I
used the Hairy Dieters Cookbook to make another tasty healthy meal.
This one was quite a troublesome recipe to follow particularly
relating to memory difficulties.
First,
I got all of my timings completely wrong. There's never an indication
in this book of how long anything is going to take. Apparently Jamie
Oliver's recipe books do. I might switch. And 75g of peas in giant
pie is hardly worth putting in at all. Weird measurements. Mum and
Dad got here on time- my pie did not.
They
helped me polish off the recipe, my mum- the experienced baker-
describing it as “a load of faff” and “a weird way of doing
things”. There would have been simpler ways of doing it, according
to her. I started cooking way before 6, but didn't finish until 7:41.
Mum's kneading techniques were invaluable. I'd have given up and not
used enough flour without her. These kind of things weren't clear in
the recipe.
It
was really tasty, though, with the Worcester sauce and pastry
bringing huge bursts of flavour.
