Are You Really a Master with Pasta? |

How good is your cooking?
*Cava is Spanish; Champagne is French; To be called Champagne it has to be a sparkling wine made in a specific province of north east France called Champagne. Cava is nowhere near the price of French champagne, but it is made in the same way and can be of just as good quality.

Now! Are you really a master with pasta?
Do your souffles keep their good shape?
Are you getting the hang of a perfect meringue?
And know three different fillings for crepes?
So - do you really entice with your rice?
Know a Russet from Worcester Permain?
Does your Strawberry Surprise win you a first prize?
And is Cava the same as Champagne?
Aha! Is your mousse designed to seduce?
Do your sponge cakes just struggle to rise?
Was your undercooked stew just a bit hard to chew?
Whilst your strudels brought tears to the eyes?
Well - did your pastry lose all of its puff?
Has your beef steak been cooked until tough?
Do you let out a scream, when you can’t whip the cream?
Phew! On this subject this is quite enough!

Don't realy get it why some people claim they "cannot cook". Just follow the instructions in the cookbook and nothing can go wrong . Allthough I did have my blunders when I first went to live on my own and invited my friends over 
Nice one. Yet only three different fillings for crepes Probably wouldn't be able to tell champagne from cider, but on the other hand, I do know what jellyfish tastes like  | To Fledermaus
Written by Josie (2496 comments posted) 24th October 2007 | | Thanks for your comments. If you are trying to impress the girls with your cooking, here's a recipe that can't go wrong. Cook taglietelle for 10 minutes in boiling water. Then add in another pan a small container of double cream, and very slowly heat. Add chopped salmon to this. When the taglietelle has finished boiling, mix the two together. This is a ten minute dinner to impress. You can have salad on the side or following (just to keep you healthy). You can also use cooked chopped mushrooms with the salmon - and this is nice too. There you are - if this doesn't work, with the champagne, let me know. |
