I made spaghetti sauce from scratch for the first time. With shameful store-bought garlic bread.



I also made black raspberry cobbler.



Not all cooking is easy but a lot of good, lovely healthy cooking is :shobon:

This is great and certainly how I started myself. Next step: shakshuka. That poo poo owns. Google Guardian Perfect Shakshuka and basically do that recipe at the end but roast the peppers first.

(I love the Guardian Perfect 'whatever' recipe series because they go through a lot of other recipes and their reasons as to how they got to their final one)

Cloudberries are amazing. They grow mostly in subarctic areas and look like yellow/orange raspberries with bigger 'cells'. Best use of them is to make jam out of them, smells real funky as you're cooking them up but is heavenly served as a hot syrup on vanilla ice cream. I now need to try it with this Finnish cheese thing.

You can easily get cloudberry jam from ikea etc. but be warned, it's waaaaaaay too sweet and not very cloudberry-ish, I guess because they try to stretch the cloudberry. AFAIK you still can't cultivate them at any reasonable scale for export.

We get some every year or two from my uncle's partner :)

edit: the 'funky' smell as you cook them isn't bad actually, just very individual.

Been bbqing a heap recently so had to try cooking a 700g steak with bbq corn in herb butter on a random Saturday. Cooked in a crust of chilli and seasoning, with some home baked bread and horseradish cream.





Looks great! I'd recommend more char on the corn though. Love me some char on grilled corn (then cover in mix of mayonnaise, feta, garlic, lime juice and chili powder)

I'm not trying to shame here. I've only ever seen Al Pastor in corn tortillas from any food truck or establishment. I usually use street taco size tortillas for mine too, single or doubled up. Taco build for us is Al pastor, cojita, red onion, salsa verde, cilantro, lime juice. Optional are sub red for white onion, and add cabbage, pineapple chunks to complement the meat. I'm curios about how. you cooked your meat/recipe. This is something the wife and I have been making for a while now.

Use the serious eats recipe https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/05/tacos-al-pastor-recipe.html

I changed to red salsa since we can't get fresh tomatillos here and the tortillas were unfortunately bought. I've found a place I can order masa from but haven't done it yet.

I'm in rural Sweden, by the way so it ain't so easy to get everything just right. In any case, it was very good! Even if undeniably not the real thing..

First time making Czech style goulash. It turned out just right, exactly like I remember from my local pub when I worked in Brno for a short while

Dumpling shape got wonky but imo texture was right

Never heard of it but it looks fantastic and I'm a sucker for stew and dumplings, got a link to a decent looking recipe?


https://www.cooklikeczechs.com/gulas-czech-beef-goulash/

https://www.cooklikeczechs.com/houskove-knedliky-czech-bread-dumplings/

This is the one I used, and then recipe for the bread dumplings though I had to use a modified recipe since I couldn't get that kind of flour, so I did half 00 flour and half fine semolina and it worked great. I also didn't put in the stale bread because the ones 8 had over there tended not to have it.

Edit: and the pickled chilies are optional but a great addition and goulash is often served with some. Raw onion to garnish is vital.

Pate with a good brioche, pate in Swedish blood soup (only thing that makes it work), banh mi..

THE MACHO MAN posted:

what did you do for the tofu?? that looks awesome

Basically this with added red peppers since we had some we needed to use

https://thewoksoflife.com/vegan-1-2-3-4-5-tofu/

Edit: note, it ALWAYS takes longer to fry tofu to a nice gold brown than anyone is willing to tell you. Just go til you think it looks right. It's like browning onions, all recipes lie about it. Edit: gave the red peppers a good strong blister though it does t look it

The carrots I just did like three tablespoons light soy sauce to one black vinegar, dash of sugar and msg and like a teaspoon of toast sesame oil I think but basically I always just go by taste edit2: for about four times that amount of carrot, mind

First time Japanese curry (from scratch)

Verdict: I'd be willing to try from someone who really knows what they're doing but the schnitzel was the best bit and I'd rather have that in another style. Guess I'll make curry bread with the leftover curry anyway.

Torquemada posted:

My impression (based on nothing first-hand) is that the Japanese make curry almost exclusively from a base and Thais almost exclusively make their paste fresh. Have I misinformed myself?

No but there's no reason you can't just DIY

I mean, it's roux and spices. Not complicated.
