First Post

Okay, so i really like this whole cooking thing. It's not exactly new to me...i mean, since high school i wanted to do something with it. This blog is just a little something for you to read and (hopefully) enjoy. If anything i hope that it will help you to try something new.






So everyone, for my first post i will share ... my first souffle....



if anyone has ever tried to make a souffle...it's not any toll house chocolate chip cookie recipe. First, the part where it says to, "Combine the egg yolks and warm water in the bowl of a standing mixer or large bowl and beat until frothy. Gradually add 2 tablespoons sugar, and continue beating until ribbons form, about 5 minutes" first of all, this is hard to judge. how am i supposed to tell when ribbons form in a stand mixer?



and second, have you ever tried to "gently fold" anything into something else? Gently folding foamy egg yolks into warm melted chocolate is very time consuming...and no matter what, the frothy egg yolks become...well...not so frothy anymore.

yeah, next time it will be better, but i didn't expect it to rise so, i suppose it's great for the first try... even if it did only rise a half inch

Also, the directions say, "Serve immediately"...this is because within ten minutes one of my souffles had completely deflated
