FOOD REVIEWS
I've decided to make an ongoing list of the foods I've tried with reviews and tips for making them nicer.
Green = Yummy
Orange = OK
Red = Blurgh
Diet Pizza - I really enjoyed this, it was my first meal back to exante after 3 years so it was a welcome change from the old soups, shakes, bars plan. I definitely made the base too thick as it was kind of soggy in the middle. I even turned half way to try and cook it a bit better and it was still not right. In future I want to make it nice and thin and hopefully it will crisp up a bit better. The greaseproof paper worked a dream and it slid right off the tray.
Lemon and Raspberry Shake - Creamy, filling, but I don't like flavours this sharp.
Strawberry and banana Shake - Much more to my taste but still not my fave. Always make shakes with a blender, or a shaker at least, stirring isn't enough!
Mushroom Soup - Made it up with 200ml of water and in the blender. It was soooo creamy and yummy. Added onion flavour, salt and pepper. The salt was what made this for me otherwise maybe a bit too sickly with the creaminess.
Carbonara - Carbs by name, but not by nature this time, can't believe they have my on of my all time fave foods on Exante! Made it with cold water by accident so heated on the stove, took quite a while to get it creamy but worth the wait. Flavoured with garlic granules. YUM!
Lemon and Yoghurt Bar - Not keen at all. Texture was fine, yoghurt was a welcome addition but far, far too lemony for my mouth.
(This list is updated as I go and re-posted later in the diary)
