Never Ending Chestnut Saga

With the massive influx of chestnuts the other week things got a little out of control. personally the highlight was the tarts (2.0) the low point was throwing out a 2L bucket of puree that had turned sour. Not far from the bottom rung of the ladder was some shit chestnut chocolate cookies i made. I just dont know, I veered too far of course, yogurt was added and nowhere near enough sugar, they were just shit.

A slight variation on Nana's, this time I steamed the cakes in the combi oven after the bowls being badboybubby mummified in cling wrap. Best effort yet. Nana traditionally served hers with a lemon sauce here I chose the rhubarb in its place. The currents are just for show really ultimately the tasted way to tart but hey. Whatever At 16 bucks a throw. Whatever.
