recipe or brand suggestion for the perfect blueberry muffins? I absolutely adore blue berry muffins
4 posts and 1 image omitted.
>>1531 Really? My favorite part of a muffin is the crumbly, buttery top like on a cinnamon sugar one. That's why I like banana chocolate chip ones since they usually have walnuts and crumbles on the top. Blueberry ones are good too though, never seen a cherry muffin.
>>1532 I'm not really used to muffin tops being crumbly or buttery. I can only imagine it being similar to a crumble? Nuts are delicious though. My favorite cake might be Hitler's cake (walnuts and apples)
>>1533 Cinnamon sugar muffins are another flavor that I often have with crumbly tops, maybe check your local baker or grocery store to see if they have one like that.

>>1463 thamku for responding much love i will work hard yes but smart
>Can you cook? Yes, I'm competent at preparing most dishes (fish, steak, pasta, veggies, soups) and typically cook almost every day, though that can range from "seared honey-glazed salmon with oven roasted green beans and slivered almonds" to "scrambled eggs and bacon." Not so much at baking, unless it's something out of a box. Although I have made cookies from scratch a number of times, and tried making bread sticks from scratch once or twice. >How did you learn to cook? My parents let me help out with some cooking at a young age, mainly just putting stuff in the oven or helping prepare mixes and combining ingredients, and it's something I always enjoyed doing. As a teenager I started making more of my own meals, mostly simple stuff like pancakes and omelettes for breakfast or pasta for dinner. My mom was always concerned about getting us sick though so she always overcooked meat, and it wasn't until I could buy food and ingredients with my own money that I started practicing cooking steak that actually tasted good, or pan frying salmon and roasting chicken with butter, herbs, and carrots. Mainly I taught myself, or saw something that looked good and decided to look up a recipe or a video on how to make it. >tasty healthy meals A very easy way to get more healthy meals in your diet is making veggies in the oven. Liberal use of olive oil on anything green plus salt and pepper makes for delicious green beans, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or even stuff like carrots and potatoes. Those can all be paired easily with pretty much anything else you can put on a plate, be it lasagna, meat, bread, pasta, or more veggies.

>>1521 I've wanted to try that for a while but I always expect it to take like shit. Maybe I've just had bad luck with store bought spirits.
>>1522 I thought the idea behind using vodka is that it's not very strongly flavoured. Maybe rhum would work better though, because rhum and vanilla pair really well.

>>1490 Quesabirria is delicious and you should eat it. They cook the beef in a slow cooker and then pack it into tortillas, with some cheese, pour the beef juices over them, and fry them on a griddle until the cheese is melty and crispy on the edges. Serve with the usual fixings, like onion and cilantro, and a cup of the reserved beef broth for dipping.
>>1514 Ah, so it's like a fried cheese and shredded beef taco with a beef dip. That does sound really good.

French Cooking Academy is very good for French cuisine without being too tryhard or pretentious. Lentils a la Dijonnaise has been a godsend to me. My grocery store had a sale on French lentils right when pandemic was starting out. I panic bought a ton, laughing at idiots killing themselves over less nutritious pasta, rice, and beans. Problem is that most recipes for cooking lentils I found online are shit. None of them mentioned waiting with salting until towards the very end. Rare few mentioned scooping up impurities as an optional step. Turns out that these two make a lot of difference. I did not know about their importance until watching this video. >>1248 >>1251 >ground beef in Canada It could an urban, sub-urban, and rural divide thing. American cities and rural areas can offer limited selection. Suburbs tend to be the best for home cooks if you want a wide variety of ingredients. I do not know where Glen lives exactly, but he does mention getting ingredients from local farmers, so he could be in more rural area, hence the beef thing.
Trailer Park Boys is a silly show, but Randy's cheeseburger technique is solid and many could learn a thing or two from him. >>1246 Out of pastagrammar recipes I tried, only rolled and stuffed eggplant was not too good. Their way to do it so to fry up 1/4 inch slices of eggplant in olive oil on a pan. It's not a very good method, since eggplant will soak up all that oil and it will become heavy and greasy. Most recipes recommend baking eggplant in an oven with a light oil drizzle for a reason. Oven method is quicker too. Eggplant rolls were still edible, but a bit too greasy and bland for my liking. They really benefit from addition of tomato. Either sundried in the ricotta filling, or tomato sauce on top if you are going the most common route that includes finishing them off in the oven with mozarella on top.

Dollar Store Cooking Anonymous 05/15/2024 (Wed) 18:51:09 No. 1515 [Reply]
Have any of you dared to shop at a dollar store for groceries, and if you have did you manage to cook anything good with what you found? I haven't been to dollar stores since like 2015 so it surprised me to find so many grocery items there, specifically Dollar Tree. They have a decent selection of snacks of course but also spices and condiments along with actual name brand food items. The only stuff I would trust in my stomach though would be dry goods like ramen or rice and beans. There are a few videos I've found of people living a week or so off of just dollar store food but personally I'm not as keen on eating steak or bacon for $1.25, as tempting as that sounds.
I've bought weird candies imported from Northern countries from dollar stores but they didn't leave a lasting impression. In some supermarkets they have a dollar/discount section which I used to peruse, but nothing looked good, not even rice or pasta. It's really made me try my hardest to not compromise on food, and to find other ways to save money (such as avoiding chips or drinks).

