But as for other high-style recipes, meh. The only celebrity whose recipes work for me are Rachael Ray's. Hardly high-style. And even her recipes I have to adapt.
See, you understand recipes have to be adapted.
This was a chocolate molten cake with 2 Tablespoons of flour so it’s the beaten eggs that give it a “rise” of sorts. Easy to make at home and seems to be the trending cake these days. Flat or fluffy doesn’t matter as long as it tastes good.
Yeah, I thought it maybe it wasn’t supposed to be as sweet as a sponge cake but after looking around at the Kraft, Betty Crocker and Food Network sites, they use about 1.5 cups of sugar. So, waaaay more sugar than Jean-Georges’ little quarter cup of regular sugar.
Since I’m asking the chef to be honest, I went back and calculated my ingredient cost which honestly came out to $5 and change as there’s costs in pantry items, garlic and herbs came from the garden, homemade broth from boiling down a chicken carcass and chicken wings from the freezer which are always cut off whole chickens and frozen for hot wings later (because store bought raw wings are ridiculously expensive).
