The database behind this site was the loving creation of Suzy Oakes, who has since passed away. She is greatly missed. You can see her obituary in the Guardian

A cookbook, featuring Suzy's favourite recipies, is available. People who are interested should contact Mun Flint. Currently, the cost is £12.50 plus postage and packing. All proceeds go to the Suzy Oakes Trust for Mill Road.

Description: A sort of savoury pancake mix or custard made with eggs, strained through a fine sieve or colander into hot fat. As it hits the fat it breaks up into little pea-sized pieces. It may be made using consommé, which it most frequently appears in as a garnish, for the fluid. Alternatively it may be flavoured (and coloured) with other savoury items such as spinach, truffle or tomato to enhance the consommé with which it is served.
