I made a "virtual" Doner Kebab simulation that makes you a Doner while you are waiting in line. There is only one catch: the chef is TURKISH SHREK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy2lQug7928

This was so lovely to watch, Anna from Ukraine's borscht recipe:

Homemaker ProTip
If you need to thaw something quickly, put it on a cooling rack, even a simple short one for cookies
I wish I learned that much earlier. It's remarkably fast

My husband cooked us a hearty meat stew, just the right food in this cold wintery weather. 😋😋

I realized after the fact that I could at least photograph the final result. I also added recipe checklist info.

I have finally put the membrillo/quince paste into the oven. 😂 This is the longest recipe ever. I have been stirring it every five to ten minutes for three hours. After about two hours of other steps. #membrillo #quince #quincepaste #cooking








This was so good. The dinner of champions, in my opinion! #Food #Cooking#Photography #Chili dogs #Fediverse

@DrFerrous It is! I'm a big fan of chutneys. This fall I made a smoky green tomato chutney and a hot/sweet zucchini/summer squash chutney. The zucchini was fabulous! I'll be making that every year. https://moorlandseater.com/hot-spicy-courgette-chutney/
The tomato was pretty good but not as zingy as the zucchini recipe so I might mash the two recipes up together, similar to what I did to develop my cranberry chutney.

#RandomThoughts
Do you ever wonder how far back in time certain food recipes go? For instance, how far back in time did people scramble eggs?
I suppose you might infer when people started eating eggs from the earliest evidence of chicken farming, but is there really any way to deduce if they poached, hard boiled, or scrambled their eggs?
Is there a #fediverse / #ActivityPub instance that focuses on recipes?

@hikingdude Here’s a loaf, now halfway gone. My husband had eaten a bunch of the nuts I’d purchased, so I rounded out the one cup of pecans needed for the recipe, with almonds. Also was unexpectedly low on raisins (can’t find currants here), so I added cranberries. The loaf is to be sliced very thin as a cocktail bread, “the perfect accompaniment to cheese or smoked salmon.” We topped it with Brie. DE-LISH!

Needed something quick for lunch today, so it’s smokey carrot stew over rice with a little smoked gouda to reinforce the campfire goodness. #cooking

This Friday night is for baking bread. What I’ve got here are three loaves of Salt Crusted Current Rye Bread, from Patrick O’Connell’s “The Inn at Little Washington Cookbook.” Highly recommended! The Inn is the only Michelin ⭐️⭐️⭐️ restaurant in the Washington DC area, and it’s actually nearly 2 hours away in tiny Washington, VA, pop. 86 (2020).

One of my favorite things to eat is my wife's "Lemon Feta & Chicken Meatball & Spinach" soup.
It has soft feta cheese in the chicken meatballs, oats as a thickener, a dash of lemon & healthy spoonful of turmeric in the soup making it a rich yellow.
This is pretty much the recipe although she's made her own adjustments.
Delicious in a large coffee mug. Perfect for a cold winter day!

#NoteToSelf
Tumeric is great for humans, powder or root. For surgery recovery, anti-carcinogen, anti-inflammatory, Alzheimers, Osteoarthritis, Lupus, Diabetes, Endothelial function and many other beneficial effects.
Even small pinches of ground black pepper greatly increases bio availability of the active curcumin in turmeric. 2000% boost etc.
Most dishes you can add half a teaspoon of tumeric and a pinch/grind of black pepper without messing up the flavour profile. #Cooking #Food
After five successive days of five to 10 mile sprints on my bike, I felt I’d earned some bacon and asparagus yakisoba for lunch today. #cooking

Need a favor.
Someone I love has high blood pressure and really should go on a lower-salt diet.
Does anyone have good recipes that actually taste good, are easy to make, and are low in sodium? I'm researching online but it's hard to tell which actually taste good and which don't.
Please boost if you can 🙏
#Volunteering at the food shelf in Burlington #Vermont I acquired some faulty cucumbers that couldn't be distributed, so I improvised some fridge pickles that turned out yummy. Cider vinegar, maple syrup, dry minced garlic, and smoked sea salt. You will not be disappointed. #Cooking


Anyone got a quick-and-easy recipe that will use up 4-5 cups of milk? I forgot to take into account that my partner would not be making coffees at home when I did the grocery order last week.
Preferably vegetarian, and preferably cooking/baking not using it fresh as it is just a day past it's expiry and probably fine but not at it's best.


