Don’t you think a recipe has no soul and you as a cook must bring soul to the recipe ? I don’t believe there are any hard and fast rules in cooking ! There is common sense and there are things you will pick up along the way ! And this particular recipe uses stewed apples which reminds me of my grandmothers house ages back, where my resident baby cousin was fed stewed apples. He hated it whereas I used to think it was the best thing in the world ! And having gotten off a “Zoom” call with the whole “jing bang” last night.. I got inspired to weave some comfort, soul and nostalgia into my breakfast food 😍!
