I make a traditional pesto and use it for all kinds of recipes. I adore this pesto for soups, pasta, veggies....

Served with oven roasted broccoli and demi-baguette toasted with garlic butter!...

Ingredients:...

So I’ve eaten everything from sardines and toast to balut. I have never really found foods I don’t enjoy, except for Indian food…and balut but that’s a whole other story....

Does asafoetida smell amazing to you? and if yes do you consider yourself someone with an accurate sense of smell (e.g. identify if someone needs dental work in a conversation, smell who someone has been hanging out with, identify spices and herbs used in a meal with high accuracy, identify the perfume someone wears etc)

So like the post says I will have about 30+ people coming over tomorrow. I want to cook this frozen pork shoulder in the slow cooker for pulled pork sandwiches. The thing is 13 pounds. How long and what temp? Also is it even possible?

I wasn’t ready to deal with Thanksgiving when we had the post a week ago, but now I am....

Hello, I know this is a bit random, but I have a question about the preparation of microwave sandwiches specifically the likes of white castle sliders and jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches I follow the instructions as well as I can, and yet it either ends up frozen in the middle, or really hot and yet cold. it’s strange really....

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.

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?

Step 1: Add a little bit of oil to taste....

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

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...

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....

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....

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...

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:...

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

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’ve always liked wine, especially red wine and as people who drink wine they enjoy it with food or without. Oftentimes, especially when it comes to red, the pairings often lean towards meat dishes. I don’t know if I’m an outlier, but I mostly eat vegetarian food and I still find red wine pairs pretty well, but I’d like...

I don’t like the taste of cooked raspberries, but I have a ton of raspberry plants. Here’s a few things I have tried this year:...

I just want to know before making such a post

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,...

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....
