Watching a popular TV cookery show where contestants were
struggling to get a mountain of egg plants and zucchini prepped and
sliced for 150 meals, reminded me how much it helps to have the right
kitchen gadget for the job in hand, if anyone had given them a mandoline
slicer the job would have been done in minutes.
As it was they had no chance and the judges stepped in to help - with one hour to go and the lamb cutlets sitting there completely untouched it was always going to end badly, the 150 guests were happy enough, hungry but quite merry with all the pre-dinner drinks they'd consumed while they waited!
