Soufflés are not just for special occasions. And don’t be intimidated by their reputation… they are really quite easy to make.
Follow me (and the twins!) in this short video as I make the Ham Soufflé recipe in the Dairy Diary 2011, page 107.
Delicious and very morish. I promise it will be an instant favourite.
