A blast from the past
Did anyone else see the blurb from ravinder bogul in Thursdays g2_section of the guardian. Had not seen her since the f word. She looks great and it sounds like she has done good. Been a long trek since that hot chocolate soufflé. Tho that looked good too.
Re: A blast from the past
Ravinder's name is new to me, although I see she was featured in our Telegraph in 2017 with two or three recipes, apparently written eight months after her own restaurant opened, so well done to her if still going strong as times is 'ard here for restos.
I quite like the idea of the preserved lemon (rind) in the aoili for her spring onion bhajis.

Hey jeral
Love the recipes, never considered scallions for a bhaji. Good idea on the preserved lemon.

From season three, according to wiki, 2007

Shame they couldn't have cut the first 10 seconds of that second video. Crude and unnecessary.
Re: A blast from the past
Thanks for those clips. Budding Nigella? What do you do in the six minutes while your souffle is cooking? Put the rubbish out? As you say, it looks good. That was back in 2007, so it must have spurred Ravinder on

After your first video clip, Fanny Cradock came up next on Youtube for me. Old school at its best complete with her inimitable turn of phrase. Also the practical, e.g. the Xmas cake wrapped round with paper from the stationer, pleated by Johnnie (usually well oiled hubby), and stuck with UHU glue
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usxozpMgwnE
Followed by another video in which Fanny makes and pipes petit fours using choux pastry and at one point declares she was in a "terrible state of fury" when told the goo had to be raked out of the middles and proceeds to demonstrate that every one of her items was hollow. Great stuff.
PS Fanny's tip for no goo in choux was to cool the mixture completely before piping it.

It looked very Nigella to me.

ooh jeral, I don't know if you are (a) in the UK or (b) old enough to remember Fanny Craddock on TV.
There was one memorable moment which has gone down in UK Tv history. She was making doughnuts and, after the programme, the continuity announcer said "and may all your doughnuts turn out like Fanny's"

Re: A blast from the past
I never watch the F-word, on principle
But I've been racking my brain to think where Ravinder Bhogal's name has come up recently, I think just on Twitter when she won and award for her cook book, it seems a lot of peopel I follow also follow her
