My roast is tough, I turn it into carpaccio

By immersing it in a lukewarm vegetable broth, it is rehydrated and the crust softened. Cut it into very thin slices and cover with a rather full-bodied sauce: pepper & shallots, blue cheese or Espelette pepper. We decorate aromatic herbs before serving with a crisp and juicy salad.

My chicken is chewy: I make a delicious mince

Just fray the meat and place a layer of mashed potatoes at the bottom of a dish, then a layer of meat, then another layer of mashed potatoes. Grated cheese is parsed and baked for 15 minutes at 180 ° C (th.6). It's good and melting.

My vegetables are disintegrating? I puree them

Still warm, they are crushed with a fork, we add a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of cumin, curry or nutmeg. A delight.

My jam is too taken: long live fruit!

The jam is spread thickly in a dish covered with cling film (to prevent it sticking to the bottom). When the preparation is very cold, it is cut into squares, and finally, these are rolled in the crystal sugar.

I forgot my oven-baked yogurt cake, it's dry!

We have several catch-up options ...

1 - I make cookies . The recipe: crumble the biscuit or pass it to the blender. Then, for 150 g of cake crumbs, stir in: 50 g soft butter, 1 egg, 1 tbsp. to s. Nutella, ½ sachet of baking powder and some crushed hazelnuts. Knead quickly, until you get a kind of coarse sanded dough. Give it the shape of a pudding, film and reserve 30 min cool. Cut the cookies in the pudding and bake for 15 minutes at 200 ° C (th 6/7).

2 - I turn it into express tiramisu . Cut the missed cake into thin slices to place in the bottom of glasses. We sprinkle coffee, sprinkled with chocolate chips. And above, we put 1-2 cuill. to s. of mascarpone. It is finalized by sprinkling with bitter cocoa.

3 - I use it as a base • For a crumble , with your fingertips, mix 300 g cake crumbled with 100 g soft butter to distribute on red fruits (frozen) and zou, 15 min in the oven at 200 ° C (th 6/7). • For a cheesecake . The cake is finely mixed, which is mixed with 80 g of melted butter. We cup in the bottom of a hinged mold, put it in the fridge for 30 min then pour over the cheesecake cream, and bake for 45 min at 150 ° C (tea 5). • In verrines, the crumbled cake is spread in the bottom of glasses, in thick layer but without packing. We add two scoops of ice cream, some whipped cream or a coulis.

My lemon cake burnt, I customize it

With the knife, remove the burned part and equalize the surface. To mask any burnt taste, soak it with a light rum-flavored syrup and decorate it. With a topping: melted chocolate sprinkled with coconut. Or icing: in a bowl, mix 100 g icing sugar with lemon juice, until you get a thick cream. We cover the cake, and it is sprinkled with colored confetti, chocolate vermicelli or grated lemon rind.

Plan B : hide your lack of delicious gourmet bites. The burned parts removed, we cut the cake in big cubes. In a bowl, mix 2 eggs, 20 g of sugar and 20 cl of milk. Soak the cubes in this mixture, then fry with a little butter. Serve sprinkled with cinnamon with carpaccio of pears or caramelized bananas.

My cake is raplapla: I inflate it

Just add a garnish ... cut the cake in half in the thickness and garnish with a thick layer of chantilly scented with jam (apricots, oranges ...) or marbled with a little spread or decorated with cherries with syrup. We finish the decor with a little whipped cream and chocolate chips (like a black forest).

My chocolate mousse did not take: it turns into a delicious fondant

Pour the mousse into a buttered dish, sprinkle with almond flour and bake 7-8 min at 180 ° C (tea 6). To be tasted again.
