This weeks red-hot (literally) cooking tip - always, ALWAYS stop to look and read your ingredients before putting them in a sizzling frying pan. On the weekend I was enjoying some tequila shots during the evenings' epicurean efforts and getting rather carried away with it all, savouring the smells from the kitchen and the company of my lovely assistant.

While chatting away I reached out to the side to grab the olive oil and with a flourish poured a good couple of tablespoons into the pan. Before you could say "fuck me I've got no eyebrows!" there was a two-feet high wall of flames and a distinct odour of burnt hair and alcohol in the air.

I'd inadvertantly grabbed the wrong bottle and poured a healthy splash of tequila into the pan instead of the olive oil, and as we all know alcohol and heat don't mix. Right colour liquid, similar-enough looking labels, decidedly WRONG result...
