Found out that sweet pastry tarts are OK if taken out of the fridge hours before serving. Otherwise rock hard.
Went to Bookers with Dorian and bought some dried porcini, a cake tin, two oval stainless steel platters a la HK for shoving food under grills, in ovens etc. to keep warm before serving, and a red striped apron which looks v. professional. And revisited Sainsbury's at Nine Elms as Dorian had to buy some food. I purchased some black forest ham as Tesco have stopped stocking it and I like using it as bacon .
They aired the Britain's Best Dish South, including London, yesterday. Strangely there was a roquefort cheese ice cream as a pudding, the guy poncily injecting grapes with wine etc, and I was glad to see it did not win. Beaten by a gorgeous raspberry and almond frangipane tart which I shall nick the recipe from the website. Also keen to do the pheasant casserole from that programme. Fortunately I did not catch sight of myself failing the interview - they seem to flash past the failures quite quickly, fortunately.
