Have been watching Market Kitchen down here in Australia for ages and love it - but seeing Thomasina preparing this gorgeous guacamole was the highlight for me - her programme 'the wild gourmets' has just been shown here too and it was captivating! I shall definately visit her restaurant in London when I come to the UK in September - sincere thanks and congratulations - Babs86
