I ask because I attempted a recipe for vegan "meatballs" today. The base was uncooked red lentils, which raised an eyebrow. Shocker, they tasted like raw red lentils (spices and sauce notwithstanding). The recipe also called for baking soda, so they exploded a little in the tomato sauce due to the acidity. 2/10 looking for a different recipe.
I wouldn't say it's my worst, though. One time I tried to hard boil an egg in the microwave. With the shell still on.
What's a culinary project that didn't go your way?
The first time I tried to make crepes I was about 13, and doing it alone because I wanted to surprise my sister while she was doing exams. I followed a recipe online which told me to use olive oil in the pan, and I put in way too much so all I got were wet, oily tasting, mushy disasters. There was probably about as much oil as batter. I ended up calling my dad in tears about not being able to make pancakes and he taught me how to do it properly
