Invariably, I find a great recipe and follow it and my husband and I enjoy the result. But when I make the same dish again it doesn't taste as good. Last night it was the lamb and apricot curry from my favourite Indian cook book. I used the same ingredients and spices, followed the recipe to the last letter and it was... bland.
I know it's not that my expectations are too high. I love cooking and this has happened to me with food from all over the world, cakes, breads, soups... you name it. Is it just me or is anybody else afflicted with the Cook Again Curse?
