Souffles

Soufflés are still the most spectacular and appreciated of desserts. I suspect that this is because domestic cooks are afraid of them. I empathise. When I cook them I always have a feeling of foreboding, and yet they are really terribly simple. It is just that if you have a disaster it is difficult to retrieve the situation. Exciting eh? It is important to remember that if the egg whites are overbeaten they lose strength.
