Has anyone been to one of those Basuba restaurants? I'm being made to go..

Friday looks decidedly better, Moro for lunch, Negril for dinner.

Xander what would you recommend? (also you around tomorrow, need to cross your palm with some silver)

Is that one of those thai places? I quite enjoy them if I am in the mood for a quick padthai (boring i know). I think overall ive always had quite a nice experience there.
Nothing amazing but I would go back for sure.
I am very jealous of your friday I must say. Make sure you try the Yogurt Cake and the Cardamon & Rosewater Icecream at moro

They're called 'Busaba', but Google finds them for you regardless.

You been to one Oliver?

No, I haven't, which is why I looked at the web-site.

I did the same. The website is annoying, which I think is what is putting me off. I like wagas so this should be cool.

They ain't bad, but they're nothing too special.
Quite expensive too I think....

Yeah, not bad, like a better Wagamama - owned by the same mob I think

Does anyone have a good Cornish pastie recipe?

Also does anyone know what those big ones are called which you slice rather than eat whole?

Cheers.

You need to make a simple Pate Brisee but replace the plain flour with bread flour for the gluten, (i'd go half bread, half plain)
Then for the filling - Chuck steak, Potato, suede and Onion. salt and pepper. cut it into small chunks. Chuck steak is the proper way but skirt, Bavette or even Rump could be used.

Make the shapes, sling it in the oven at 160 for about an hour and make it all jubbly. oh brush the pastry with egg or sutin so it goes all lovely and golden

My Gran (Cornish side) used to make it from Ruff Puff.. fucking amazing but heavy and not the proper way, slow cooked ruff puff does that

That might be a bit tough on the old gnashers mate?

I made one tonight. Leek and pancetta, served with baked cod. Really tasty.

There was a thing on the Guardian where a chef reckons the quickest he's been able to fry onions for a risotto is 17 minutes.

Mine usually take about 20.

Well I grow my own onions, peel their skin through flattery, bless them individually then convince them to collapse into perfectly chopped pieces with a wave of my hand, before sauteing by proxy.

i hate chopping onions.. we need some decent knives at home :(

Just had roasted baby aubergines and sauteed broccolli florets in garlic and lemon with slow braised peppers and onions and roasted rosemary potatoes... Lish...
