You are looking at a Gorgeous Gugel which is a Gugelhopf – warm intense chocolate pudding with a melting middle served with white chocolate granita and a blackcurrant mint cassis compote. So divine so perfect. You’ll have to head to Brighton, to Terre a Terre to try it.
It was Sacha’s birthday and we were off to Brighton to see Philip Glass perform his score for the cult film Koyaanisquatsi. I booked Terre a Terre even though neither of us comes close to being a vegetarian. Why? Well, A A Gill loved it and if a staunch carnivore could love it, something good’s going on. And was….
Sacha had the Uttapum and Dhudi which was a southern Indian red onion and chilli crumpet topped with coriander seed butter, served with dhudi gourd crammed with mangosteen masoor dahl, finished with a cardamom and capsicum sauce and a mango tango salad. Sounds mad? Yes indeed, complex and messy but adventurous and fun.
I dont really know what I had, what was in it, other than it was delicious and light.
If anyone recognises this dish. Please help!
