I don't think there is enough buffalo.

You're right, but I couldn't find buffalo mushrooms and "buffalo crust" sounds nasty.

I know risotto isn't supposed to be that thick, not sure what I did wrong, but it tasted good and looked nice.

Anytime I have had deep-dish pizza on Calgary it has been a disgusting grease-brick with cardboard crust, so I made my own.

Well, I finally did it. I have made the best pizza that I have ever tasted.

I've been cooking pizza twice a week for the last 12 weeks or so, doing tons of side by side taste tests for each main ingredient, trying different dough hydrations, rise times and temperatures, etc... While much more practice is needed to consistently kick out the same level of quality, I am very happy with results.

This pizza was:

3 day cold rise dough
Carmelina San Marzano tomatoes (salted and passed through a food mill)
Pecorino Romano grated finely
Fresh Mozzarella
Sprinkle of Ning Chi Super Hot chili oil
Hot Calabrese Salami

Warning: Pizza porn dump incoming


















Holy lord, how do you get the crust like that? Any tips? That looks amazeballs.

First ever attempt at nachos (not american), with pulled pork and homemade pickled chiles


It's not good looking food, but it'll kill your arteries good.

Lookin good!

I also made nachos:


Did a montery jack/sharp cheddar mornay sauce, sauteed some onions and garlic with some veggie ground round and black beans and spices, and then topped it with pico de gallo.

Hope I don't seem totally ignorant now, but what are the black and pink chips I see there? Looks really good I must say!

Thanks! I'm not sure whether the chips are just colored or actually different corn, they sell them in different colors at my local Safeway.

I'm in Calgary, you actually can't buy it retail here even though Alberta has a horse slaughterhouse or two, we export all our horse-meat to Quebec and Europe. A Czech lady I know managed to source some through a guy she knows for $10/kg. This particular piece is about 3kg (7lb). It has the texture of beef, but it has a pretty unique flavor. I've found it to be a bit tougher than beef, so I usually brine it for 24 hours before roasting. I really like it.

I made ricotta gnocchi with thyme, lemon zest, spinach, butter and parm. Next time I'm using a different pan to get more even browning. I love cast iron, but it has way too many hot spots.

Did you make the gnocchi or is that blue apron? :D

I made it. I used Gordon Ramsay's YouTube video to figure out what the dough should look like. The only gnocchi I've seen in local grocery stores are tiny little flavourless pellets.

It looks good and not like store bought. I haven't made gnocchi in a while simply because of the labor required (as far as I remember) but yours makes me want to make it again.

Thanks! The recipe I used wasn't too bad actually, just riced potato, ricotta, thyme, an egg and flour to make the dough. Active cooking time was probably 20-30 minutes.

Had a piece of hot smoked salmon (store bought, not pictured, sorry) and Chinese eggplant salad
(the "sauce" consists of soy sauce, sugar, black rice vinegar, chili-oil and water...and no, I didn't drink it in the end, it was there for dipping purposes only...also for dipping the salmon)
good stuff.



This is beautiful and you are crazy because I would have drank that sauce like immediately.

For content, I made brownies for a vegan friend (posted them in the vegan thread too) and they turned out tastier than most non-vegan ones I've ever had/made - who knew! They refused to come out of the tray neatly but were fluffy and fudgy in equal measure in the best way.




That is one sexy crumb. Recipe?

Punching down is pretty low on the humor totem pole.

Now that we've established that posting pictures of Asian food with chopsticks is "punching down", can you please provide a list of which cutlery is offensive and to which cultures so that I can be sure to not harm others with my internet food pictures? I own a knife that was handcrafted in Japan, on a scale of 1 to triggered how offensive is that? Here is a blurry picture of it:

Again, what was racist, you stupid, fragile, weirdos, was saying "you must include chopsticks with platings of Asian food". After a pretty innocuous rebuttal, a bunch of people threw a hissy fit over it, missing the point entirely, declaring the chopsticks themselves the problem, and then being smug about it, proving the post they got their panties in a twist over entirely correct.

I thought the gumbo as funerary offering was kind of funny though, because I'm a bad person.

Nah, in this post he just said he "forgot to add chopsticks to the presentation" of his "scallion oil noodles". He actually didn't even claim they were Asian at all.

I got this recipe from a heavily accented, hilarious Armenian woman that I work with. Watching her gesture as she described the process was probably as fun as eating the result.

Take a beef roast and pierce it a bunch with a fork all over. Cake it with kosher salt and leave in in the fridge for three days, draining liquid and adding more salt to ensure it stays caked.

Submerge the roast in cold water for three hours to leech out the salt, changing the water once or twice. Place the roast on a pad of paper towels, cover in more paper towels, place a weight on top of it (I used cast iron pans), this helps dry it thoroughly. Change the paper towels repeatedly until they're no longer getting wet.

Hang the beef up for three days. If you don't have a hook of some sort, you can use butchers twine. Apply spice paste in a thick layer (I'll add the recipe here for it tomorrow). Hang for at least three more days. Slice thinly.

It's a fairly easy recipe with great results, I'm going to experiment with curing meats more often.
