"Roast duck is a classic meal and one grandson and I prepare and enjoy over the Christmas holidays. We love the amazingly rich flavor and amazed at how easy it is to cook. A medley of roasted vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, celery and onions and a lovely side dish of wild rice mix make for the perfect accompaniments. Red wine pairs well with roast duck."
