I’m not a fan of substitutions. For example, you know those lil’ break-out boxes in those terrible women’s magazines you pick up to read on the plane sometimes? They kill me. ‘Want a handful of m & m’s? Substitute....a handful of sultanas. Want a slice of pepperoni pizza? Substitute ¼ of a piece of mountain bread with low fat cheese and a slice of lite ham. Profriterole? Granny smith apple. These are not substitutions, any more than a frozen banana put through the blender is ice cream.]]> https://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/07/tiny-baked-cheesecake-plus-rant/feed/ 15 https://www.corridorkitchen.com/2010/11/amaretti/ https://www.corridorkitchen.com/2010/11/amaretti/#comments Wed, 17 Nov 2010 20:45:00 +0000 http://localhost/wordpress/?p=19 I have a friend, let’s call her Ms. G, who is in the habit of whipping up amazing and intricate dishes on a regular basis. I’m always excited to be invited round for dinner and luckily, she doesn’t live far and invitations are frequent. Ms. G is adept at homemade ice cream, paella, bread made from scratch, risottos...the list goes on. I’m amazed at her patience at skill and it’s serendipitous that she’s an expert in all those dishes I would never dare attempt.]]> https://www.corridorkitchen.com/2010/11/amaretti/feed/ 4
