Oh my god, could this book have anymore recipes in it???? I'm down to the nitty gritty and it is PAINFUL. I'm likening this to when I ran the 10K Mud Run in 30+ degree weather with not a spec of shade or a drop of water for the first 5 K. Painful. And you wonder when the eff you will ever see the finish line but you just keep running because you know you'll get there eventually. Right now, I want to burn Nigella Express. I will finish it, but I'm feeling terribly masochistic at the moment. Why do I do these things to myself?
The Mont Blanc is easy enough to make - IF you can buy pre-made meringues. I made them myself which adds an hour of unwanted cooking time in the kitch. And to be perfectly honest eating a glass full of chocolate and whip cream is not what I wanted to do tonight but someone has to eat it and Husband refused. I tried to convince him to eat this by saying I was making it for Valentines Day (which was just a happy mistake) but he must know me too well because he wasn't buying what I was selling. He said he's rather have something else for dessert. But back to the making of. IF you have store bought meringues this will take you all of 5 minutes to make. Chop some chocolate, whip the cream and do some layering. It's pretty straight forward. The taste...well...it's different. It's not too sweet but there's something about it that I just couldn't figure out. I actually think the average person would really like this dessert but I am not your average person. I'm not into desserts like the average person. I'd drown my cat for a bag of chips, but I can pass up the most decadent of desserts with out so much of the bat of an eyelash. Chocolate just is not my crack. So I can take or leave this one. But if you're into chocolate and cream then yeah give it a shot. I think at this point I'm just jaded and I'm not going to give anything a good review anymore...oh the bitterness.
