Not a favourite

 October 8th and a chapter headed "The baking sheet". 
Mr Slater says a baking sheet should last a lifetime. None of mine have, they always develop a kink and look disgustingly black. However reassuringly I am told this is quite normal  and that the patina that builds up on the surface is like "...a homemade non- stick coating". I shall stop throwing away my baking tins!!!
Two recipes today, one we loved and one - whilst we did eat it, neither if us enjoyed it enough to have again. 
The one we won't repeat is Warm aubergine tarts. These were made with a very rich pastry which I have to say was very short and good - the addition of two kinds of cheese giving it lots of flavour. The topping made with aubergine was OK but the two together was rather dry. 
The second recipe was divine - well if you' re a fig lover that is!
Grilled figs with Marsala. 
Couldn't be easier to make and the result - a heavenly desert.