Having had a long history of IBS and the shits, I'm always really cautious about anything even close to expiring. The economy's been tough and you need to make the best of what you've got in the pantry/fridge but better safe than sorry for most stuff I figure.
>>1498 Same, I'm overly cautious, despite many printed dates being bullshit (at least here in yuroop, I don't know how it is elsewhere). Yogurts' and cheese dates are bullshit for instance, and much, much undervalued. Some cheesemakers actually picked up on that and started printing "trust your gut/taste/smell" on their products to encourage people not to throw out things that are a few days over the limit. Yet I keep looking up the dates also. I think it's close to OCD psychiatrically

Starting with chicken and rice. Anon said there's no easier and cheaper way to make without sacrificing one or the other. Browning the chicken can't be skipped. Spices you can buy whole dried and then put in as fresh instead of buying small packets of it.

Most fish is very easy to make so long as you season it and don't overcook whatever you've got. Salt, pepper, old bay or garlic and herb and baking is really all there is to it. A couple sides that are really easy to make for pretty cheap: >Any roasted vegetable Preferably something green, like green beans, broccoli, okra, or Brussels sprouts (these take a little longer). Wash, dry, and toss on a well-oiled baking pan, coating evenly with more oil, salt, pepper, and any spices you want. Bake at 375 F until the lovely smell of roast veggies fills your house, or if you're like me until they start crisping for a crunchy texture. In that case you'll want to flip them around halfway through cooking. Most veggies only take about 15-20 minutes. >Cheap garlic bread Purchase a cheap baguette or loaf of Italian bread at your local grocer. Slice lengthwise in half, or into little hockey puck sizes. Coat the top with either a thin spread of butter or drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, parsley, and garlic powder. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes at 400 F and optionally turn on the broiler for a minute near the end to give the top a nice bit of darker color.
>>1494 Shit, forgot to mention a balsamic glaze works as a good topping for most roasted vegetables, and you can use it for fish like salmon or salads too, and that you can add some sprinkled Parmesan cheese to the bread too.

Holiday Dishes & Seasonal Foods Anonymous 12/17/2023 (Sun) 19:24:25 No. 1487 [Reply]
Any of you making/planning on making something for the holidays? I baked up a batch of snickerdoodles for a Christmas party that turned out pretty good (not exactly like the picture though, I didn't flatten them out so they turned out round but as a nice tradeoff they were still a bit softer in the center). Probably should have posted this around Thanksgiving since there are a lot of seasonal dishes good for Fall and I actually helped someone make a peach pie around then too.
St. Patrick's Day and Easter are both coming up. You all have any good dish ideas for them? I'll probably go for the classic corned beef and make some deviled eggs, respectively.

Jewish cuisine and Biblically pious cooking JEWS 08/26/2020 (Wed) 01:30:32 No. 287 [Reply] [Last]
"THEY TRIED TO KILL US. THEY FAILED. LET'S EAT" I was invited here to share my cooking. I've been cooking Jewish foods lately, so I'm posting them first. Given 8chan's history, you all should be able to relate to the unofficial motto for Jewish feasts. I expect that I'll be doing most of the posting here, so feel free to ask me things. COOKED 1. Home-baked six-stranded challah. I stopped fucking with sourdough starter as soon as instant yeast was available again and darted straight for the king of breads: challah, or Ashkenazi Sabbath bread, named after the dough offering to be given to the Temple in Jerusalem. It's long been considered the best bread for French toast. Mine mostly follows Lan Lam's tangzhong-based recipe for Cook's Illustrated, adding two egg whites and removing 1/4 cup of water with seeds inside and outside, and as you can see, it's fucking excellent. I intend to try Yemenite breads if I can get my hands on the bakeware they use, but for now, I'm sticking with the best bread I know. 2. Cholent. I made this Ashkenazi-style Sabbath stew, vaguely thought to have originated with French Jews, for the first time on the eve of the Sabbath when some faggot shot people at a synagogue in Pittsburgh; his faggotry motivated me to dust off my family's Ashkenazi traditions. The round thing in the stew is retail stuffed derma or kishka, a bread-and-vegetable sausage that's the best part of the dish. Mine here is after Jamie Geller's with retail challah, short ribs, canned beans, and a shorter cooking time; if you follow her recipe, don't cut the cooking time when you're using dry kidney beans unless you want to asspain your guests. Lately I've been adding farro, lima beans, and sliced chuck to change things up. 3-11. Brisket, potato kugel, latkes, kasha varnishkes, ropa vieja, Yemenite chicken soup with matzo balls, zhug, hilbe, and hawayij. Brisket is one of the few recipes that I actually inherited from my parents; my long-term goal is to use my family's ingredients with a more bulletproof braising method (à la America's Test Kitchen) to make sure it always comes out well (theirs does not). If you want to try one of these before the others, try potato kugel first, it's a latke casserole; I garnish mine with home-grown chives. I blended black garlic into the homemade farfalle for the kasha for a guest and was told it's the best ever. Also, turns out that Cuba's national dish, ropa vieja, was borrowed from Sephardi Jews; my first attempt at cooking it (from Genie Miligrom's recipe) wasn't great, so next time I'll be using the one from the Columbia Restaurant in Florida. Of Joan Nathan's recipes, Yemenite chicken soup was good, zhug was so great that I'm surprised it isn't mainstream, hilbe was strange, and I'm going to put hawayij on my next steak. TO COOK 1. Crypto-Jewish "chuletas", which are a French toast-like concoction that superficially resembles pork chops, supposedly cooked to throw off Spanish Inquisitors. I have the recipe, but I haven't had morning company for breakfast fare during the pandemic. 2-3. Jachnun and kubaneh, the Yemenite Sabbath breads I mentioned above. No recipes or bakeware yet. 4. Italian Jewish style couscous. Edda Machlin's recipe for couscous broth (thurshi?) is so complicated that it has to be fucking delicious. 5. Kibbeh, introduced to me by Mark himself. I need the recipe. 6. Corned beef from scratch, to be sliced and served on the challah, or on a rye loaf baked with flour sent to me by another 8channer. 7. Edda Machlin's Tuscan-style cholent.
