5 Challenging Recipes (and How to Make Them!)
Today, we’re celebrating our Haute Hostess Girlfriend in the National Girlfriend Awards. While there are those of us who can burn frozen waffles in a toaster, the Haute Hostess Girlfriend is known for her carefully crafted and sinfully delicious culinary concoctions. But, then there are some dishes so complicated that even Betty Crocker could screw them up. Below, I’m bringing you five difficult recipes—send this post over to your Haute Hostess Girlfriend and extend the challenge, then tell us why SHE is your Haute Hostess Girlfriend in the National Girlfriend Awards.

In French, soufflé means to puff or blow up…and the perfect puffy top is exactly what’s so darn hard about this delicious but daunting dish. Alton Brown’s Cheese Souffle (on FoodNetwork.com) is rated at the “difficult” level for a reason—delectable ingredients like parmesan, butter, eggs, cheddar and more seem deceivingly easy…until you look at the directions! First off, you need a soufflé mold, and the instructions call for a lot of whisking and specific consistencies. If you can get everything just right, you’ll have an awesome savory dish to serve…so good luck!

I would love to try a souffle
my new favorite thing is cooking with the boyfriend! We both learn new recipes and techniques and enjoy a delish..cheaper meal together without going out. It’s just a struggle getting him to help clean but im working on it!
love them all!
mmmmm i would like some baked alaska right now!!
love cheese and pretzels
I went to culinary school (but dropped out, as it was no longer fun, and at that moment I realized its not a career for me. but I still love to cook) and in Saucier class I was out sick when they demo’d and practiced making hollandaise sauce. I never read the recipe before, and the next day was the test for that as well as a bunch of other sauces. I made it perfectly the first time. The Chefs were impressed. Heck, I was impressed. I can cook – no doubt about it. But just not a career.
Baked alaska aint that hard… Try Tiramisu.

I want to try the napoleon’s for sure!
I agree wityh Lesley…look difficult…or at least more time than they’re worth!

I like easy recipes. If it’s difficult I just save those dishes for when I eat out.
I love eggs benedict.
Napoleans are hard to eat, so not my favorite food.
angel food is always the toughest
souffle and eggs benedicts are two of my faves!
I’ve always wanted to master the french macarons! I’ve failed twice already.
