Hi all,

Na na na na na na,

I've already had an invite to go and meet the men concerned, not for a lesson, but to meet them. I will be going this week, hopefully, and I will report back on my findings. I would also be interested in lessons.

here we go then,

Blondie

Well  Blondie, I guess it makes sense for you to make some arrangements for us.
Could you ask about about six people having a lesson?
How much would it cost?
Would the proper chef be doing the demo?

Hi Mark J,

No he didn't say that the heat was the only reason that 100% clone cannot be be achieved, what he actually said was, things like the fierce heat etc prevent a 100% clone being produced at home,

hope this makes things a little clearer,

Blondie

Hi Blondie
? ? ? ? ? ? ? I got an email reply regarding a few of us going to a demo

Many thanks for getting in touch.

I will pass your query onto Mr. Haydor, the head chef, and get back to
you soon.

Kind regards,

Andy Holmes
(on behalf of Kushi Balti Restaurant)


If you can find out anything too, that would be great
At least we know now that it would be a proper chef doing it

I got this back on email

I've had a chat with Mr. Haydor about your request, and he reckons it
may be possible, depending on when you want to do it.

He says the best thing to do is to discuss it directly with him, by
giving him a call either at the restaurant  (he's
usually there from 6pm until late

I'm sure you'll have no problems, but if you do, please feel free to
drop me an email.

Kind regards, and thanks once again for your interest.

Andy Holmes


I will sort things out if you like
Anyone wanting to go please email me saying when you could go.
I would suggest a Sunday as it would be quiet at the restaurant.

email me at
peter.sheldon55@ntlworld.com

I got an email telling me more about the book directing me to this page
http://www.kushibalti.co.uk/bookpromotefaq.htm
Check it out, it's very promising!
This might really be "the" book

Hi Pete,

Did you have any luck with prices etc on a demo in Brum?

Hi Grimmo,

Excuse me for butting in on a question directed at someone else.  I have had an advance copy of a small part of the book to "beta test" for the writers. I have been to the restaurant, eaten there and met both the chef and his co-writer.

I made the base sauce and a chicken balti. On only the second attempt at the finished dish it tasted to myself and my partner exactly like the one that I had eaten in the restaurant.  I say that this book WILL guide you to produce baltis exactly as they taste at the kushi Balti House. I therefore suggest that lessons won't be needed,

Hope this helps,

Blondie
