    Wow Captain cook, you do demos for Weber and in your spare time you abuse people on the internet. I wonder if Weber is happy their brand is now being damaged by its association with you? If you are a passionate BBQ expert why not add something positive to the forum by posting your recipe for peking duck? Show us how it's really done. I for one am genuinely interested to hear how you would approach it given your experience.

      Slinkyboy. If you do a search on Peking Duck you will find my recipe for Peking Style Roast Duck which can be roasted on a BBQ or in an oven. As for the abuse comment, I fail to see anywhere where I have abused anyone except for one comment that I made to Jane to which I publically apologised to her immediately after posting it. If you would like a recipe for a specific type of meat/dish for the BBQ, put a post in my member page and I will be happy to try and help you out.

    Hey guys, the recipe title above is just part of the template on the site ... it is the same for every recipe. I think this is a good concept (cheat/bastardised or not) and for those who are not up to cooking a peking duck (let's face it, probably most of us) this is a simple way to eat it at home. I think anything that encourages people to get into the kitchen, no matter how simple, is a great thing. - hg

    Bio good! Again, it doesn't matter if one has tried Peking Duck in Bejing or the top Chinese restaurant anywhere else in the world. All I am saying is that the peking duck rolls any chinese restaurants in the UK are excellent. I love the way they shred the meat, not slice it. Delicious! If I could buy the same variety of duck here, I would be making them all the time. No Chinese restaurant in Perth has them on their menu.

    It is the method of a recipe. So what if you buy everything cooked/prepared. Most aussies wouldn't even have tried them so yes, call it a recipe.

    Captain Cook, You have no idea about Peking Duck Rolls, as you obviously haven't tried them because if you had you would be a fan and wouldn't write negative comments about them . The UK do not serve bastardised versions. I have eaten them in some top restaurants in the UK and they always prepare them the same way. Yes, Peking Duck is served in slices but for these rolls the meat should be shredded. The full duck gets shredded on the platter at the table in front of guests. Perhaps you should try them before commenting. People always tend to say that if the food isn't prepared in Asia then it isn't authentic - this narrowmindedness!

    • Captain Cook
      February 2010

      As I said that is the bastardised way, but if you think it is ok and satisfied with average then fair enough. I don't want to rain on your parade. One question though have you ever had Peking Duck in Bejing at one of the famous Peking Duck restaurants, you will understand what I mean then. - Enjoy

    Captian Cook, You really have a problem don't you how long have you been cooking Asian food I'd like to know

      Sorry Jane, I appologise for the outburst, you have a right to an opinion. One of my pet hates is that there is so much prepackaged food nowadays. many people only know how to open the packet or tim and reheat the food, or cook following the instructions. I find it an insult that a renown Chef such as Peter would advocate something like what was written above as a recipe. That and the way in which it is prepared is not correct either. If you ever get the chance go to the Quanjude Peking Duck Restaurant in Melbourne where you will be treated to the most Authentic Peking Duck in Australia. Once again I appologise for my rudness.

      36 Years, all over Asia, and you Jane, I suppose your experience is based on eatting at the local Chinese Take away? I have 2 cookbooks to my credit, what are your credentials?

    I always ordered these at chinese restaurants in the UK, the best ever! The duck breast they used was "Aylesbury" which you cannot get over here. The meat was always shredded with 2 forks and the skin was always very crispy. Can someone convince me, if I buy a duck from an asian market here in Perth that I will get the exact texture that of the shredded crispy duck in the UK???

      Rene The Peking Duck that you got in the UK was a bastardised version of the Asian dish. There are a couple of places in Northbridge which specialise in Peking Duck (the right way). The meat is not supposed to be shredded. Peking duck is served with thin slices of skin and the underlying meat.

    i agree with captain cook. Now had they prepared and cooked the duck and made the pancakes it could be called a recipe!!

    • rene Jobes
      February 2010

      Well what you and Captain Cook have to do is find a recipe for the duck and pancakes and cook them yourselves and then you can call it a recipe.

    I had no idea what the pancakes were called, found on about.com & just absolutely so yummy. Some of us did not have a mum to show us how to make sandwiches or this beauty. Thank you Lifestyle & Peter.

    How any chef can put their name to this defies imagination. This is not a recipe, its like giving instructions to a child on how to put together a sandwhich. Shame on you for even printing such garbage.

    The pancakes you buy frozen in an asian grocery store. The roasted duck you buy at an asian butcher or restaurant, wherever you can see them hanging.

    nice but it doesn't explain how to prepare any of the ingredients. They're already prepared.

      You could use rice paper rolls instead of mandarin pancakes - much healthier. Also you can buy prepared peking duck breast in a vacuum sealed pack at practically any good deli/butcher. Marina6
