Any great duck recipes?

[Jalapeñomel]

We bought a duck to roast this year, because it's just the three of us, and I hate turkey (LOL).  I've never cooked duck before, but I'm fairly good with roasting birds.  Any good recipes?

Well it isn't that little, it's a medium duck.

I've never roasted a whole duck, only pan-seared duck breast. We're considering doing this for Christmas though. If it turns out well, be sure to post!

Duck is our New Years Eve meal. I always use Julia Child's Duck a l'orange recipe.

Whatever recipe you use, poke a billion tiny holes in the skin with a paring knife, then pour 2 cups of boiling water over it before you stuff/season. Best way to get crispy skin.

And make popovers with the duck fat!
