I agree with you regarding the appeal of slow-cooked autumn food. This is a lovely braise, and, it's true, once you overlook its curdled effect you are in for a treat. We were fortunate enough to eat at the River Cafe several times when we lived in London. Happily I have a few of their cookbooks as a memento.
