Hey! I wasn’t too sure if this question belongs here or over in Technology but here we go....

So I know Halloween isn’t a day with a huge meal tradition like xmas or tday, but I’m having some dear friends stay with me that weekend and I would love to cook up something Halloweeny. So I’m curious, do any of you have any go-to meals/dishes for Halloween? No real requirements here, it can be outright spooky/gross or...

I had been craving nachos (my favorite food group!) for several weeks. Going out with my partner to get some has been challenging because of our hectic schedules lately so I decided on my free evening after work last Friday, I would get busy making my dreams come true....

I inherited my grandmothers dutch oven (center), it’s probably 70 years old now. Still cooks up a storm!...

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....

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...

“Of course beans count as a vegetable!” I said to my wife. We have this house rule that it’s okay to eat mac and cheese for dinner so long as you add a vegetable. If I may ‘spill the beans’, I’m obsessed with them. Each one is tastier than the last: garbanzo bean, black bean, kidney. The butter bean, which is just...

Is there a LLM/ChatGPT tuned to help with weekly meal planning that doesn’t suck? Why not?...

There have been some excellent soup recipes posted in this community in the last few days, I wanted to share this recent one from Foodwishes.

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 after some research I splurged for a Demeyere Proline 7-ply frying pan. Unfortunately, upon trying it with my induction stove it gave an error message saying that the pan was incompatible. My internet research tells me that it could be due to the copper core of the Demeyre causing a high current draw. Another reason could be...

So as I understand it, virgin olive oil is made from cold pressing olives....

My takeaways after watching the whole thing:...

Researchers have found that the enzyme polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in certain fruits like bananas can reduce the absorption of heart-healthy flavanols, especially when combined with flavanol-rich ingredients like berries. The study suggests choosing ingredients with low PPO activity, such as pineapple or oranges, when making...

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:...

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....
