I was finishing a jar of extremely hot peppers (7 pot primos) that I had fermenting on Thanksgiving day. I made a hot sauce with them and cantaloupe. I had them in a pan at a low simmer to meld the flavors. The problem was the steam coming off was potent as hell. It filled the house when everyone was arriving and coughing from...
Turned out amazing. Followed this recipe but swapped the ground ginger for fresh ginger. https://i.imgur.com/oTgSeIN.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/roxrP9W.jpg...
We want to break out of this cycle of ordering delivery but at the same time, cooking everyday has been a challenge. We also have been trying to develop some sort of routine where we meal prep on the weekends but we live in an apartment with a really small kitchen so cooking and storing food for 5 days doesn’t seem doable....
So I’m pivoting away from tech, which makes money but I find incredibly soul sucking, into service. There’s a super delicious, slightly upscale ramen joint right next to my apartment building. I saw they posted something on poached looking for line cooks. I took in my resume and told the guy my story and he offered me a...
As my daughter is lactose intolerant I started to make cashew based ice cream. Now, we only eat homemade and I think it tastes better than any store bought. I still try to improve, and was wondering if there are any homemade ice cream makers here?
This year I have lots of jalapenos. Now I want to experiment a little bit. I want to make a hot green sauce with different herbs. A list of herbs I want to use: basil, salad burnet, parsley, cress, chives, borage, sorrel, chervil. Any ideas how to do this? Should I ferment the herbs in vacuum bags seperated from the chillis?...
I finally was able to find leeks at the grocery store for a reasonable price, since nearly every store near me has them in the “organic super food” section at $5 a stalk....
I'll start: pesto as a bagel topping.
Step 1: Add a little bit of oil to taste....
I have a tiny fridge so I need something I can put in my chest freezer and microwave portions of it to put in a thermos. I’m hoping for minimal prep work, though I have a Vitamix if that helps. I already eat the same thing every day, that I buy from work for 6 dollars. Not ideal. I’m thinking I can bring the soup and some...
So essentially I want to buy one pan, I don’t want to care about what utensils I use in it (metal, plastic, or wood), or what I cook in it, and I want to clean it easily by just putting some soap on it, using the rough side of a sponge and drying it off and tossing it back in the cupboard....
Hi What are your favourite cooking youtubers? on the other hand do you have some youtubers you despise or don’t understand the appeal of? I’ll be first:...

I've been making the same three bean chilli and lentil and chickpea dahl for years now and I'm trying to expand my repertoire for midweek meals....
I love cooking, and I cook every day for me and my wife (home office since 2008 helps there), and I love hearing about new things. I have the book “The Science of Cooking” which was fascinating.
You dumped out the water ten minutes ago. The pot is cooled off, and empty. It only had whole eggs in it, still in the shells. Now tell me, do you wash that pot? Get out the sponge and the soap and scrub it like usual? Or do you give it a quick rinse and slam it in the drying rack? No judgement here, only curiosity.

Let’s say I decide to go to a nice restaurant for a meal. The dish comes out, and I ask for a salt shaker before I even taste it (I never have, btw). That is normally considered an insult to the chef or you are pegged as a neanderthal diner....
Hello, bees! I like playing around in the kitchen, but I feel like I really have no idea what I’m doing with the fundamentals. I’m enjoying the learn-from-experience process, but am looking for something to supplement. I recently started reading / listening to Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat (by Samin Nosrat). I’m liking it so far,...
Today I made crêpes for breakfast like I usually do…...
Green onions are actually ok for her to eat.
I always cook for myself alone which means I’m used to cooking just one portion, or 2 portions which I end up eating in one sitting anyway. I usually improvise my meals and my brain just seems hardwired to measure quantities for a single portion meal. Does anyone have any tips for scailing your cooking up to cook for groups?
So, I’m obsessed with curry, it’s like half of what I eat and I love it, never get tired of it. Used to not eat vegetarian/vegan food at all due to just growing up like that....
