Growing cucumbers in my garden and as much as I love pickles, I decided to venture out into making cucumber muffins, inspired by zucchini muffins. I peeled the cucumber (mine are thick-skinned) and cut out most of the seeds. I grated it and squeezed out as much liquid as possible. Ended up with about 7 oz of grated cucumber for a dozen muffins. I made mine with minimal sugar, some chocolate chips, and some whole wheat flour. While you can taste the cucumber, it isn't over powering in any regard and tastes pretty nice. I would make them again.
Put a bit of herb liquor into my iced tea, it's fucking great.
I picked mulberries from trees in my neighborhood and made jelly, eyeballing everything. Seems to have worked as intended.

Post all about booze for cooking, be it beer, wine, rum, liquor, nihonshu, shaoxing, whisky, vodka, hard cider, tequila, vanilla extract or whatever. Maybe mention how you clean your kitchen with isopropyl alcohol. What do I look for in a beer for hot dogs? Are any of the ones Aldi sells good enough for it? Any cheap suggestions for hot dog beer?

With the holidays approaching, now is the time to start preparing festive food. Post recipes of your holiday favourites for this time of year. Let us know your preferred cookie or what meat you like to serve on New Year's eve. On my side, I'm all about making sweets. I always make an array of cookies, with a preference for gingerbread. Ultra-boozy fruit cake gets passed along to the family too. This year I'm going make kletzenbrot, though I'm going to try random fruit rather than dried pears which I've never seen where I live. I thought about trying my hand at panettone (or pandoro), but I don't want to buy the specific mold for it and I have a bakery nearby which makes some in-house.

>>906 I think my recipe is a little different so as soon as I can find it I'll post it.
Here we go. 5 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 2 1/2 cups packed brown sugar 1 cup vegetable shortening 2 large eggs 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup buttermilk apple filling (see below) confectioners sugar Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease and flour 9- in. cake pans. Combine flour, soda, powder, salt, and cinnamon- set aside. Cream brown sugar and shortening 2 to 3 min. Then beat in eggs and vanilla. On low speed beat in flour mixture alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Divide dough into 7 or 8 portions. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack. Stack with hot apple filling between layers. Sift confectioners sugar over top before serving.

>>924 >It starts dry and you need to allow it to set at least 24 hours to meld in a cool place. Longer is even better. From the little research I've done, I read that was the typical recommendation for most apple stack cake recipes. Also, I will recommend using apple cider or apple juice for the apple filling instead of water - it just gives you that much more appleness to the dish.

Has anyone tried blooming (fry in fat to release fat soluble flavor, then add alcohol because the fat is alcohol soluble for a nice, evenly distributed flavor) soy sauce powder? Seems like it could be done, it's plant based and theoretically fat soluable, but I don't keep soy sauce powder since I prefer use Nipponese shoyu.
>>752 >soy sauce powder First time I've ever heard of it.

It's the time of year for spooky treats and dishes of all sorts. I'll start with a meal from one of the first horror novels: Paprika Hendl from Dracula There's several different versions of this dish, this is the recipe I've used before. 1 lb. chicken 2 Tablespoons of olive oil 2 Chopped onions 1-2 cloves of garlic (optional) 2 Tablespoons Hungarian Paprika 1/2 Cup of tomato juice or tomato sauce 2 Tablespoons of flour 1/2 Cup of sour cream Defrost and cut chicken into serving-size pieces. In a large pot, lightly saute chopped onions in oil until brown. Blend half of your paprika with your onions.

I've got a pumpkin report from Thanksgiving about the flat white Boer pumpkin. 1. It is an exceptionally long keeper. We bought this one last year at around the end of October and it kept in pristine condition just sitting on the kitchen floor all this time. 2. It's shockingly good quality for a maxima in my experience. It's every bit as good as a tan cheese or butternut for pumpkin pies. It cooked up and blended really smooth.

>>243 It's been awhile since I've used sodium citrate; evaporated milk is much easier and the ratios are less strict. You don't need any of the other stuff (the powdered bits), just sodium citrate and fresh cheese. Or powdered, if that's your thing, but I think the powdered cheese might just melt in without needing anything to emulsify. For Mac & Cheese in particular, I like to do a pound of pasta, a pound of cheese, and about 12-16 oz of evaporated milk. For sodium citrate, I think 1 cup of milk and 1 tbsp of sodium citrate would be sufficient for a pound of cheese and pasta. Should firm up nicely. If you get the ratio of liquids to cheese correct then it's fine. You just need enough of whatever else to emulsify.

Fermentation is certainly a survival technique that is simple to do and allows you to enjoy produce for a year or more. My current on-going project is fermenting garlic in honey. For about the first two weeks, you see bubbles coming from the garlic and you need to flip your jar daily to make sure the floating garlic is covered, burping the jar afterward to be sure your jar doesn't explode. After a month, the bubbles go away and the garlic starts darkening and sinks. Technically it's ready after that month, but I'm going to ferment mine for three months for maximum potency before enjoying. You can keep it on a dark, cool shelf for one year at least. Mine pictured is about twenty days away from being three months old. While it's generally made to take when you get sick, I picture myself enjoying it with chicken and pork. Already tested the honey and it's garlicy (without the bite) and sweet.

Talk about your suppressed memories of horrible food you ate, or fondly reminiscence about a wonderful meal. It doesn't have to be something you made, but it should be memorable. There's a chocolatier near my house who makes ice cream and sorbet during the summer. They are always true to their flavor - the watermelon sorbet tasted like biting into a watermelon, the banana ice cream was spot-on. But the best one to date was a salted butter ice cream. I only saw it one time last year, but it moved me. When I was in China many years back, I tasted scorpion on a dare. I don't know if it was the worst thing I've ever eaten, but it was certainly questionable and bad. Tasted like ill-prepared intestine.

