Wish a certain man from Birkenhead was on there tonight. (I wonder if he's been asked?)

Interests me! More chance of me getting to Hyde Park than Bray.

Douglas, is this post-cook, once out of the bag?

am really interested in Nathan Outlaw but his place is so far away from me, am unlikely to get close. Is there any chance you could post some snaps of the food?

Ideas in Food have used it search their blog for novel applications.

Its stupid. Do they not like money!

anyone got a yeast and glazed recipe in metric?

Have made 2009 the year of not obsessing! It won't last! I've just sold my chocovision tempering machine. (after reading the Fat Duck and it dawning on me I can perfectly temper with the vac-packer & circulator) Got the super bags after you told me about them, also like using a micro mesh skimmer that Origamicrane sent me. Sam also recommended getting a thermal cooker and it is the best/economical way to make stock & demi-glace, but way too small for your needs. If the £/€ wasn't so god awful I'd get Chocolate by Ramon Morato.

Marc, have you bought any new shinny gadgetry or machines for me to covet?

Is using Pecorino instead Parmigiano considered a mortal sin?

v.impressive!

in The Fat Duck Cookbook, HB says that tostare il riso creates tiny fractures that allows the rice absorb more stock.

Is La Répertoire de La Cuisine worth a purchase?

anyone get any snaps of their creations?

Tried them all... 1)Onion Bhaji (not strong enough for my liking). 2)Builders Breakfast (enjoyed the various flavours especially got the egg & bean, technically the best) 3)Crispy duck & Hoi sin (star anise flavour) 4)Fish & chips (gone off fish finger/thai fish sauce and vinegar) 5)Cajun Squirrel (achingly underwhelming) 6)Chocolate & chilli (like kissing your Gran with tongues. Yes that wrong.) Where's the Doner Kebab and vomit flavour?

anyone got a link to these compressors and guns? Doesn't the compressor inevitably spray some oil into the chocolate?

I've found that waterbaths upto 12 litres are temperature stable, with not much variation or cold spots. Above that you probably need a pump for circulation.

Builder's breakfast is an English fry up. The Cajun flavour involves no essence of actual squirrel!

only had Onion Bhaji but just wish they were a tad stronger.

Mike that's a very high temperature, would you do it again? Can I hassle nathanM or does anyone know the progress of that book of his?

OUCH!!!!!!!!!! Funk me!!!

400 sick, yet Kelvin McKenzie survives the Tudor feast unmolested.

Prawn if you had a trace of human dignity you'd invite us all round for supper Looks great as ever, you flash brummy b'stard!

Mike, how does it compare to the other two book? Worth the money?
