Love the dinky fry pan.
Still do the smear though. (The next suve vide I reckon)

Everything about that snail dish is perfect. Except that it's got snail in it.

Oooh Pierre loves The Svenster

Yes, Cremola. That's pretty much my issue with the snail dish. Snail-less it would be lovely.

You can tell Pierre has trained many, many chefs in his time.

Sadly this is not the 70s food anyone remembers. 3 Michelin star prawn cocktail would be hilarious.

That said, I don't fancy this confit salmon either.

I love snails when I'm pissed.
Salmon in goose fat? Not convinced.

Every thing in aspic. I still have my Hamlyn All Colour Cookbook from the 70s.

If this is representative, even fine dining in the 70s was a bit crap.

My mum had that. I loved it.
Nah, doesn't ring my bells. But his technique with no timers or thermometer-that's skill.

Sven has tried to improve upon The MasterConfused

I'm loving the fight back for proper cooking this series. Grin

They're very over-awed

My memory of food in the 70's is that everything was overwhelmingly orange. Mandarin orange pavlova
Baked beans, fish fingers, birds eye Supermousse

I like this round too. It's not gimmicky in any way. Just 'do great cooking' as an instruction.

Didn't miss much CW food wise. Butterscotch Angel Delight was a highlight.

And I bet Pierre is right about how to cook the pigeon. Marcus agrees with Pierre.
