Description

I always am awe struck with the term deconstructing a dish as you have to be a genius to do so . As I know I have nothing to do with being a genius nor these high end dishes will not be appreciated in the table at home . I never attempt to do such stuff in my kitchen  . But watching chef Heston Blumenthal in the telly having so much fun with his deconstructed version of food . I shock myself and made up my mind to do some thing in a small way at least . Well being inspired is important but getting to practise the inspiration is the way to do things and better your self isn’t it . Having such thoughts in mind still didn’t get the nervousness out of me . The guilt in me with the comfort zone that I created for myself was the obstacle to be broken here. I just put aside this guilt in me , cheating myself . Whiling my time away watching the telly as usual , I get to see chef Rachel Allen do an easy dessert with peaches that looked fantastic and was so very much like an egg in appearance . I hastily transcribed the recipe from the show on the telly to my stained hand written recipe note  book. Gave this pudding a try when my daughter and son – in – law were home on a holiday . Every one were like ” why are you serving eggs after dinner ” ? I just smiled and asked them to taste . The first mouth full , every one had raised eye brows and loved it to bits . They sure did like the trick played on them about the deconstructing part . So my quest on taking a hand in my kitchen playing with food like chef Heston Blumenthal was done through chef Rachel Allen’s simple recipe . The inspiration drawn from one chef and accomplished through another chef . Wired but done any ways .
