Ok so at the risk of sounding bizarre because i'm going in back in time, I thought i'd mention that I bought a recipe book in the sales. I wanted to collect scraps of recipe's and keep notes of the journey with my cooking. I call it a journey because I can't seem to just cook something from a recipe. In fact everytime I do that, they're not as good, so I've come to realise that the process is like a well fitted glove, it needs a bit of tailoring. Not that i've ever own tailored gloves... I just thought that sounded wise, and you know what I mean.
I'm starting to ramble now... but the point is, I kept some notes as I started the cooking so i'm going to include a couple of those recipes. Basically i'd probably just have kept up with that food diary, if my handwriting wasn't so bad!
Now for a dinner party I threw for some friends, I decided to do a choco brownie. My friend who suggested I follow the recipe from Jamie Oliver 15, actually pretends that it's her own secret recipe, which is funny. Now unintentionally I tweaked the recipe, because I didn't have enough full fat butter... ok here goes...

what I did was use this recipe but instead of 250g of unsalted butter, i Used lighter Lurpak butter and I then found 100g of lurpak unsalted in the fridge and added that too. It turned out like a spectacular gooey dessert. I took some to work, which went down really well and I also used a circular powder pot as a cutter (i disinfected it) and it turned out pretty snazzy. I plated it up with a little river of single cream around it and fresh berries on top.
Oh and I didn't put in the cherries or nuts as it suggested.
