Nevertheless, he competently prepared all the rest of the ingredients and even sliced and removed the fat from the pancetta slices, so credit has to be given where it's due.

Sam's First Carbonara
Guess what people? Things are progressing really fast at le Bistro Sam. He has cooked not one, but two dishes since I last posted online, and I am struggling to find the time to keep the posts updated with his progress! Hence it will just be a quick entry for Sam's creation two weeks ago, a simple, but beautiful courgette carbonara, once more รก la Jamie. Although this dish sounds simple enough, it did involve Sam bracing the sensitive subject of eggs (he hasn't ever had a fried or scrambled egg, and winced at an eggy bread and butter pudding recently), once it was explained to him that separating the eggs didn't involve putting them into two separate rooms, he bravely created and consumed the delicious eggy sauce. Albeit, without the grated parmesan, which I added to my dish later.

Update! Since cooking this dish again with a little bit of Parmesan added, Sam has admitted that the dish tastes better with actually cheese in, as the recipe states! A breakthrough at last!
