Got my mums Moong Dhal and Bagara Baingan (Hyderbadi Aubergine Curry) for lunch. Winnnnnn.

I had leftover d(h)aal for breakfast #csb

Bagar Baingan is one of the best aubergine preparations out there #truestory

Any chance of a recipe? I love aubergine!

Caz they do AMAZING bagar baingan at rasa in stokey

All of Rasa's baingan dishes are off the chain

I love Rasa and I am well overdue a visit. As soon as I shake this Tonsilitis I'm there!

Forum trip? I love RASA N16.

Yes!

With pleasure RG, will sort in week or two. Got ur seeds anyways :-)

Whatevs you're eating, I've just woken up after a nap in San Sebastián and I'm off out for some pintxos. So I win.

loads of apples left round here, so made a pudding from my childhood, gache melee

3lb apples, weight after being peeled, cored and chopped (ideally 2lb tart cookers to 1lb of dessert)
1lb flour
8oz suet
8oz brown sugar
4oz guernsey butter, diced cold
3 eggs, beaten
teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch salt

heat a moderate oven

place apples in a very large sturdy bowl

tip in 6oz of the sugar and with a sharp knife chop it into the apple until sugar liquified and juice forms

line a 12 x 10 baking/roasting tin with greaseproof paper and butter it

tip the flour, suet, butter,salt and spices into the apple/sugar, and chop in with the knife until all solids absorbed into the melee, then add the three beaten eggs, combining again

pour this thick batter into the tin, dust with the remaining 2oz sugar, and place in the oven, baking for 1 to 11/2 hours. if the top is not crispy enough, turn heat up for 20 minutes.

remove and leave to cool in the tin, then once set (my aunt used to leave it overnight under a tea-towel on the cold shelf in the larder), cut into squares and eat, perhaps with guernsey cream

Forum trip? I love RASA N16.

Yes!

Before Easts next week? Eat at 6, pub at 7:30/8?

Quite possibly, can I let you know closer to the time?

Sure, should we stick it in the Easts thread?

Sure, should we stick it in the Eats thread?

Easts Eats.

Sounds like an idea.

Ffffuuuuuu. You do indeed win, sir.

So, here's one for you lot. I'm a professional chef, and have just been dumped on pastry section- which I know sod all about- and told to come up with some dishes. I've got some thoughts scribbled down, but it's all a bit predictable (or stolen). I need ideas that are a little bit different, or just outright delicious.

What have you had? What do you love? What do you cook?

baklava is great and M'hanncha is awesome , not sure from my time in the kitchen that either would be great to do in large amounts but if you got the mis en place sorted before it could be a possible

Sounds like an idea.

Done.

Anything off the last four seasons of GBBO?

What type of chef were you before? A pâtissier is a pretty skilled job and well worth the time if you want to be Sous-chef or Chef de cuisine.

St John's chocolate terrine is a standout OMFG best chocolate thing I have ever eaten ever.
Lemon delicious pudding I make at home and love love love.