Recipe Searching Thread Anonymous 07/25/2020 (Sat) 20:57:45 No. 150 [Reply]
How do you all find new recipes? I find it annoying to go out and buy ingredients if I want something to eat besides plain rice and frozen tendies, so I had the idea that surely there are ingredient search engines that return recipes, rather than vice versa. So far www.supercook.com seems the nicest out of the 3 I tried so far, it asks what foods you have and splits recipe results into a few categories. One of the ones it spat out is a recipe for some bean soup. Is there anything anon uses, like meal plans or recipe books?

>>256 Does spirulina add any particular flavor to soups? I'm considering getting some and making some blue green noodles.
I tend toward authoritative recipes instead of those self-published by amateurs and home cooks, and lately I'm collecting cookbooks. My best acquisition so far is the first edition of the Larousse Gastronomique, so I can cook French dishes from classic French recipes in the original French.
>>280 Spirulina on its own tastes like seaweed. It can be pretty strong at two teaspoons, though I've never had it in soup myself.

Fasting Anonymous 08/25/2020 (Tue) 12:18:09 No. 281 [Reply]
I feel this is appropriate under the board's food oriented culture. My fasting regime is a 16/8 regime, and I'm curious if other anons have practiced this or if there are any better alternative methods on improving a fast to suit gastrointestinal issues. Thanks.
>notice a /fast/ board >click it thinking there's board for fasting content topkek
I fast, but not intentionally. Many moons ago, when I was still in high school, I couldn't stand school lunches. My college didn't have great food, either. And I've never been much of a breakfast guy; breakfast is reserved for early days with big work ahead, like when camping or doing labor around the house. So I naturally started doing what is now commonly called "One Meal A Day". I would roll out of bed, drag myself to class, and sit through the day. It was easy to ignore lunch because the food was repulsive, so literal hunger was the easy choice. Get home and then grab a big meal, either takeout or home-cooked depending on the day. Plus it saves so much time. I know some people do "meal prep" but I never could be bothered. I just make large meals and if I have leftovers I have leftover. Eat until I'm full. If I start packing on the pounds, I cut out desserts and start drinking water instead of milk, soda, or juice. Maybe start swapping some carbs out for more meat and fat. I'm not super strict and I occasionally have calories outside my single meal in the form of soft drinks, if I'm reasonably skinny or getting exercise. But in general I only consume food once a day. I've heard people say they struggle with it, but once you're on it for a bit it's not bad at all. Your body adjusts. I don't feel tired or out of it throughout the day like others describe. If I get hungry I just look forward to my dinner even more. As far as gastrointestinal issues, I cannot comment. I have none. I do this because I feel better on it and I am used to it. But if you state your exact issues, maybe someone with similar irritation can say what works for them.

Sake Brewing Anonymous 07/12/2020 (Sun) 03:10:44 No. 46 [Reply]
Finally a good place to have this thread. My autism for a certain game got me interested in making sake and other related asian drinks. So here's a thread to drop any information that anyone might have about it. The only thing that I've really discovered is that polishing your rice is extremely important. https://web-japan.org/nipponia/nipponia44/en/feature/feature05.html Would making something like Monkey Booze be possible? Could lardered fruit under the right conditions turn into a drinkable alcohol?

Well one thing that I've discovered while researching is that sake is most often brewed in colder months since the process is longer and more complex than simple fruit wines. >>72 >>74 I do have a recipe somewhere for pokeberry wine. I might actually try to make that later this year.
>>46 >The only thing that I've really discovered is that polishing your rice is extremely important. I don't know anything about making Sake Brewing, but I do know one important fact that you need to know if you want to make it right. Make sure you are using the correct rice for your brewing attempts. Uruchimai or Sushi Rice is the kind used for making Sake. Calrose is not Uruchimai.

Recreating my mom's recipe for "B'rer Rabbit" Anonymous 07/11/2020 (Sat) 04:52:09 No. 9 [Reply]
>2 adult rabbits, cleaned and dressed >One large can of cream of mushroom soup (get the premium stuff, not Campbells) >2 celery stalks >2 large carrots >salt, pepper, and a pinch of brown sugar Pour about 1/4 inch of water in the bottom of the casserole dish. Quarter the rabbits and stack the quarters on their sides in the large casserole dish. Dice the carrots and celery and pack them in between and on top of the quarters. Sprinkle just a little salt and pepper over the meat and follow with the pinch of brown sugar. Don't use too much as a little goes a long way. Now pour the mushroom soup over the whole thing, making sure to get it well into the gaps and fully coating the top. Add another light sprinkle of salt and pepper to the top. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place the casserole dish one rack down from the center and bake for 2 hours or until a meat thermometer shows 150 degrees. Enjoy.

>>24 Lamb is a real delicacy. I love it when I can afford it. Usually don't waste it on a stew, though. Next time I make lamb I'll post some pics. It's great when slow-cooked. It should still be almost rare.
>>25 that would be lovely, share the recipe you used too.
>>9 >pour the mushroom soup over the whole thing >bake for 2 hours <meat thermometer shows 150 degrees Sounds like you're braising the rabbit given the liquid and long cooking time. In which case, checking for temperature is not the way to check if your meat is done. Braising means you are cooking the meat in liquid to retain moisture that would otherwise be lost in an already tough cut of meat. However, given the liquid, the meat is held at a specific temperature (maybe 150 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit) for a long period of time. So checking for temperature is not the way to go. Instead, you want to check if your meat has tenderized by sticking in a fork and seeing if it pulls off the bone easily. Think of braising like the bain-marie process. Your cue to take the custard out of the oven is that it has set, not necessarily that it has reached a particular temperature. Otherwise, I don't have rabbit often, but this sounds like a recipe to try out.
