Oh, a cooking thread! I love cooking, but most of the time, I'm too depressed to make anything more than a sandwich. Hoping maybe to find some inspiration/motivation here.

https://www.youtube.com/user/thedomesticgeek1hot for food - They are a completely vegan channel that make a wide array of dishes.
https://www.youtube.com/user/hotforfoodblogMind Over Munch - She makes simple meals that are almost always vegan, healthy, and cheap. She literally has a playlist called "Healthy on a Budget" that always includes one vegan option. I don't know your situation, but I suggest you start with her.

>>174029Mind over munch's price breakdowns are kinda bullshit to me imho. It's just the one aspect I hate about the video. Like I'm not pinching pennies by any means, but I'd prefer food channels to just label their videos like 'low-budget' instead of fudging numbers that don't make sense for the sake of clicks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47Wt2Mha_8MI know I'm nitpicking here, but she starts the video showing a half-avocado, but then switches it to 1/4 avocado in the next cut. A lot of people are just gonna wonder how they used up their avocado so fast. At the end it says .25c for 1/4 avocado? So that means half would've been .50c, making the whole thing worth $1? Where can you get an avocado for just $1, and then are you going to be prepping more and freezing for future use? Because avocados definitely go brown after a day even with lemon juice.
Sorry for rant.

I made a Japanese-style cheesecake, I used modified version of this recipe:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyLLOctx7ZUI used 200 ml milk instead of 100 and 40 g corn starch + 20 g flour (it's reverse in original recipe). This helped with the creaminess of the cake. Also added vanilla extract to mask eggy flavor and it worked quite well, along with adding way less sugar. I put the cake in the fridge so it can set.
And then I decided to make a chocolate mirror glaze to pour it on jp cheesecake, used this recipe:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gO6XFRs0Qs Again with with less sugar.
Mirror effect lasted for about 8 hours and then later it started to look just like a normal chocolate glaze.
Still one of the tastiest cakes I made. Sadly I don't have a picture of it, but it looked something like pic related.
I am planning to make it again soon, this time with flaked almonds on top so hopefully I'll remember to post pics here.

I’m a tomato fiend and tomato soup is something I’m ALWAYS craving, I’ve found that this recipe has consistent results and has lots of room for experimentation. I like to add a little bit extra tomato paste for a really rich tomota flavour, but also some roasted paprika (the kind that comes from a jar), I use about a whole paprika’s worth. I tend to also add a pinch of sugar when I cook the onions first so they caramelise quickly, and add another pinch later on once I’ve added the carrot and tomato to help enhance their flavour. If you don’t add any milk, the leftovers will keep for longer. I usually just divide it up between 300ml jars and then I have a serve just the right size for lunch - add sour cream and you’re in heaven.

here's another great pasta recipe!
https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1012888-pasta-with-kale-pesto-and-roasted-butternut-squashIngredients:
1 ½ pounds butternut squash
½ cup extra virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, more for squash
Freshly ground black pepper
1 small bunch (about 1/2 pound) lacinato kale, center ribs removed
8 ounces pasta (penne rigate works well)
⅓ cup toasted pine nuts
2 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Freshly squeezed lemon juice, to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use a vegetable peeler to peel squash, then halve it lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Dice squash flesh into 1-inch pieces, place on a baking sheet, and toss with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Spread pieces into an even layer, making sure there is space between them. Roast, stirring squash pieces once or twice, until golden brown and tender, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; have ready a bowl of ice water. Drop kale into boiling water and cook for 45 seconds. Use tongs or slotted spoon to transfer kale to ice water. Bring water in pot back to a boil, adding more if necessary so there is enough to cook pasta.
Drain kale well, then wrap tightly in a dry kitchen towel and squeeze thoroughly to remove any excess moisture. Roughly chop leaves. When water in pot comes back to a boil, cook pasta according to package directions.
In a food processor, pulse together kale, nuts, garlic, salt and lemon zest until mixture is smooth and salt has dissolved. With motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil until fully incorporated. Taste and add more salt dissolved in a little lemon juice, if necessary.
Drain pasta, reserving a little cooking water. Toss pasta with kale pesto and some pasta cooking water if necessary to help it coat pasta. Add cheese, lemon juice and salt to taste. Serve topped with squash and more cheese.

I've been having fun with my new rice cooker and I love making arroz con gandules.
It's so easy, just put all the ingredients in together, give it a little stir and press start.
I usually let the rice cooker sit for 15 or so minutes after it's finished cooking so the rice doesn't stick to the bottom and to ensure it's cooked all the way through.
My boyfriend's grandmother from Puerto Rico sent us a tub of homemade sofrito in the mail and it's lasted us over a year. Probably not the best choice, but homemade sofrito is ten times better than store bought.
INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 cups of medium or long grain white rice
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon sofrito
1 packet sazon coriander & annatto
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 can gandules (pigeon peas)
1 teaspoon adobo
2 tablespoons corn/vegetable/canola oil
1 tablespoon chicken broth
OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS:
1 to 1½ cup of meat, shredded or cubed
1/2 packet of ham seasoning
1/2 tablespoon recaito
This recipe was given to me by my boyfriend's mother which was originally meant for 5 cups of rice, but I don't have that much room to store 5 cups of rice lmao. Also over time, I've just winged it on the amounts for the seasonings and done it by how many shakes I did, but it always comes out perfect.

Word of advice if you decide to freeze them: Don't use blueberries. I don't know why but they turn so nasty and gelatinous when they thaw, it's inedible. Veggies aren't the best either like if you put kale or spinach in, it's less tolerable than in a normal fresh smoothie.

Some people recommend using chuck, ribeye, or even boneless short ribs. You definitely want it fatty. And if you have a friendly butcher at your local store they might be happy to cut something extra thin if you ask. It's definitely hard on your own.

I love baking, been a passion for over a decade but I've run into a recent problem.
I moved and decided to treat myself to new bakeware too. I bought a nordic ware round cake pan. It's noticeably thicker and more sturdy than an average cake pan.
I baked a cake in it the other day and it just wouldn't bake? It was like pudding after 40 minutes. I chalked it up to me using a new recipe. Now I'm baking brownies from a recipe I always use and they're doing the same thing.
Can a thicker pan completely change baking temp and time? Or is this new oven I'm using junk??
No. 556900
>>556884the only problem i've had with nordicware is cakes sticking more. even if it's thick it will never be
that much of an issue. do you have an analog thermometer in your oven (or some external way to measure the temp)? i find it to be really helpful to know what the actual oven temp is rather than trusting an oven to actually heat up properly.

Does anyone have food restrictions due to health issues? I have digestive issues and reflux, so I'm basically stuck with a low fat, lower carb diet if I don't want to be in pain. I also can't tolerate most spices and herbs, onions/garlic, and tomatoes, so you can imagine how shit diet is. I really miss cooking though, but it's not as fulfilling on such a restricted diet.

Might seem childish but I love grilled cheese sandwiches and am forever looking for new combinations of ingredients to put in them. It's comfort food but can also have some complex flavours if you're willing to experiment.
I often make a pizza-esque grilled cheese with a filling of tomato sauce, mozzarella, fried bits of chorizo and chopped up sun dried tomatoes.
Recently I also came up with a mushroom-beef grilled cheese. I pan fry super finely chopped forest mushrooms, red onion and tons of garlic and then combine it with a bit of minced beef and some grated cheddar. Works great without the beef too.
At this point the bread is more of a vessel to hold different ingredients together, but I use a variety of bread types as well. I really enjoy carefully getting the bread to the perfect level of crispy and making sure none of it gets soggy because of the steam once it's plated.
