Summary

This week we have Ravneet Gill on The Dream Dinner Party– she is an extraordinary pastry chef who just makes the most amazing cakes and puddings. She’s also a TV presenter and cook book author – her third – Baking for Pleasure is out now and it’s all about baking for the pure joy of it. She has been a guest on Desert Island Dishes – a few years ago but well worth a listen. I knew Rav loves to entertain so was great to hear more about that and how she envisages her Dream Dinner Party.

0:00.0	This episode of Desert Island Dishes is brought to you in partnership with the independent family-run butcher, HG Walter.
0:07.4	Now, I'm particularly excited about this because for over 10 years, I have been a customer of HG.
0:12.5	Walter for both my cooking jobs and also for at home too.
0:16.4	They are one of the most respected butchers in the UK, supplying some of the best chefs and restaurants in the country.
0:22.4	So it's quite cool to know that you are getting restaurant quality meat at home.
0:26.9	And I know I've said this a million times before,
0:28.9	but if you start with good ingredients,

1:05.7	I found this kind of information absolutely invaluable when I was starting out as a chef,
1:10.7	so I am thrilled to be
1:12.4	telling you all about HG Walter today. They're based in London, but they deliver nationwide and you can
1:18.3	find out more at www.hgwater.com. Thank you very much. Hi, I'm Margie Namura and welcome to another episode of our side dish, the dream dinner party.
1:32.8	This is the mini episode where we invite a guest to tell us all about their dream dinner party.
