I just made Fondant Potatoes for the first time ever.

Bloody gorgeous!

Just made a pizza with 00 flour instead of the usual bread flour, mixed a little cornmeal in too for texture and a thin layer of it under the tray to stop it sticking, much preferred my base with this flour, less heavy and smoother texture. Just topped it with passata, herbs, green pesto, wild mushrooms and cheese. Seasoned with salt n pepper. Lovely.

Do I want to attempt to make a beef consomme or is it likely to just go wrong?

tricks are:

Mix in egg whites, meat, veg when stock cold

simmer slowly with heat source on one side of pan.

pass through muslin at end into very clean pan.

I've been to their Taste of Christmas show before and it's pretty awesome

I don't think I'd have the nerve to enter this Amateurs Competition though, so good luck with it.

You'll crush it, no bother.

Hope so but from what I can find you only have 30mins to prep and 30mins to cook. No idea if you supply own ingredients or its a case of ready steady cook. Defo prefer the former as don't want to be cooking ready made burgers and sausages etc but the 30min time slot doesn't allow for too much creative stuff
