Floyd's India

[Claire]

Oh, I love Floyd, period, and have followed him for years.

I read recently that he has been in hospital for treatment. But no details were given in the article.

He used to be great... but he went off the boil a few years ago, and he is now one of the few chefs whose new series on TV are not a 'must see' for me.

Yakuta's tilapia recipe is very close to one I used to make kabobs once (with chicken breast). Be careful about leaving meat in yogurt for longer than she specifies. Many of us are used to rubs and marinades that you can leave overnight. It won't hurt you, but yogurt (at least the good stuff) is alive and will literally eat your chicken (I'm not sure it has the same effect with fish) and leave you with just a mush. when yogurt tenderizes, it really does tenderize. So don't try to use it over-night.
