Recipe of the month: Sourdough Bread

Tallyrand Introduction

Ice Castle created by TallyrandEver wondered why, no matter how faithfully you follow a recipe it doesn't work out as it should or come out just like the photo? Well let me blow the lid . . . some chefs will deliberately leave something out, not emphasise the importance of something or just "tweak" the real recipe so you will not be as successful as they are.

Well welcome to 'Tallyrand's Living Cuisine', where everything is produced with tender loving care and you in mind. Whether you are a home cook, a 'foodie' or a professional chef. Every so often I will be featuring a new recipe and tips on cooking a dish, the produce used or just cooking in general. All recipes have been tried and tested by me over my twenty-five plus years as a professional chef worldwide. To find out more about me pay a visit to my website

While the recipes should be followed as closely as possible (the smaller the amounts prepared the greater the potential for disaster from little mistakes), I firmly believe in these quotes from the 'masters', so please feel free to adjust the seasoning or flavouring ingredients:

"Cookery is not chemistry. It is an art.
It requires instinct and taste, not exact measurements"

X.Marcel Boulestin

"A recipe no matter how well composed or researched
is no substitute for imagination, creativity and flair"

George Auguste Escoffier
