Where do you get your recipes, /ck/?
I recently started cooking for myself a few times a week instead of just buying frozen stuff for every meal, but I've basically just been scraping meme recipes off Facebook for a while. Shit gets really bland real fast.
What are some decent resources?
>>8557975
Fuck recipes. Every recipe is created by someone who used their imagination to create something. Experiment. Find what you like. Try new things. The only thing you need to learn is proper cooking techniques. What you put in your food is completely up to you.
>>8557991
I really like that sentiment, I won't lie, and that's my inevitable goal. But I gotta start somewhere man, and a recipe book wouldn't be a bad way to do that
>>8557991
As a beginner, try to learn more about cooking techniques, food prep, and classic combinations. The most famous and a well-regarded text is The Joy of Cooking. This has everything you'd need to know about cooking except for the most important thing: experience and practice.
Cooking is a hobby. Learn to enjoy it and cook meals that taste good to you. Experiment and remember what works.
Are you all ready to enjoy some Turkish food?
This is pide - their version of pizza, more or less. Inside is ground lamb, sausage, pastrami, and mozzarella.
I'll pass...
>>8557930
I could go for some etli ekmek
Turks are roach
Turkish food is crumbs on floor
Yeah now look at that, now that's the essence of flavor town.

I've wondered what a hotdog/gyro would be like.
My friend has a pet king crab that just molted and it made me wonder if you could use a molted shell from a lobster or crab to make stock. Would that be fucked up?
>>8557843
Yes. That's disgusting.
I doubt it'd work but I'd be interested to see what happens.
I doubt you would get much of anything from a molted shell. The flavor you get from the shells comes in large part for the remaining flesh and connective tissue adhering the flesh to the shell.
Worth a try I suppose, but don't expect much.
How should I flavour kefir?
I have Crohn's and I'm trying to drink it for the bacterial benefits, but it's pretty damn sour.
Besides just pouring white sugar into it... How can I make it more palatable?
I'm operating on the grounds that blending and straining fruit is way too much work for a regular basis.
>>8557820
If you're too fucking lazy to do what you should do, fuck off. If you won't do the required work, don't expect to get the same reward.
>>8557820
Why bother straining fruit? Just blend it and toss it in.
Remember that time we had that Kvass thread? Cool anons shared home recipes for slav prison beer.
Does anyone have any traditional recipes for root beer? And that means yeast, Alcohol, and most likely molasses or Cane Sugar. No artificial flavor bullshit.
What do you have?
Cool thread, please survive baby thread
Why can't I see any roots?
>>8557808
I am root

hi /ck/, help me navigate a quandary.
I've been cooking recreationally for 20 years. During that time i had some jobs in kitchens as a line cook here and there, and worked in college as a private chef for a wealthy family, but mostly just for fun. I hosted a supper club for a long time and put out some kick-ass food. I've put together a couple hundred thousand dollars of my own money and have some backers and I want to open my own place as a second career.
But, then I talked to my friend Steve. He owns a little "fine dining" restaurant bar and grille. Let's use the term "fine" loosely. its a tired menu with the hits from the 70's and 80's like prime rib and chicken with brown sauce and jalepeno poppers and all that crap. I struggle to even find anything on the menu i enjoy, but I go cuz Steve's a good friend and blah blah.
But the restaurant is PACKED every night Tuesday through Sunday.
When I told him I was thinking about opening up a place he looked at me like I was nuts. "i know you don't like the food, Anon. Neither do I. It's old and boring, but every time i try to knock something off the menu there's a revolt. I've become a slave to my customer base. I can't change it. I carry about $6k in ingredient cost for a single dinner service, and if i want to make a change, i wind up having to carry the stuff i dumped from the menu anyway, because the regulars will notice its missing and order it.
What would /ck/do if it were in Steve's shoes?
What would /ck/ do if it were in my shoes?
Restaurant "regulars" are really strange people.
Does anyone really go to the same restaurant more than maybe once a fortnight?
>>8557737
Maybe you should suck Steve's dick?
>>8557737
Bump. Good thread, anon.

Did you cream the butter and powdered sugar for long enough?

I have a sexual attraction to pasta, I'm getting a major in molecular biology and I'm in love with the structure and function of proteins.
How do I incorporate proteins in my pasta?
inb4 "ragu you fucktard"
>>8557557
After you've cooked your pasta, drop a couple of protein powder scoops on top and mix it all together. It tastes great I got the recipe from /fit/.
