True to her word, Julie Cummings is no cook.
The recipe Cummings shared with Cuisine readers last week — well, it doesn’t work.
The calls started coming in on Wednesday, from readers wondering where they’d gone wrong in trying Cummings’ Taste-tempting Pecan Bars. They’d followed the directions in the paper — but the finished product ... wasn’t.
Finished, that is.
One woman caller said she had cooked the bars at the temperature listed for the specified time, but they were not gooey and delicious.
They were just gooey.
As in not baked enough.
So she put them back in the oven for another 10 minutes.
And then another 10.
And another.
But it was all for naught.
Cummings felt responsible, so she vowed to make the “mouth-watering dessert” over the weekend so we could reprint the recipe correctly.
But no.
“I just couldn’t make it work,” Cummings said on Monday, with a helpless laugh. “I couldn’t get them done.
“I burned them, actually,” she said.
We told her we’d let out readers know not to try that recipe.
“But I have another one!” she said enthusiastically.
We told her we’d pass.
