skin is evenly cooked.
- Flip the breasts over and cook for 3-4 minutes, all depending on how well you like your duck cooked.
- We advise medium-rare pink. If the duck is thicker on one side, tip the breasts onto the thick sides and allow to cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Remove from the pan and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve with your choice of vegetables and accompanying sauce. I suggest dauphinoise potatoes, steamed broccoli and orange sauce. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Lightly score the skin of the duck breasts, then generously season with the peppercorns and a sprinkling of salt. Lay the duck breasts, skin-side down, in a non-stick sauté pan, then place over a low heat. Leave the duck for 15 mins to brown and release its fat, then flip over onto the flesh side for 5 mins.
- Remove the duck from the pan, then turn up the heat. Add the potatoes to the pan, fry until brown and crisp, then scatter over the parsley and garlic. Scoop out with a slotted spoon onto a plate, then season with salt.
- Keep the pan on the heat. Fry the bacon until crisp, then add the cabbage. Cook for 1 min, add a splash of water, then fry for 2 mins, just until the cabbage is wilted. While the cabbage is cooking, whisk any juices from the duck with the vinegar and olive oil. To serve, carve the duck breast into slices. Fan out on large dinner plates, spoon a neat bundle of cabbage on one side, then pile a serving of potatoes on the other. Drizzle over the dressing and serve.

Steps:
- Lightly score the skin of the duck breasts, then season well. Place a non-stick pan over a medium heat, then lay the duck in the pan, skin-side down. Cook until the fat starts to come from the duck, then add the garlic and thyme. Turn down the heat, then continue to cook for 15-20 mins, depending on the size of the duck breast, until the skin is really crisp and brown. As it cooks, pour the fat into a large pan for the cabbage.
- Flip the duck over, cook on the flesh side for 3 mins until browned, then turn off the heat (this will result in meat that is pink in the middle - cook for a few minutes longer if you like it well done). Leave the duck in the pan to rest.
- While the duck cooks, heat 1 tbsp of its fat in the other pan. Add the celeriac and bacon, then gently fry for 5 mins until the celeriac has browned and the bacon starts to crisp. Add the thyme, then the cabbage. Fry the cabbage for 5 mins until it starts to wilt. Add 100ml water and simmer for 5 mins until the water has evaporated and the celeriac is soft. Pour in the cream, stir to coat, then add the chestnuts and heat through. This can be done up to a day ahead - cook the celeriac in 1 tbsp vegetable oil instead of the duck fat and reheat with an extra splash of cream before serving.
- Cut the pear in half and use a melon baller or teaspoon to scoop out the core. Place a star anise in the cavity of each half.
- Place 3 tbsp of the icing sugar in a non-stick pan and heat to make a light amber caramel. Pour in the vinegar and bubble to make a sticky syrup. Dust the pear halves heavily with the rest of the icing sugar, then place the pan back on the heat. Cook the pear for 10 mins until brown and caramelised all over. This can be done up to a day ahead and reheated, adding a splash of water.
- To serve, slice each duck breast lengthways and dress the watercress in the olive oil and vinegar. Spoon a neat mound of cabbage on one side of each plate. Place a pear half, cut-side up, on the opposite side of the plate and drizzle the sticky sauce around it. Place the outside slices of duck breast on the cabbage and fan the rest of the duck over. Scatter the dressed watercress sprigs around the sides of the plates and serve.
