as some of you know i love cooking. i am certified by the national restaurant association & had a culinary scholarship (turned it out to serve by country though, might pursue it later). anyways, figured i'd make a thread with some of the stuff I make since I'd like to start getting back into it. everything is from scratch. will update and post randomly when i make stuff, and tbh this section doesnt even get used, so who cares

What type of food do you generally like to cook?


I prefer Cajun, but not everybody likes food as hot as I do.

And even then, I still love cooking food from pretty much anywhere in the world. I'm not a huge fan of Indian (although I love curry from there) and I'm not really a fan of Greek food, so I don't typically make those. I wanted to be a chef specifically for soup, so that caught my interest more than anything.

Actually, come to think of it, I think the most fun I had was doing stir fry for people. I loved being able to flip food hella high in the air and catch it all back in the pan. Idk why, it was just fun lol

butter / garlic coated asparagus, then took the left over juice and used it to make the chicken, BBQ'd the chicken, asparagus (foil), and corn (foil). the salad was not home made (probably the easiest thing to make, ironically enough lmao), but the ranch was. I don't really like ranch on salad, but people dig home made ranch I guess.

also, beer is good

What do you put in your marinade? I made myself a beef casserole the other day, had the beef cooking for around 5 hours so it just broke apart, I thought it lacked some taste though :(

just depends on what type of dish you're making. since it's a stir fry, you'd want to keep somewhat of an Asian-ish taste. Also, I let it marinate from the night before until I make it for dinner the next night.


in this particular one i think i used various combinations of soy sauce, wine (red only), garlic, oil, corn starch, sugar, water, & pepper

I was thinking Parsley or Coriander. Looks pretty nice! I cooked the whole family a tomato dish earlier in the week. Small roast potatoes seasoned with Parsley and some salt (Cooked in the oven for about half an hour after boiling). I fried some onion, garlic, oregano, then added chopped baby tomatoes, carrots, small chunks of chicken and a can of tinned tomatoes then I let it simmer for about half an hour and then thickened it with Parmesan cheese. Turned out so good but I just didn't make enough :( Wish I took some pictures!

Edit: Also this. Nom. Give me your secrets.



The top is simply just stir fry. Anyone can do it with whatever type of marinade they have, but a lot of people fuck it up and cook it the wrong way. Stir-frying is really fast paced and you sort of have to know how you're going to cook each thing in what order before you start. I mean, some people may be able to do it without that, but it works for me & turns out amazing. But it can get complicated and most people mess it up by either cooking things in the wrong order, not having the heat high enough, or having too much liquid. Stir frying = hot, hot, hot, hot (if you can't tell yet, as hot as you can possibly get the wok) & dry. So that means patting the meat dry before you throw it on, otherwise shit will turn black and burn. Also, vegetables take like 40 times longer to cook than the meat. The meat, surprisingly, is done very quick. The thing to remember is that when you remove food from the pan, it's still going to cook for a bit because it's still hot.



The chicken noodle soup is honestly, in my opinion, the best thing I have ever made. I can eat it over and over and over again, and I've got nothing but astonishing feed back from it, which made me super happy about it. It's a long process (but really fun), because the stock (the liquid part) is made over a course of like 6 - 8 hours using a chicken carcass + skin, as well as a ton of vegetables.



where can i find a man like that?


can't even begin to say how much ladies (in this case, Xeno) love a man that will cook for them every night. it's awesome how many bonus points you get for this.

My first go at this. I kind of made a mix between the two? I marinated the meat in lemon, garlic, and some soysauce, then dried it off and stir-fried it. My phonecamera makes the meat look kind of undone, but it wasn't lmao. Boiled the veggies up in some meat broth and threw in some spices. I added the meat at the very end. Not too complicated lol. I also made a garlic-butter baguette and some salad as a sidedish. It came out pretty good imo.

That looks really nice smiley! I've got some pretty good pics on my phone, i'll upload them all when I get my Internet sorted (Lost my phone usb cable). I've got a beef and chicken dish which was bloody fab :) I love my chicken, bacon and tomato pasta dishes. Make it all all from scratch.

I usually start by chopping up garlic and onion (I change, either red onion or white, never figured out which one I prefer). I fry it in extra virgin olive oil.

I season my chicken with basil, salt and pepper, cut it into small chunks and cook it on a low heat with the bacon (Which was also chopped and the fat trimmed off). After that I put worcester sauce, oregano (Works so well with tomato based dishes) some puree and let that simmer. Then I get a can of tinned chopped tomatoes, sieve out the sauce and then I put the tomatoes in the dish, after that I add some corn flour to the tomato sauce which was sieved and add it to my dish if I need more sauce. I let that simmer for around 10 minutes while the pasta in cooking.

So good and looks amazing.
