Ideas in Food has started a new series of posts called "Just Before the Bin" as way to catalogue recipes that didn't quite work. The first is a, A Greek Salad? which was a Greek salad dessert. From the picture it looks good and sounds interesting, but I guess it wasn't great. I like the idea behind this feature a lot: it's important to share and build on failures as well as successes. Not everything we cook turns out fabulous, and it's nice to see even the pros admit that.
