I bought Madeleine's book in Sainsburys for £10.00 after reading a review about it in Simply Worthing and Adur magazine...
Yesterday I tried making cauliflower pizza as it was one of the easiest recipes...
Weird as it may seem, I hadn't ever bought or eaten cauliflower before. I struggled to understand how I was supposed to seperate the cauliflower from the surrounding leaves and threw it accross the kitchen in frustration.
Composure regained, I blended the battered cauliflower as instructed.
Have you ever blended cauliflower? Try it, It smells, really, really bad.
Before I had even got to the second paragraph of the recipe, I knew that I was probably going to be making a call to Papa Johns about an hour later, but I plodded on.
I didn't end up with a dough as the recipe suggested I should, but that could have been due to the fact that I didn't measure anything as I don't have any weighing scales and plus I didn't want to use too much quinoa flour as it's really expensive.
When I took my 'pizza' out if the oven, instead of this...
I ended up with this...
Totally the same, right...?
I had one bite and then it accidentally fell into the bin. I don't think a dog would have eaten it.
But I am not a giver upper and I decided to turn my attention to balls-superfood chocolate balls!
As there was no cooking involved, I was pretty optimistic, and I was right to be!
They are supposed to look like that before you wonder, and they taste really yum. I even put peppermint extract in some of them because -who doesn't love minty chocolate balls?
I am aware that making a couple of things from a cookery book does not equate to me being a kitchen domestic goddess, but maybe I can glow for a couple of days a week.
Tonight I will be making orange duck with charted chicory...just kidding, I'm going to Mc Donald's.
