My girlfriend and I occasionally try to cook something we've never made before, ideally using ingredients we've never used before. This has led to some triumphs. This Saturday was not a triumph!
Neither of us really like gnocchi, so I don't know why we decided to make this. It was flavourless and wierdly textured. I think, next time, I'm going to ask our head chef for some advice in advance.
On the plus side, the mint and cream sauce was lovely. Also the Eton Mess (a recipe I did steal from our chef) was excellent.
I'm a bit hungry now, but the wine is helping and there's cheese and biscuits in the fridge...
It's a coalition between potato and pasta. It doesn't quite work. I can think of another coalition that won't work - porridge and cornflakes!
