Thanks to the amazing Nigella Lawson and her programme Nigella Kitchen on BBC I have discovered a passion for cooking, I love her recipies, probably because she uses so much butter and chocolate and gorgeous delicious things, and I'm hoping that if I get fat because of it I will look like her but somehow I don't think so, not that she's fat but she has curves and I actually condsidered trying to GAIN weight to see if I could look like her.
The first thing I made was some brownies, actually I made them with my boyfriend... well I allowed him to stir the sugar while I mesured things out and mixed etc... When they were ready they were absoloutely divine, even though only 150g of milk choccy went in they were so luscious and perfect, it was like eating heaven.
Sadly, the second time I tried to make them for my grandmother but they had 10 minutes too long in the oven and while they were still nice they were juuuust a little too crunchy and dry so I was quite upset.
Tonight I have made her roast duck legs with potatoes, I have never done a roast before so I am very excited, though I will be annoyed if anything happens to it because it was so easy, you just put some duck legs in a pan skin side down with no oil or anything, chop some potatoes, turn the legs over and put the potatoes in the pan, still with no oil, salt, pepper, thym, and shove in the oven (200). I can't wait to see what it tastes like.
I have decided that another thing I want to make is Devil's food cake which looks fantastic, I don't know when yet but I will put a photo of the one she made on for you to drool over.
