Right, that's it. Nigella, it's over. I'm breaking up with you. I thought I loved you for several years because of your supremely wonderful caramel croissant pudding. I felt very bad for you recently, when your privacy was grossly invaded by the media and your husband turned out to be altogether quite ungentlemanly. But Nigella, three of your recipes have been absolute flops in the past few weeks, even though I loyally followed them to the letter. So I have decided to stop trying your recipes. I'm taking all my books by you to the second-hand shop. My kitchen shelf is very small, and it's just not worth it. I'm so sorry. I really do still like you as a person.
This macaroni and cheese recipe looked tempting. It really did. But it tasted like a bland, stodgy quiche full of macaroni. Even the pinch of nutmeg did little to improve the taste. Baby B pushed hers around her plate and requested more broccoli so she could fill up on something else. I suppose the most pleasant by-product of this failed meal was that my child ate more broccoli. Hmmmm.
Adding another recipe writer to my list of people whose recipes don't work...Martha Stewart, Bobby Flay, I'm looking at you...
