I
love to cook. This is a fact known in my family, they also know that I
don't always follow recipes to the tee. If I have run out of an
ingredient then I will subsitute something else that is similar.
Sometimes this works out great, other times.... not so great. The other day I
made a Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake and I ended up adding lemon curd and
making up a base off the fly. It turned out brilliant! Everyone loved
it. It has taken me years to get cakes right, as you need to be exact
with them. Where once, my cakes looked and smelt nice but tastied funky -
now they taste, look and smell fantastic. All trial and error. Once,
when I had just started to bake I accidently put a plastic cake tin in
the oven...... let me just say it took me HOURS to get the melted
plastic off the shelf. What have some of your mistakes been and have any
of them actually turned out to NOT be mistakes? Now it seems my
daughter has inhertited my taste buds. Some of the baby food mixtures I
make for her are crazy, but she loves them. Tell us some of your
experiences in the kitchen and do your family appriecate the changes you
make in your recipes.
