Is there a particular dish or technique you can't get right?

Do you struggle to make light pastry or perhaps your soufflé is a flop. Does your home-made mayonnaise split? Is your béchamel sauce full of lumps. Tell us about your culinary Achillee's heel!

My béchamel sauce was always full of lumps so much so that I ceased trying to make it.

Then along came Delia Smith!

I think we all must be brilliant cooks here as no-one seems to have any problem dishes or techniques!

Gluten free bread. I can do cakes, scones and flatbed but a loaf always turns out like a brick.

I've never attempted a soufflé. I've cracked gluten free, vegan Bechamel it needs cooking a bit longer otherwise it is a bit grainy.
