Are you sure you meant petulance?

God I'm a pedantic cnut

Ha! Yep, I meant the other thing :)

first attempt at making pizza from scratch

A+ for effort

But did you use wholemeal flour?

Xander, that yoghurt cake looks delish. I can make tea if you can bring cake.

Kinda looks like Idli - fermented indian rice cakes - have em with lots of sambhar. nom nom.

I made Olly's Aubergine dish last night - really good - vietnamese flavours. Will do with a big bowl of steamed rice next time - and super easy to make. Delicious! Perfect summer food.

If you can find it course ground flour white flour is best, but then you have to leave the dough proving for longer (12 - 24 hrs)

Get thee to an Italian deli and try Tipo 00 flour; gives you the thinnest, stretchiest pizza dough.

^ Will give it a shot cheers.

Or Sainsbury's/Waitrose.

Try Jamie Oliver's recipe http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/pizza-recipes/pizza-dough, it's superb. One thing though; you must make sure to roll, stretch the bases as thin as possible otherwise you just get a thick doughy mess. Also, oven as hot as it goes.

Niiiiice.

My aubergine dish:-) It is good with rice, especially with coconut/kaffir lime rice and a spot of sambal and maybe an Asian omelette for a touch of protein.

Glad you liked it, it is rather delicious. Was at a malaysian's friend last night who had her mum and maid over here (2 different people!) They cooked an amazing meal and gave me a cooking lesson. Heaven!

Haul from Taste London today:

Baklava, Slipsmith Gin, God Beer (Swedish pronounced Good), French Nougat, Nice Cheese, Toffee Vodka, Black Pudding and Chocolate Pretzels.

Ate and drank a lot, sleep now..

Where can I get a BIG piece of ham?

And I don't just mean a little kilo of gammon - I mean like a haunch from an enormous pig. The kind of thing Asterix and Obelix would be seen tucking into.

A proper butches

What's a butches?

nuknow, i see you reading this thread - where can I get a good hunk of meat around our neck of the woods?

that coffee table has a nice calorie feast thereon :)

Get up EARLY and head down to smithfield. Or alternatively speak to a local independent butchers they should be able to sort one for you; The Chef and Butcher at the natural kitchen in Merylebone is good, speak to Andy he is the owner and the guy in the photo knows his stuff too as he worked as a sous chef for Marco Pierre White, anyway have a word with him he may be able to sort something out for you. Unless you want air dried / cured ham in which cased you will have to go to a Deli, and unfortunately I do not know any suppliers who will deal with you on a one off basis but you could try Brindsa or the deli part of iberica on Great Portland St. will not be cheap though.

Ta very much!

My pleasure.

Today is a Ploughmans day.

I am cook bulgogi for dinenr

Awesome dish. Me Korean mate's mum cooked me it once > bliss

Went to a great little brasserie in Brussels last night wi't' missus, called Le Coin des Artistes
