Duck breast has a reputation as restaurant food, the sort of thing you order out because surely it is too tricky to cook at home. It is not. In fact it is one of the most forgiving impressive dinners I know, because the technique that gives you that lacquered, crackling skin is almost lazy: you start it in a cold pan and let time do the work. Pair it with a sauce of dark cherries and port, all sweet, sharp and faintly boozy, and you have a meal that tastes like a special occasion but takes barely half an hour of actual effort.
