Checked the calorie count of the Dishoom dish (yes, I'm boring and bored). It comes out at 2200 calories for 8-10 people (so 220-275 calories per portion), it states cleary to serve it with chapati (another 120-200 calories) and it's presented as a dish that would be part of a larger meal.

I'd say smaller portion with small chapati = 360 calories = part of larger meal
bigger portion with bigger chapati = 475 calories = lunch portion or light dinner

Does anyone care? I'm not sure even I do.
I care that you have done this. We all care.

More to the point though… is Dishoom a chain?

Goddamit, I hate it when I miss a chaos.

Anyhoo, here's the reason Jack's LEGENDARY AMAZING WORLD FAMOUS roast potatoes look greasy and horrible.

And here's her butter bean 'cassoulet'

Almost tempted to try this to see how bad it is , however the poster has cut out half the recipe (praise beans).

A recipe that calls itself 5 ingredients and the proceeds to list 6!

Unless for some reason the butter doesn’t count because it’s only for lining…

OH MY GOD I've just been looking for the full recipe of the 5 ingredient sticky toffee pudding and found this instead - the 5 ingredient salted caramel yule log. You'll never guess what one of those ingredients is! It's ... an Asda Swiss roll!! This must surely rival her tomato soup recipe (in which the main ingredient is a tin of tomato soup).*

I might report her for using illegal sprinkles. I would love it if that was the thing that finally took her down.

Done and done.

So, one of the main benefits of the Asda Swiss roll is that it’s so chock-full of preservatives and other crap that it stays soft after being left out all night? #wholesome

So glad she took the time out of her BUSY schedule to write an entire 'recipe' about decorating an Asda Swiss roll.

Well, do YOU care for blood and tears and martyrdom? 😂
I think I would rather she use ready made than use her “blend everything together until it is the wrong consistency” technique.

Curdled lardcream icing anyone?

I have a recipe for a one ingredient Yule Log.




Go to Tesco, buy a Yule Log (other premade brands are available, I just live near Tesco)
