Dessert

And so then I went online to look and actually online I found a recipe that I had in a cookbook that I'd overlooked, which was Yotam Otelenghi and Helen Goh's cookbook.

They have a cookbook called Sweet and inside they have a wonderful chocolate cake recipe.

And it was reprinted on Food 52 and they call it world's best chocolate cake.

That's a big claim.

Can you say what his bakes were? Okay, his bakes were a chocolate Black Forest gateau, but it was, like, non-traditional in some way.

He did something called the Queen of Desserts, which was, like, a... layered sort of dessert where you use breadcrumbs to become like a sponge layer with cream and then he also did a sticky toffee pudding which i thought looked really good but they were like it wasn't the right container which is the second time in the episode he picked the wrong container he did a too big of a ramekin for his self-saucing puddings

yeah

so i feel like yannis is just like he can bang out an amazing dessert no doubt but i just think he hasn't spent enough time with baking to have the sort of like intuitive sense of it that someone like mo has or like the exacting like perfectionism of like connie and gary in some ways when they're approaching these old recipes they're like you want this old recipe it's gonna be old as hell it's gonna be traditional And he doesn't quite know where to go when he has the freedom.

All right.

Next week, we will cover episode five from series 17, Dessert Week.

Puddings galore.

Yeah.

Okay.

So are, are there still desserts, right? Although it's, it's just not called Diamonds and Desserts, which is what it's been for, what? Probably twenty-five years.

Exactly.

It was Diamond and Desserts.

It's no longer.

It's-

So I pick them up and I'm copying the wrath of it, the aftermath, because it had just happened.

Dessert's the last meal, obviously.

So it's fresh, fresh off the press happening in my car.

You're fucking hopeless too.
