The recipe calls for ‘size 3’ eggs but here in the UK this type of sizing no longer exists. Nor are the dishes in this book influenced by trends…My aim instead it to reflect traditional skills…The dishes that you will find in this book are the ones that my family and friends come to share with me at home.Īlthough the recipe is called Tarte au Chocolat in effect it is more like a cake.

What better book to use for choosing the dessert than an old favourite, Raymond Blanc’s Cooking for Friends.* Mr Blanc introduces the book: Tonight we are having rotisserie chicken which is possible as our oven has a clever device that allows us to grill the chicken as it turns. The cakes for dessert came from Lanka, a local Japanese-inspired patisserie. The friends in question belong to Junior 1, who last night cooked us salt-baked sea bream, accompanied by fennel, asparagus, new potatoes and chorizo from Brindisa. Whilst waiting I thought I would make a dessert for tonight’s instalment of Dinner with Friends. Perhaps God in his wisdom has also designed our brains to store more data as it shrinks in size.

Nevertheless, despite taking up less space, it can hold more than twice the amount of memory. Not only will the new box store and back-up all our computer data, it is also much smaller. It is important to receive this parcel as it contains a new black box which (Mr Gochugaru patiently explained) replaces our current black box. People used to wait for amazing things to happen but now we seem to be waiting for Amazon things to happen. Gochugaru Girl had a bit of waiting to do this morning.
