The squeeze between Xmas and NYE




I thought all my Christmases had come at once walking into work on boxing day and a technician was fixing a fault with the oven. A note on my prep list informed me that if the oven wasn't going to be fixed in time we had to find a replacement for the soufflé. I got to work so excited to have a service without that damn soufflé. The oven tech said it was out of his hands better call a sparkie. Sparkie came and had it fixed with about 5 minutes to spare, bastard.
The dish went on as a special today. It comprises of passionfruit sorbet, mint pannacotta, vanilla Italian meringue and nemesis cake crumbs. Goes alright.

This enabled me to set the che
