I've gotten into a bad baking habit. I'll bake something. It will be delicious. I'll want to bake it again a few months later and I can't, for the life of me, remember what I did to make it taste so good. So it was with the DELICIOUS chard quiche with whole wheat crust I made last year which I just cannot recreate. Same with the original mini cheesecakes - so tasty the first time - the second time, not as good.
I've found that I'm not very good at following recipes exactly, and while I'm aware that baking is supposed to be an exact science, I've found that a little bit of improvisation - either for lack of the right ingredients, little patience for fine details, or just an urge to bend the rules - can make for a very tasty baked treat - and only rarely a complete disaster.
So here I will attempt to log some of my baking adventures - and hopefully create a reference for myself that I can use to recreate the winning desserts, and avoid the disastrous ones.
