A Hack?

Not a journalist, or a ride out on your horse but a “trick” apparently. This week has been so wet that I found myself watching daytime television more than I’d like to admit. One programme featured a well-known chef cooking on a rooftop in Provence who made some interesting dishes as well as visiting mushroom growers and wine makers. One of his dishes featured two “hacks”…apparently adding stock cubes to add extra flavour to a sauce is considered a culinary trick (Hmm…) Then to thicken the sauce he added slaked cornflour – isn’t that something we’ve been doing frequently? He went on to make the most unappetising omelette I’ve ever seen using three eggs, seasoning and no filling. It was still very runny when he started to eat it – I wonder if he finished it 😉
