No coming back

Things that actually went wrong over 20 years in a kitchen.

• Pile the topping on too early or too thick and the sugar can melt and run.

You can fix this

If it hasn't burned or stuck to the pan, it can still be fixed.

• Dough can only be fixed before it goes in the oven — a little more flour if it is slack, a little more water if it is stiff. Once baked, nothing can be changed.
