Before attracting the ire of the moral majority, I would like to stress that I advocate cheating in one arena only: the kitchen.

In all other testing situations – exams, tax returns, relationships and so on – fraudulent behaviour is to be frowned upon. Cheating, when it comes to cooking, is a situation where everybody wins.
If, like me, culinary creations are not your speciality, then save your guests the chore of having to perform an Oscar-winning show of appreciation as they slip a broken tooth into their napkin or surreptitiously feed the dog under the table. Cheat wherever possible. Leave nothing to skill. Isn't this what high-end supermarket ranges were created for?
