Terry Scanlon's Calves' Liver for two Two slices calves liver (heavily peppered) 1 heaped teaspoon brown French mustard 4 tablespoons of port 1 tablespoon water 1 tablespoon mint 1 tablespoon parsley a good knob of butter Heat the fry pan, the butter should bubble when it hits the pan. Cook the liver quickly on either side - remove and keep warm. First put in the mustard, then add the port and water to the pan. It will sizzle. Reduce to two tablespoons of pan juices, just enough to coat each slice of the liver, this only takes seconds. Throw in herbs and stir. Pour over liver and serve. This a great reviver. Serve with Irish potato cake, a light salad and fine burgundy.

Mirrors figure largely in Gore's work of this time, he uses them to enhance an interior composition and add complexity to it. He also uses mirrors in his self-portraits, which some may argue is a necessary device, true to life. He does however combine still lifes in an interior with a mirror - a means by which he adds his own presence in the composition.
