Bubbles Blow Out

Then Mrs Beeton. Now Sadie Groom.

Ever wondered how to make a double baked cheese soufflé whilst drinking a whole bottle of plonk..? No, neither had I. But once you do I firmly believe there is no going back!
Yesterday saw the summer Bubble blow out pre-IBC day out. Those in attendance, including soufflé queen Wendy, got to learn the tricks of the culinary trade at one of the capital's finest catering schools. Our very own Delia for the day (who would’ve never been heard shouting ‘let’s be ‘aving you!’) was immaculately turned out with pink chef whites and matching lipstick and nails. Despite the lovelier than lovely appearance woe betide anyone not coring apples correctly or greasing their ramekins in accordance with her instructions. It was a fantastic experience whereby we helped create a three course lunch including the aforementioned soufflé, a Moroccan main of chicken and butternut squash and to finish a tarte tatin – which was as impressive in the build up as it was on the taste buds!
We chopped, caramalised, whisked, drunk and laughed our way through the afternoon and then flaked out in the sunshine as we looked over London from Muswell Hill. A fantastic day – done.
