Sometimes you do it all right, and it is still wrong…
As you know, I’m not the perfect home cook…the Great British Bake Off wouldn’t want me, trust me! BUT I still try those recipes that everyone thinks of as iconic and difficult, because OMG why not? Life is short and I might be able to pull it off!
So, I tried chocolate soufflé.
It sort of worked.
But it sorta didn’t.
I used this recipe from Epicurious: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/chocolate-souffle-106173
The egg yolks and whites were warm – and I whipped the whites:
I didn’t open the oven, but it still came out a little flat.
It just goes to show you – in cooking, if you do everything perfectly you can still have a flop on your hands. Cooking is only part chemistry – the rest is alchemy and magic and luck.
Oh well, I’ll try it again and I’ll let you know how it comes out!
