Yes, baked pastries are from Europe. The Spaniards call them empanadas, the english call them pasties.

Basically, though they're still worth making in what I'm told is the proper British fashion, namely just beef, onions, potatoes, and what you'd think is way the hell too much ground black pepper. The amount I'm told is correct is 2+ Tbsp black pepper for the filling for about 2 dozen pasties. I'm not brave enough to use quite that much though.

On a separate note, my own contribution to the thread now is this homemade mac and cheese:

It shows yellow in the picture due to lighting but it's actually white. Process was bechamel sauce with half and half instead of milk, add a 6oz block of Gruyere and a 6oz block of Muenster. Once that was all melted, I added some sauteed garlic, shallots, Prosciutto, and a can of fire-roasted tomatoes and a bit of cayenne pepper. I'm not sure what the noodles are called, but they're what I had in my cupboard. Next time I make it, I'm adding less tomato and more garlic and cayenne pepper.

Boyfriend decided to one-up my suggestion of "I'm tired, let's just have breakfast for dinner" with "let's fry some chicken and make some waffles", to which I replied "you can fry the chicken, I'll mix the waffle mix", because relationships are about compromise and fair division of duty. Turned out pretty good, especially the chicken-- we beat the poo poo out of some chicken thighs and they were super tender. Served it up with some spinach and some grits. Made a pretty good meal for a Wednesday night.

To be fair I think a majority of cultures in the world have some kind of spin on this which would be distinguishable only by the filling.

No you don't get to take the best American cuisine and declare it isn't American. :colbert:

Besides what could be more American than throwing native, French, and West African food cultures in a blender and seeing what happens?

There are similar dishes in many places. What we eat and call chicken pot pie I'm almost certain is a Pennsylvania Amish thing.

I could sure go for a Miller High Life...
I just got back from a week long Asian Boot Camp course at the CIA Hyde Park campus and I can't recommend these enough. It was a lot of fun going through the different regions and learning the spices, sauces and techniques that are unique to each one:

Garam Masala & Nut Masala from scratch for Lamb Korma


Mushroom & Cauliflower Curry, Lamb Korma, Yellow Rice and Spinach & Mung Dal


Hue Chicken Salad


Spicy, Thick Beef Curry


Beef Teriyaki


Aromatic Lamb Chops


Pearl Balls (Before & After)




There's a lot more we made as a whole but these were the ones I focused on. It was a 5-day course where each day was focused on a different region– Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Korean, Japanese and Chinese.

I splurged on a big-rear end all-clad pan and made some chicken. The latest SAVEUR had a recipe for chicken roasted with leeks and chanterelles and kale, which I thought sounded good.. This had kale and shiitakes and carrots and pearl onions. It was pretty great.

The week long boot camps aren't cheap (1.5k+) but they have courses as short as 1 or 2 days that are much more affordable. I took a 1 day Spanish course at the San Antonio CIA campus and had fun doing that too. Much lower and easier commitment, both time and money.

I made a pizza! Used pre made dough from my grocery store, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. Made sauce with San Marzano tomatoes, garlic and roasted red peppers (plus salt, pepper, etc), and topped with pepperoni and mozzarella pearls.

I followed the recipe from Smitten Kitchen.
https://smittenkitchen.com/2007/04/chicken-revisited-and-enlightened/

A note: when making the dough it ended up slightly too dry to gather together, so I had to add the tiniest bit of water. I mean tiny, I just ran my hands under the faucet and flicked the water at the dough and that was enough. Good luck!

Made Pajeon for the first time! I've made okonomiyaki before so this was similar only much easier and cheaper.







I should have cooked it a bit longer or used a bit less batter, but it still came out tasting amazing.

I loosely followed http://www.eatyourkimchi.com/how-to-make-pajeon/ recipe on how to make it as well as mental memory from countless youtube videos I've watched in the past.

Strongly suggest trying to make this since it's only 4 ingredients (aside from the dipping sauce which isn't really needed). It tastes similar to an onion ring if you haven't tried it before.
