Ruined a Ginger pig sausage roll.. i don't even like the place but their sausage rolls are bang on the money.

was craving for the meat hit after a weekend nailing Rhubarb - i went for my ultimate Rhubarb tart - confit rhubarb, rhubarb and ginger compote, creme pat, rhubarb apple and lemon syrup and muscavado, almond and powdered egg crumble (the egg takes it up a level, no idea why it just does)

Very intensley flavoured - took a lot of the sugar out and used ginger and lemon to give the rhubarb a bit more kick, pectin to help set if (flours dampen the flavour) and changed the creme pat recipe to include another egg yolk with less sugar, oh also shortened the pastry so closer to shortbread.
Sadly the forced rhubarb is nearly out of season else i would have thrown some raw rhubarb in there

I then finally perfected my Brownie - this shit is a whole nuver level.. 4 types of chocolate from 100 nicaraguan through to 66% Caraibe. twice cooked base with set chocolate custard and a glaze that could kill a diabetic family. I threw a couple of hazelnuts in there to count towards your 5 a day..

pic over sells it but its for the website so why the fuck not.
