Kitchen Flops

Likely delicious, less than photogenic

Have you had a recipe come out, well, unsightly? Or maybe downright embarrassing? Make the best of it by sending us photos and stories about those baking and cooking flops that were so bad, they’re good. If you can share the recipe and an example of what it was supposed to look like, we’d appreciate that, too. We will pay $50 for each photo or story published in our December 2021 issue.
