What was your most epic cooking failure?

Mine was not long after I left home, I’d made a lovely beef stew but forgot to buy any potato’s for mash.

So in my trusty cupboard was Smash... all was good until I decided to put it on top of the stew like a shepherd’s pie top, not really thinking it through and returning to find it completely absorbed into the stew as it took in the liquid

.

The second meal I cooked for my partner. I was trying to impress him and cooking a chilli prawn risotto in a daft get up. The get up worked, we got distracted and came back to find the risotto clumped together and burnt at the base.

I tried to make scotch eggs when I was about 18. Didn't realise you had to boil the eggs and shell them before you cover them in sausagemeat

But at least his appetite was awakened in other ways

Hefty Hideaway

I adore cooking and baking but being me needless to say I've had some epic disasters. The best remembered is the vegan pineapple upside down cake I made for a fellow Fabber. It was upside down and looked the part. Somehow I'd made it hard and completely inedible in the middle. She forgave me after she stopped laughing at my forlorn expression.

Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe

Not me, but my ex-gf. She has plum trees and decided to make a plum crumble for me and her son. She put it in the oven and remembered it was there 6 hours later. It was cremated. She made another, which was done to perfection, so I wrote a Limerick about it:

Dear lady, you made us both glum

When we couldn't taste your pudding of plum

You made us both grumble

When you cremated the crumble

But second time lucky. Yum yum.

The best don’t get where they are without disasters. Vegan cakes are hard to do

That reminded me of my grandma, burnt everything

I once tried to grill a cauliflower cheese ready meal

End result; a grill full of molten white plastic and blobs of uncooked cauliflower cheese

I bought Chicken Tonight thinking there was chicken already in the jar, was fuming when I found out it was just sauce and I had to go back to buy the chicken separately.