One of the things I’ve managed to brute force learn: my favorite pastas are carbonara and aglio olio styles. I have made thousands of them over the years, learned many of the different tricks, and am now reasonably certain I make both well enough that, unless I go to Rome or something, I find little reason to buy.
Of course I had to eat a lot of not great (to me) pasta for the first, like, 100 plates.
I figure if I learned these well I can make any pasta, and it’s been true!
Butternut squash #cooking tip:
I just made some Thai butternut soup. The butternut was harder to peel than usual. I went down and got my blowtorch and played the flame over the skin, and that loosened it up Real Nice™
(I probably could have also pluncged it in boiling water, eh?)
Got the highest praise for a meal I cooked today: someone said it ‘looked so good it looks like anime food’
Making a fancy shepherd's pie recipe tonight that I really like.
Normal shepherd's pie is kind of bland and often weirdly runny on the bottom and dry on top, but this one is fantastic - sweet potato top and italian sausage base.
I recommend doubling the recipe so you can freeze some for later or have lots of leftovers for the week.
Do not boil the vegetables like the recipe says. Roast them and then mash. And it's fine to use all sweet potatoes if you want (I usually do).
I think it's better if you do half sweet and half hot Italian sausage. It's easy to make vegetarian by swapping in vegetarian Italian sausages.
Am I the only one who takes the “refrigerate after opening” labels on hot sauce and peanut butter as suggestions rather than requirements? #cooking
It’s this kind of #cooking day 😅.
Cut myself enough that i could see my pulse from the blood gushing out 😆.

I accidentally sliced the lid while removing the outer wrap and it started sparking and burst into flames immediately when I started the microwave. Best damn kimchi noodle experience of my entire life.

As Lucas Sin will say ‘there aren’t really any salads in Chinese food’ (there aren’t: also watch his videos on Food52 on YouTube, best way to learn intro to Chinese cooking).
But the Sichuanese have appetizers they call 凉拌 (cold prep) that are somewhat salad-like. Veg ones are mostly potato or beancurd and different types of tofu. Nonveg types are mostly beef slices and cold chicken.
I’ve grown to really like them, and now make them at home.
Around 15 years ago, I spent two years in the Middle East, and the food of that region blew me away. Fresh, flavorful, so much variety. Very different from how it is sometimes presented elsewhere.
In the Bay Area, Mazra and Lokma are a excellent representation of how great that food can be. (Go to Lokma for a Turkish brunch)
On YouTube, my fave channels are Refika’s Kitchen and Middle Eats.
Mennonite cranberry sauce* muffins
This is dedicated to @SunnJax for all his delicious looking baked goods. His cranberry coconut loaf inspired me to make this recipe. But I turned it into muffins bc everyone in my house is so lazy-pants, they wouldn’t bother slicing for themselves so a loaf would just go bad on the counter.
*a side dish like applesauce, not a condiment
1/n My vegan squash-pear soup is a success. Even I exclaimed "Oh, my god" on my first taste.
*Edit: Recipe in next post.
I don't know who will need this today... but you never know.
This is pretty much identical to making corn tortillas, except it uses vegetable oil.

Welp, bought a Butterball turkey since I waited too long and it's all I could lay hands on at the right size. Ugh. Can't even brine the thing without risking oversalting, since they pre-treat the bird.
I can still spatchcock it, rub it with a mix of baking soda and maybe like...some salt? A little? And then dry it out in the fridge prior to smoking it.
It's a shiny new blog post called: A Simple Thanksgiving
This is what happens when you smoke a joint before spatchcocking your chicken.
We’ll see how it goes. (It’s supposed to be done along the backbone but I plunged the knife into its breast bone and realized as I was making the fatal flaw but I had to continue at that point.)
It’s brined well and that should make it tasty anyhow. #food #cooking
#TIL that the word 'cocktail' comes from the practice of making a horse for sale look more lively by shoving a piece of ginger up its butt. At the time, mixed drinks weren't as much of a thing except to cure hangovers. A hangover cure included bitters and other spices. "That'll put a cock in your tail." #drinks #cooking #mixology #etymology
Pesto pro-tip: blend the cheese, garlic, pine nuts and olive oil to start, at high speed. Add the basil leaves and right before serving, blend at low speed, this will ensure the basil isn’t damaged more than it needs to be. A few second at high speed at the end and you’ll have bright green pesto!
I was going to cook tonight, but I realized that one of the cooking instruments that I wanted to use hasn't been washed by the dishwasher yet.
:headache:
So the plan is now to eat something else and run the dishwasher right after supper.
"Why don't you wash it by hand?"
🤬 Don't you dare ask me to wash my dishes by hand!
My favorite cooking method is steaming. It’s so easy and versatile and it is also one of the key pillars of the food I cook the most, Teochew (Chiu Chow) and Cantonese food.
