But you can, trust us. Follow Abigail Donnelly’s fail-proof methods and you will banish that sinking-soufflé feeling, discover the secret to crisp-skinned fish, featherlight scones and nail the tricky flavour balance in a Thai curry paste.
A CLASSIC SOUFFLÉ
The soufflé has a rep for being fiddly – undercook it and you’ll have a soupy mess, overcook it and it’ll collapse. But despite the significant fear factor, making one that’s firm on the outside, moist and fluffy on the inside is a lot easier than you think. See page 114 for extra tips – and never forget the most critical element: timing. A soufflé must be served the minute it comes out of the oven.
