It’s often said that cooking is an art, while baking is a science. But in both of these cases, it doesn’t mean that you can add chaotic things into the mix and think that everything will magically work out for you. If you’re relying on luck instead of logic or the recipe, you’re going to have a bad time.

‘I Didn’t Have Eggs’ is a fascinating and funny subreddit that shares negative reviews by people who cannot follow recipes and then complain that the dish is bad. Very often, they substitute essential ingredients for wildly different ones or choose cheaper products instead of high-quality ones. Scroll down to confirm that following even simple recipes is an insurmountable challenge for some amateur chefs.

Retired Chef here ; recipes are guidelines. Follow them, and, within reason, the dish will turn out similar to what the original is supposed to be. Change ingredients, cooking times / heat, amounts of produce and throw common sense out of the window, it will pretty much always end in disaster, although, I still cook a chocolate fondant brownie recipe that I seriously fcked up but turned out to be absolutely spectacular !!

As a kid I substituted beetroot for parsnips in a stew. Both root veggies, right? Stew actually tasted pretty good as long as you ignored the pink colour.

This reminds me of the woman that substituted kale for butter (or something like that) in a cake recipe and complained on the manufacturer's website that "their" cake was dry.

    When it comes to following recipes, the best advice that anyone can give is to read through the entire thing thoroughly. More than once, if possible! That way, you can avoid a ton of mistakes because you’ll know what to expect. You’ll know what specific ingredients you’ll need.

    You’ll know what tools you should have available in your kitchen. And you’ll know the general time frame that your awesome cooking or baking marvel is going to require.

I'm an ex Chef and have had many, many ridiculous requests / demands over the years, most of which we gleefully ignored and served as per our original recipe - obvs, the serious ones (nut / gluten / fish allergies etc) we tweaked accordingly but the daft ones we just carried on as usual and never had a fatality, despite being told that Kiwi fruit / dates / butter etc was a killer ..... I f*****g hated yuppies, still do, thankfully I don't have to make a living cooking for the pretentious bastards any more.

    They just don't know how to cook. There are other ways to set a tart that is vegan (corn starch, agar agar, tapioca flour) but banana is NOT one of them. Banana acts as a fat substitute. If you're going to take on a specialty diet then you need to learn what things actually do in food; or stick to specifically writen recipes.

    There are recipes where you can easily substitute eggs with bananas, but that doesn't mean it will work for every recipe. If you wanna take the risk of just trying to see whether this recipe will work with bananas too: fine, but don't write a negative review.

    When you’re familiar with the recipe, you can prepare in advance. You can buy all the ingredients that you’re missing at home instead of having to rely on substitutions or rushing to the local store while you’re in the middle of cooking.

    Not only that, but you can do a lot of the prep work in advance to save you some time.

    Depending on what is being called for (chopping, dicing, grinding) you may he able to do it by hand with a knife and elbow grease, or use a blender. I recently got my first food processor and it dies speed up prep time, but I was still able to make practically everything without one. People cooked before the invention of electric appliances.

    This is why looking up substitutions before making them is wise. For instance, I made a stirfry not too long back for my family and realized I did not have soy sauce, but looked up a substitute because we were unable to get to the grocery store that day. Worcestershire sauce works just fine in a case like that. However, it’s not something we’d do regularly. We really only make substitutions in something we’re making if we’re truly out of something we need or have to keep food allergies and sensitivities in mind.

    The content shared by the members of the subreddit is great for a few laughs. And it’s proof that some folks will go to amazing lengths to blame everyone and anyone for their mistakes but themselves. Humility and the ability to take responsibility for one’s (in)actions are a huge part of being a mature grownup.

    They’re also useful skills if you aim to grow as a professional in any field. If you only ever try to dodge any and all blame, you only end up slowing your own learning progress.

    Fun fact: In ancient Greek and Latin, the same word could be used specifically for apples or more generally for any similar food. (The French word for potato translates literally to "earth apple!") They could've translated the Jewish word into "fruit," but chose instead some mad word play. "Malus" means apple, and "Malice" means a desire to harm. The words sound the same.

    It honestly might not be their fault. A LOT of fake Saffron is sold. And “Spanish” saffron is pretty much worthless and useless. If you get Iranian or Indian saffron, you can use like two single grains mixed with a little water and get dark orange results. Spanish saffron isn’t really real saffron so it might yellow your rice a little but it will take a heaping spoonful and still have zero flavor.

    You can indeed substitute oil or egg with applesause for vegan/healthy baking, but that usually changes the texture too, and amounts don't match. It's easier to just search for a recipe that includes applesauce already and not just randomly switch ingredients.

    The type of content that gets shared on ‘I Didn’t Have Eggs’ can vary quite a bit. Probably the most well-known and common format is folks complaining about recipes after having made significant alterations that ended up ruining the entire dish. Other posts include reviews that are unhelpful or comically irrelevant, as well as reviews where someone severely misunderstood what’s required of them.

    Here's the story I'm making up in my head. The reviewer went on Google to search for a creamed corn recipe, but they made an unfortunate typo and searched for "crema con" (or something like that). Google tried to be helpful and returned this result. I'm also assuming the page has the word "con" (Spanish for "with") somewhere in the text.

    However, reviews where somebody alters the recipe due to personal taste don’t actually belong on this subreddit. What’s more, if the chef isn’t complaining about the recipe or the recipe itself remains largely intact, there’s not much humor to be found.

    These types of posts don’t quite fit the idea behind the group, so they might end up getting pruned. But it’s very likely that the internet will never run out of bad recipe reviewers so long as common sense continues to be so rare.

    The moderators running the group actually have a fondness for satire as well. If a bad recipe review is obviously satirical in nature, you can post it on specific days. Namely—Satire Saturdays.

    In the meantime, all redditors are encouraged to never interact with the people whose reviews get posted on the subreddit. This helps avoid a lot of the potential emotional fallout if someone recognizes that it’s their review being poked fun at.

    I liked one of the other comments on the same recipe (apple cake): "A giant deer stole my first attempt and ate it all at our picnic, despite being yelled at, pots clanging etc, so I’m assuming it’s good! Attempt number 2 to be made tomorrow to assuage the disappointed ones!!" And yes, they gave it 5 stars.

    Rhubarb is the worst! You have to add so much sugar to make it palatable, so at our last place, we ripped it out to make room for foods we will actually eat.

    Looks like the recipe calls for egg whites and not simply eggs so perhaps that's why they put the measurement in grams. Also maybe the reviewer does not know how to effectively separate egg whites so they ended up using a lot more eggs to get to that amount.

    This is a UK / US English usage issue, not a failure to follow the recipe. In Britain, Coffee Cake is coffee-flavoured. In the USA, it is eaten WITH coffee. Both sides tend to be startled when they find this out.

    The American coffee cake evolved from Gugelhupf, brought over by German and Viennese immigrants. If done right, it is amazing. I have never heard of coffee flavoured cake being referred to as ‘coffee’ cake so now I have learned something.
