turkalino, in [Discussion] How do you store/organize your recipes?

Haven’t tried it myself but I saw this on awesome-selfhosted and it looks pretty nice: docs.tandoor.dev

jemikwa, (edited )

Tandoor is good. A friend set up an instance with Authelia attached so my group of friends each gets a login. We add our fav recipes and can share them with each other.
It’s a little finicky with the ingredients entry, but it does make scaling recipes a lot better since it’ll do the calculations for you. You don’t need to know markdown to make the recipe pretty, it just works

rompe,

I’m hosting my own instance and I love it. Import from several recipe-sharing sites works very well. Import from Instagram would be great, but Meta tries to make this as hard as possible.

xtr0n, in [Discussion] How do you store/organize your recipes?

I’ve been using One Note. I had the same issues you had with paper and recipe cards and I happened to be using MS office a lot in general. It’s handy since I can use it from my phone or laptop and can share with family. I copy internet recipes to One Note since they can be available offline and since sometimes recipes on random sites disappear.

Converting to something I can self host would be cool.

I don’t think I’d ever use meal planning and shopping list features. It would be nice to have an easy way to generate nutrition info for my invented or modified recipes.

xtr0n,

Oh, and I do like flipping through cookbooks for ideas. When I see something I like in a cookbook, I use my phone to scan it into One Note.

It can be a little awkward flipping between recipes when I’m making multiple things from recipes at the same time. My setup is good enough but not great

Lauchs, in [Discussion] How do you store/organize your recipes?

I’m lazy and use the paprika app. It’s imperfect but does have a grocery list, downloads recipes and automatically removes the fluff and allows adding tags (so I have tags like slow cooker, vegetarian, chicken thighs etc.)

TheBananaKing, in [Discussion] How do you store/organize your recipes?

These days, just google docs.

If I see an interesting recipe online, I’ll rewrite it without all the fluff and discussion, in a standalone document I can have up on my phone while I cook.

If it’s deemed worthy, I stick it into the master document, called ‘how to make food’ - a document I have shared with my 17yo.

Hobart_the_GoKart,

Same. I copy and paste the recipe from the website and cut out any fluff.

I have a recipe folder on drive that’s further decided by meal type (dinner, breakfast, sides & snacks, desserts, etc.). The dinner folder (biggest) also has subfolders for meat types (chicken, pork, veg, etc.).

I usually have everything sorted by when I last opened it, to try and keep a fresh rotation. The recipe folder has a permanent link on our tablet that lives in the kitchen.

This works great, because I can share a recipe pretty quickly if I’m talking about it with someone. Also other family members can open the folder on the tablet and start or help with meal prep.

Redje, in [QUESTION] What's the most interesting thing you've eaten?

I have no idea where it comes from but here I go : A long time ago, we were invited at some German friends place (I am french) for dinner and they served us a weird unidentifiable “mud” that we did not thought much of.

Well I like to try new food so I dug in and wouldn’t you know it I still eat it today and everyone I made some for told me that it was amazingly good for what it is.

The recipe is simple : For a can of tune, you add a box of creamy cheese (I don’t know if there is a word in English, if you look for “Philadelphia” on the internet, you will find it) and some finely cut dried tomatoes. Be careful to strain everything (remove the water from the tuna, from the cheese and remove most of the oil of the tomatoes) and mix everything together. Salt, pepper and you are good to go. I recommend eating it with plain crackers as the preparation is already salty.

Unfortunately I don’t have the name as we did not understood what our friends told us and simply named it “carabistouille”

evasive_chimpanzee,

That box of creamy cheese is literally called “cream cheese”, at least in American English. Philadelphia is the most popular brand name.

thorbot,

Tuna, cream cheese, and chopped tomatoes. That sounds like tuna spread. I like to make mine with tuna, cream cheese, and chopped pickles. Great thing to spread on crackers.

TheGiantKorean,
@TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

That actually sounds quite tasty! One of those foods that tastes the opposite of how it looks. (Balut is very much like that)

wfh,

I call mine “rillettes de thon” or “rillettes de sardines” depending on which canned fish I put in them. Also, I love to twist them with chopped cilantro, chopped shallots and lime juice or smoked paprika (pimientón de la Vera).

