If reviewers at other sites are randomly substituting ingredients and/or altering the amounts called for, it really makes me wonder how accurate their cooking techniques are!
Example, if I'd tried that Caramel-Pecan Black Bottom pie on my own off the BA site and had it bomb, I'd have probably thought it simply wasn't a good recipe, but because I got it here recommended by charlie, I knew I had to be doing something wrong. As it turned out, I was doing several things wrong when making the caramel so no wonder it didn't turn out right for me. |
