Made it twice in a week to get it right. The first time I misread one step and it showed. The second time I set a timer for the part I always forget. It was worth being stubborn about.
Third time I have made this and I no longer look at the page. That is the highest compliment I can pay a recipe.
Made it at altitude, which changes everything, and it needed a good deal longer than stated. Worth mentioning for anybody else up in the mountains. The visual cues in the recipe are what saved it, because the timings were useless to me.
Started cooking properly six weeks ago and this is the first thing I have made that I would serve to somebody else.
