Given up on 100BLW recipes :(

I was really excited when these recipes were initially put in a link on BnB but every single one I have tried has gone wrong. Is it me???

My falafels wouldn't stick together so the recipe said add a bit more oil, this just made them too wet. They ended up burned on the outside and still mush on the inside. (following my own instincts I would have added another egg and a good shake of flour but I didn't as I thought the recipe would know what it was doing.)

The vegetable bites seemed to be 99% cheese which all melted in the oven, oozed out of the bite shape and stuck in burned cheese puddles on my baking tray.

The veggie "muffins" were also insanely cheesy and did not resemble muffins at all. The grease from the cheese soaked through the muffin cases so that they disintegrated and where the cheese had caught in the oven the cases wouldn't come off at all so we were left eating little bits of paper with our "muffins".

Cant remember what else I tried but I have not had a success yet...

that's a shame. Is it the download booklet thing? I tried a couple, and didn't find them overly inspiring.

Totally recommend the BLW cookbook. We've eaten from it now every day for the last 9 months, and everything has been fab