EvacuateSoul, in [RECIPE] Deviled Egg Potato Salad

I would do the black pepper and paprika along the surface for prettiness.

canthidium,
@canthidium@lemmy.world avatar

Oh yes, I always scoop some into a bowl and then add a little more paprika and pepper on top.

XbSuper, in We're thinking about merging some of the cooking/food communities, want to get your input

Absolutely merge. I wish more communities would do this, it would make lemmy so much better.

wookiepedia, in It's getting to be soup season. What are your favorite soups?

Homemade Pho is my jam. Trash meat/bone cuts at the grocery store for less than $3/lb or salmon heads.

Just start with oil on saute in the instant pot and bloom out coriander, cinnamon, clove, star anise, and a LOT of black pepper. Toss in chopped onion or shallot, ginger, and lemon grass, add salt. Cook until browned, turn off the heat and toss in smashed garlic cloves, allowing carryover heat to bring out the fragrance. Add about 1/2 cup of water while still hot and use a WOODEN spoon to scrape the frond off the bottom of the cooking vessel. Do not skip this step.

Add your protein (chicken skeletons or smoked turkey wings also work great), then toss in a dash of soy and a few drops of fish sauce. Go easy with the fish sauce as it’s powerful joojoo and easy to overdo. Fill up the vessel to the top fill mark with water and cook on high pressure. In theory, it should require 38 minutes, but I go for an hour and twenty. Strain out the broth and pour over cooked rice noodle and add pho stuff to it.

rezz, in We're thinking about merging some of the cooking/food communities, want to get your input

I recently subscribed to all of them and I agree a merger would be best. I think sticky-redirects is the best course of action until splitting again to the original config, should Lemmy experience more growth in the food subs.

I think Cooking or Food make the most sense as defaults. I personally like Cooking better.

NPC,

Thank you for your comment.

mrspaz, in It's getting to be soup season. What are your favorite soups?

A good hearty borscht (the red variety). Serve with a sprinkle of fresh dill on top and a spoonful of sour cream dropped in.

  • fujiwood,

    Thanks for that insight and tips on making homemade masa!

    You’re right it does sound like a lot of work but I wouldn’t mind trying it at least once or making it in a few times a year. Both for the flavor but also for the knowledge and experience of the process.

    How long does it take for the corn to dry in the sun?

    While I have tried growing my own corn, it didn’t really work out that well. I honestly didn’t water them enough.

    You mention husked ears off the stalk, so if I were to buy corn in the husk would it be possible to dry those in the sun?

    No worries, thanks for your knowledge!

    CM400, in It's getting to be soup season. What are your favorite soups?

    Chicken and dumplings, or French onion with smoked Gruyère.

    caesaravgvstvs, in It's getting to be soup season. What are your favorite soups?

    Not a recipe, but I love putting some parmesan rind on my stock, it completes the flavor a bit. I just keep a jar with the rinds in the freezer for this purpose.

    And if you’re lactose intolerant, cheeses aged 12 months or more have no more lactose anymore

    metaStatic, in It's getting to be soup season. What are your favorite soups?

    Garbage soup.

    Throw all your food waste in the freezer and make a stock with it all at the end of the week.

    lvxferre,
    @lvxferre@lemmy.ml avatar

    That sounds a lot like my “mix-match” frittata and “mystery” croquettes.

    threeduck,
    @threeduck@aussie.zone avatar

    I did that once for a vege stock and it turned out horribly bitter. The advice regarding this is “garbage in, garbage out”.

    gac11,

    I mainly just save my onion, carrot, celery, and garlic scraps. It’s a safe combination. I often add these to chicken bones but it’s not necessary if you’re doing a vegetable centric soup

    Apothenon1, (edited ) in Tortilla help please

    For 12 corn tortillas:

    2 cups masa harina, 2 tsp vegetable oil, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 1/4 cup warm water

    Mix, and let hydrate for 5 minutes. Divide into 12 balls, and roll out or press. Keep those not being worked on covered to keep from drying out. Cook in a skillet over medium high.

    For 10 flour tortillas:

    2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/3 cup shortening or lard, 1 cup warm water

    Mix flour and salt, then cut in fat until pebbly. Mix in water slowly until dough holds together (you probably won’t need all of the water!). Divide into 10 balls, cover to keep from drying out, and let rest for at least 30 minutes. Flour a surface and rolling pin, and roll out into tortillas. Cook in a skillet over medium high.
