I recently initiated a "Throw Down", as coined by chef Booby Flay; and in fun, challenged fellow Food Network Community members to consider making retro recipes from the 70's. The gauntlet was dropped, and we agreed that we would attempt soufflés in place of aspics, which were also the trend. However two of our finest, Susie and Ava, agreed to also include jelly molds. I opted to start with a simple cheese soufflé, and as the picture above shows, I was pleasantly surprised with the end result. I even got the seal of approval from my husband ,who initially said he would not go near a dish "with all those eggs and cheese". It turned out light as a cloud and delicious. To accomplish this dish, I did go back for a refresher course, and was expertly guided by Julia Child herself, via her phenomenal PBS videos. So, I hope you can forgive my digression from healthy recipes, just for a little while, as I reminisce and have some fun. If you too are ready for a "Throw Down", drop a line with your suggestions at Anna's Table.
