>tfw you screw up cooking something and it tastes shitty or just really really bland but you still force yourself to eat it because it cost you money and effort

you can just deal with it. The nightmare starts in the same situation but if you have to serve it to other people and you don't have a backup plan.

it's okay cause you gained some skills, the more you cook the better you'll be. Or at least that's what I keep telling myself.

It wasn't all that bad but I know what to do different next time.

Isn't that the beauty if cooking? You eat your mistakes in shame but no one else need to know about it.

I made 35 cabbage rolls last week. Added way too much pepper, they were dry and gross. There's still some in the fridge

That is a very weird stroganoff. Like, the only ingredient it shares with the traditional version is onion type of weird.
Other than that, cumin seems out of place, but the dish should be great otherwise. What will you do different next time?

That really shouldn't happen if you are over 20 yrs of age.
Just fried two fish fillets that I forgot to season.

I'll cook the meat first, then take it out of the pan and cook the onions and mushrooms in the same pan. It will take a little longer because I won't be able to prepare the chicken while the rest is cooking, however the mushrooms while cook in the spices. Then readd the meat to the pan and add the chiken broth and cream.
Easy and yummi

Thinking of this, adding broth and cream, letting them reduce a bit and then adding chicken to finish would be better. It prevents overcooked chicken and concentrates flavor a bit more.

Depending on the quality / freshness and species of your mushrooms, you will need to cook them longer than onions for them to release all their water.
From the picture it looks like you used canned mushrooms. I don't recommend using that but then again I'm French and have all the fresh shrooms I could need, but if you really have to use that, they take even longer than fresh mushrooms to cook.
Same thing with the creme fraiche and broth, if you add liquids in order to make a sort of sauce, you need to reduce it. The picture looks watery as fuck which either means you undercooked it or put wayyy too much broth.
Don't forget black pepper to add a little twist.

ayyyyy, salut, tu veux que je te montre comment faire un stroganoff? :^))
Désolé, vu la coupe large des champignons j'ai cru que c'était de la boite. Ces trucs sont plein d'eau et ça prend du temps à évacuer.
Si t'as pas le temps, oublies le bouillon, déglace juste un coup au vin blanc pour prendre le jus et les épices et rajoute un peu de crème fraiche derrière en faisant réduire.
The thing is, Ramsay's a great chef and his videos are alright. However they seem to just be a tool to accompany his book. His videos never give any quantities or cooking time which can be misleading and having you end up with too much broth.
