souffle

The november challenge was hosted by Dave and Linda from Monkeyshines in the Kitchen chose Soufflés as our November 2010 Daring Cooks’ Challenge! Dave and Linda provided two of their own delicious recipes plus a sinfully decadent chocolate soufflé recipe adapted from Gordon Ramsay’s recipe found at the BBC Good Food website.


The November challenge for daring cooks was a souffle - accent on the e. In an amazing twist of fate, we actually did three different souffle's (accent on the e) this month.
















The first was done in a large souffle dish. We found out later, like Carla on top chef, that we actually curdled the egg whites by beating them too much. Consequently, the souffle did not rise as expected.

















After trying to serve the souffle from the large souffle dish, we realized the presentation was horrible, and decided henceforth we would use individual souffle dishes (my wife has always been a fan of these, and we have been collecting them for years. I am ecstatic that we have actually now used them for the purpose they were intended for!)

Next we tried a rockforte souffle, and knowing our downfall from our first foray, were able to correct our massacre of the eggwhites.

















this one was money! Great for breakfast.
