I have a question for you. Should food blogs publish recipe fails?
Because that’s what’s been happening to me, recipes failing on me. What. Is. Going. On?!?!
I blame my failures on my being sick. Whatever it was I got, I couldn’t get rid of! But I finally feel better today after a change in medication. Hopefully, it’ll be smooth sailing from now on.
So, anyway, one of the failed recipes involved this dough right here.
Care to guess what that is?
Last night, however, I finally made something that turned out great. This.
Do you know what that is? (Hint: It’s not naan or chapati)
The photos of the finished dish turned out pretty good, too. I’ll share the recipe very soon. Promise!
For now, enjoy all these fantastic recipes/ideas:
“Oh, my… doughnuts with no refined sugar? And baked? I can’t wait to try these…” — Zeba
“Tomorrow is Chinese New year, guys! Let’s feast on Chinese food, like this delicious dish. Sounds healthy, too.” — Angie
“It IS possible to make bottom round steaks tender and tasty, guys! They’re not going to replace filet mignon, of course, but at a fraction of the price, they could make for a satisfying dinner. Just follow Diann’s sous vide instructions. The gravy sounds fantastic, too!” — Angie
“This smoothie truly packs a punch and looks so beautiful. Being the person that makes a smoothie every day this totally inspired me to try out new ingredients like baobab powder and pistachios.” — Zeba

No idea what’s in the pan…. looks amazing though! Can’t wait to find out…
Thanks for the feature and (as always) for hosting xx
Soon, Kate, soon ? And you’re welcome!
Valentine’s Day cookies? Pita bread? I am glad to hear you are feeling better, thank you for hosting another great FF, Angie!
No, cookies were not involved. Pita bread is kinda close for the second picture, even though it didn’t originally start out as that. It was supposed to be Chinese steamed bun that I decided to throw on the hot pan instead.
Back in the early days, I did post recipe fails. Nowadays, I only post successes, although I do mention that if such and such an ingredient is available, that dish may be even better. Or I’ll use the fail as a stepping off point to describe my next and better (at least in my eyes – or taste buds) resolution. I’m actually working on one of those now, and won’t post that until I have a good success to hand with a certain given technique – not many people cook with home grown heritage cockerels using that technique, for instance, so I don’t have much to Google after out there.
It’s probably not as fun to document recipe fails, but maybe I can include a section of what NOT to do along with the successes. People might find that useful.
Thank you for hosting a GREAT party. I’m looking forward to visiting links over the next few days. I hope you’re having a WONDERFUL week.
Now that it’s Friday, I’m having a great time ? Thanks for participating in the fiesta!
I would love to see fails from a blogger! I’ve had so many lately that it would make me feel better to see someone else’s. 🙂
Maybe I can include my fails along with the successes. I think that might be useful.
Hi guys!! I’m excited to be hosting this week! Everything looks marvelous! It’s always such a tough decision, so make sure to add your links if you want to be in the features!

Thanks for hosting this week, Mollie. Lots of love to you & Angie. x
Thanks for cohosting, Mollie! Don’t know what I’d do without you. I had quite a busy weekend. Your excitement is so contagious; now I feel like visiting everyone!
Speaking of recipe fails…
I was too excited to post a recipe that I haven’t tried baking yet – it’s just that I was a little confident that it would turn out amazing and already drafted a post. I even took the effort to video the whole process, but the texture was a little disappointing. The taste was amazing minus the missing espresso kick, but would you post a recipe that you are not completely satisfied with even if it’s delicious?? No, yes? Well, at least when I make it again and become a success, I have the drafted post. 😀
Thanks for hosting, Angie. Have an amazing Fiesta Friday & weekend. <3
I know it is so hard sometimes when so much effort goes in, but I’m with you. If I don’t think the final dish is as good as it can be, even if it’s delish as it but I think it can be even better, it’s back to the drawing board!! I figure everyone can put out delicious recipes, but I want to build a reputation of having outstanding ones with their own special touches.
I know you feel the same because everything on your site is so drool-worthy!
Most of the recipes, if not all, that I’ve published have gone thru a minimum of 2/3 trials, because not only do they have to work, they have to be consistent. If they don’t make the cut, they don’t make it on the blog. This blog is not only for the readers but for me as well, to refer to in the future.
Thanks for hosting a great party. Hope your weekend is amazing!
You’re welcome! ?
Is your success a pita of some sort? It’s hard when a recipe fails, but it might still be good to share what not to do once you get success. Thanks for hosting! I brought by some Sesame Crusted Tuna. It’s easier than it looks. 🙂
Believe or not, it started as Chinese steamed bun dough. My steamer is too small to steam more than 2/3 buns, so I got impatient and decided to throw it on a heated pan ?
