A bit quicker than the US elections, the results are in.
I used a vegan chicken style stock and vegan spread, as specified. I followed everything exactly to the timings. She includes salt in the costings but never adds it and it shows. It is neither unctuous nor subtly powerful and it most certainly does not provide a provocative shroud for pasta. It most definitely would not sit on a hifalutin restaurant menu. (Even as a very long term vegan Frau I have eaten at a few of these but rest assured I do not have a house full of carefully collected
ethnic nicnacs).
What it actually was, once salt and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast was added, and served with some wilted greens with a bit of chilli flakes, was a pleasantly moreish dish of comfort food. If the description had been ‘I make this when I want to curl up under a blanket and eat something I don’t want to chew and is a nice carby comforting hit’ then I probably would have given her the benefit of the doubt. I’d still prefer a bowl of pasta and beans with olive oil, garlic, loads of salt and chilli flakes which is quicker, uses less fuel to cook and is equally comforting and similar in cost, but it’s not her worst. Her sludgy pic looks better than mine, sorry for the lack of filthy hands.

I wonder why she took sober out of her bio. Is she drinking again or now thinks that she doesn’t have a drinking problem? That does look like a bottle of wine in one of the photos.
It could be...or maybe she realised it was a bit wanky to have that in your bio AND make your own Kambucha. And pick and choose which parts of the programme and steps to implement. And not make much in the way of an attempt to help fellow alcoholics.

Nah that would involve self-awareness and taking on board what other people suggest, it can’t be that...

Yes, there was also Rachel Khoo's My Little Paris Kitchen. Tiny kitchen. Amazing food.

Yes and I seem to recall she was always pottering about with no shoes on, so her kitchen floor wasn’t akin to a glass recycling plant either.

The only thing she is mindful off is how many more sideboards is too many

* Her answer ":none"
Too right. And also the only thing she’s mindful off is her tip jar, her Patreons and getting her mug on the telly.

Looks lacking in colour and texture. A bit slimy and unappetising. I am certain it is not your cooking skills, you can only work with what you are given.

it was all of those things. It did taste better than it looked, especially with a bit of doctoring

Right, who is making something next?
