Back in June, I told you all that the lovely Mat Follas (MasterChef winner 2009) was allowing me to take over his restaurant in Dorset.
That time is finally approaching - this Friday, with the help of Mat and his brilliant crew, I will be cooking a Burmese feast for 40 diners at the Wild Garlic.
The menu is a secret, but one of the ingredients I will be using is pictured above.
Mr Follas and me
You can read more about my forthcoming Burmese night on Foodies South West.
Congrats and good luck Mimi - that's so exciting.

ReplyDeleteCristophene/chayote/chocho. I'll be interested to find out what you do with them as they are easy to get here but my past efforts have been very bland and uninspiring.
ReplyDeleteOOh good luck.They look a bit like vegetable pears but those ones look really perfect almost like a green version of a Salvatore Dali lip sofa!
ReplyDelete@chumbles - Thanks Mr C!
ReplyDelete@knit nurse - Got it in one (or three!)
@Northern Snippet - That's another name for them. Someone said they look like Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors ;)
