I found that, as she said, with my first bite of a warm one, there was the slightest hint of "something" although it thankfully didn't scream "spinach!!" to me.Īfter letting it cool as suggested I started on a new brownie. And if you're expecting a typical luscious brownie with crispy top and moist chewy centre, you may be disappointed. It was ratherĬhocolately and no matter how hard I tried, had no spinach taste at all.Īfter baking, I found that they didn't rise a great deal at all and whilst my baking pan was almost exactly 8inches (20cms) by 8inches (20cms) as specified, the brownies were a little flat. I remained skeptical until I tasted the final raw batter before it was about to be put into the oven. Plain spinach in a brownie is even less so. I love spinach and cheese but plain spinach is not appealing at all. It became even higher when pureeing the spinach. In this recipe, there's hardly any, just 2 large egg whites and 2 tablespoons of butter so my skepticism was high. The odd thing about brownies is that they have a lot of eggs, butter and chocolate to help keep them moist. Her audience's reaction too was similar in nature with a lot of head nodding so I knew I In this case, perhaps because the recipes are low fat and healthy, she was literally wolfing the food down throughout the whole show accompanying her degustation with amorous groans of pleasure. I've noticed that whenever Oprah does a food show, she tries the food but doesn't really go for it preferring to sample little bits rather than indulge. Not that I'm not interested in Hollywood or literary gossip mind you, I am of course being an avid "trash mag" connoisseur, but my stomach beckons a little more.Īfter seeing Jessica on Oprah, I was intrigued by the recipes. Then the night before I toss them in the fridge or on the counter to thaw.Now I know that there is a huge debate raging here about copyright and Jessica Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious book and Missy Lapine's Sneaky Chef book and whilst its interesting, I'm more interested in the recipes than the controversy. Then I throw those in a big gallon size (which I can reuse a million times). You can batch cook them and have for months! I use cheap sandwich baggies to individually wrap muffins, cookies, slices of bread, etc. Chips)Īll of these recipes freeze great too.
