After listening to Mae Martin on Off Menu speaking about Pumpkin Pie, I decided to give it a whirl using the tinned pumpkin you get from the US section in big Tesco. Actually pretty good, better than I expected.

What pastry did you use? I usually go for a ready made pie crust, but 99% of them are usually already broken in supermarket when I check.

Just a ready made Puff pastry, one that you roll out. Looks a bit rough and ready but they’re pretty good to keep in the fridge.

Revelation for me was the condensed milk that it needed, not sure I’ve ever tasted it on its own, could happily have drunk it neat. Delicious!

My old housemate made it once and it was one of those disgustingly cloying things, like marshmallows with a savoury meal, or american chocolate, that make you wonder how Americans can possibly enjoy them. Glad yours turned out better!

I’ve made great and terrible ones using the exact same ingredients / method.

Yeah I love it stirred trough Thai Tea - so sweet (and presumably naughty)

Mexican people, help!

I bought a molcajete like an idiot and I’m having trouble seasoning it, I’ve been grinding rice into it like a madman but it’s still mixing grit into the food.

Have you got one and how did you season it?

How’s it? I like the green tinge!

Really nice. Was originally just going to make it with a bit of vanilla in it but then remembered I bought some matcha powder that I hadn’t used yet.

As part of a recipe development project for my course, I was asked to make a gluten free, vegan Christmas dish, that could be made in under an hour with ingredients you can easily get at the supermarket. So I made this Christmas Tagine Pudding. The pudding ‘sponge’ is made with sweet potato, stuffed with chickpea tagine, and served with lemon and parsley couscous and salted date syrup and amaretto caramel.

Where’s the gluten free cous cous from, out of interest?

Oh god. Guess who just found out couscous isn’t gluten free :grimacing:

Good job my tutor didn’t notice! I’m sure it’d be lovely with quinoa.
