    He did, said I had managed to cook the courgette and aubergine properly (its really easy to under/over cook apparently). Then he asked why I had included the Mango Lissi... I told him to try the chilli chicken... He knew after that lol. He didnt say much else but I will find out on wed hopefully.

    Cream in the sauce would neutralise the chilli in it. Though I am aware that different levels of spice for all, thats why I have included the cooling dipping sauce. Ohh I hadn't thought about bamboo! You are all fabulous people, you cant imagine how grateful I am you are taking the time to...

    I found out today that I am not allowed to use dried pasta anyway, so pasta is most certainly vetoed! But I did take the opportunity to tell Chef about Dreamfields, as it was something I had found whilst looking about. Its just that because this is an assessment I have to make it all. If you...

    The white wine reduction would give an excellent sheen to the chicken and also compliment the flavours, though it wouldn't really thicken the sauce... *ponders upon it being runnyish* Actually, since I am now having to use a bed of veg a slightly runny jus lie might work better... I really...
