Carolyn Eichin: Duck dish takes a diner back to medieval times

Chef Richard Oates of the new Core @ the Cider Factory Restaurant in beautiful Virginia City (yes, beautiful since the blue skies are back and the smoke has cleared) has kindly shared with us his recipe for medieval duck. The Core is in the Cider Factory stone building behind Edith Palmer’s Country Inn at South B Street. Chef Richard and Alexia are working hard to please the most sophisticated palate in town — and doing a great job.
