A couple of weeks ago (maybe more) when the contestants made Sticky Date Pudding with butterscotch sauce and almond praline, the Mister commented that it didn't seem that hard to make and that you just needed to follow the recipe. I downloaded the recipe from their website so he could have a go, which is what he did last night.
He didn't do too badly for someone that doesn't do any cooking at all, although there were a lot of comments mainly along the lines of "that tastes beautiful" (a comment that is often heard on the show). Admittedly, I weighed the ingredients for him, but he did everything else, including the praline, with minimal advice from me. We had some last night, it was very sweet, the praline crackled and crunched and was probably the best part.
wow. good on the mister! thats looks 'beautiful'. Im a mastrechef dag too! cant stop watching it! i love the fact that despite being a reality tv show, its full of creativity along with the competition
ReplyDeleteHello Pip
ReplyDeleteWell done, Mister! I have a man who likes to cook on the weekends and we love MasterChef too! Last night we had Beercan Chicken (forgot to take a photo, bugger!) with honey baby carrots, baked potatoes and fresh green beans. Tonight it is fish cakes (thai flavours) with salad. Gus finds it very relaxing to cook. I must steer him in the direction of a 'sweets' cookbook too!
You Turkish Delight looks scrummy too. I love Fry's Turkish Delight.
Cheers - Joolz
Well we know who will be a contestant next year! Looks awesome. Nothing can beat a good sticky date
ReplyDeleteOooo one of my favourites. I must try that recipe, I just use the one on the date pack.
ReplyDeleteGreat show isn't it.
