Continued fiddling

  Yesterday I used the example of a chicken curry as a place to add whatever you fancy. As hilarious a suggestion as I thought that was, it may not have been super helpful, especially as you may be looking for a way to build your confidence. So on a slightly more helpful note, let's try something simple as a sensible starting point.

  If this feels like a daunting task then I've got some hilarious news for you, baby, you're doing it already! Any time you've added salt and pepper to a dish or covered your chips with vinegar or ketchup, you're tweaking. Any time you added fruit, honey or jam to a bowl of yoghurt, you're adjusting. Whenever you added sprinkles to the top of your cappuccino or chopped nuts and chocolate sauce to a bowl of ice cream, you're glorifying. And if you made a sandwich or garnished a slice of toast!...Wow! And the best part is you did it with so much confidence, you didn't even notice. 

  I don't care if you don't believe me because the truth is there's absolutely no difference in the process. You have a dish in front of you that's not quite right and without thinking you reach for a little something that transforms it to just the way you want it. It really is as simple as that. And with that little gem of wisdom as your starting point, you're going to start working your magic.

  We're going to start with hummus. There's a pretty good chance that you're not one of the three people on the planet who actually don't like hummus so this should be easy. You'll have noticed the vast range of hummus varieties available, things like garlic, lemon or caramelised onion flavour. Someone was just thinking of how they could improve their hummus so they started adding things to it. If you want to build your confidence, you do the same.

   And take my advice from yesterday; don't add your mystery ingredient to the whole pot of hummus, just add a little to a little and have a taste. If you like what you taste, then you can add a lot more so you have a whole pot of new flavour hummus or try adding different ingredients so you can invent loads of new flavours. See how this works? Good, off you go.
