Recipe:
Red Wine Vinegar
Ingredients:
Red Wine
Vinegar (with the mother)
Instructions:
Mix a bit, hundred mil ish or more but you really want to just glop a chunk of the mother in there, of vinegar with a bottle of red wine. Leave covered (cloth, paper tower, cheesecloth, etc. will work fine. Needs to breathe though) for 2-3 weeks or longer, until you see a bit of film on the top. Now you have red wine vinegar. I opened a bottle of cheap wine, and it was corked, so I decided to just make vinegar. I will use this vinegar for mediocre foods like salads that I don't care about, unless it miraculously becomes excellent.
Notes:
You don't need a starter, wine will just become vinegar if left out. A good mother from someone who makes tasty vinegar helps, though.
I diluted my wine a bit, you can either do this or not.
This is only the second time I've done this, so wait warmly for updates. It's not complicated though, 'sjust vinegar.

I will have to agree with that roll, anglos have really poor taste.

>didn't actually boil the mixture between cream and milk
>used skimmed milk instead of whole milk
>used artificial vanilla instead of real extracts
>mixture between egg yolks and sugar wasn't solid and it was liquid as fuck
>didn't use a proper ramekin and just very small bowls instead
>might not get cooked properly
Awwww yeeeee this creme brulee is gonna SUCK

> difficulty
easy, 30 minutes of work, about 2 hours until done

> ingredients
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 pack dry baking yeast
2 cups flour (wheat)
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1-3 tablespoons hot chili flakes
salt and cumin to taste

> preparation
Combine milk, water, oil and yeast in a bowl. Mix in the flour until you get a very sticky dough. Cover in a bowl and let it rise for at least an hour at room temperature. Add spices and mix again. Form balls or just scoop out chunks of dough and put them on baking paper. Let these rise again for a bit, then put them in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes.

The cumin pairs really well with the taste of white bread and chili to create a extra savory version of a yeast bun. Great as a side for soups and meat.

easiest recipe I make all the time, rice cooker chicken:
along with rice in the rice cooker as you normally would cook it add
some frozen vegetables
1 or 2 skinless boneless chicken thighs
soy sauce
sake
pinch of sugar
MSG
that's it, just use the normal rice cooking setting. if you want, you can then pan fry the chicken afterwards on high heat just to get some browning on the outside. The chicken flavours the rest of the stuff while it steams, so the whole meal has a nice chicken-broth type taste.

Yes! It was great because it was so different from what I usually eat. I especially liked my rolls with wasabi!

>>1047
>Wasabi
I remember when I ate sushi for the first time. I ate a good chunk of wasabi on its own.
It burned a lot and soured my experience with sushi, but it might be me not eating it properly

What's your take on salmon, sushis? I'm aware salmon wasn't used as an ingredient until the XX century but salmon is so tasty and moreso with rice I just love salmon sushi.

Salmon is my favourite type of fish. It's so versatile and enticing with the bright red colour, the subtle taste and melting consistency when prepared right.

>>1054
honestly, never had a proper salmon. i really like it in salmon pâté or canned in potato sauce

I make Rajma Marsala as well as curries with tofu, chickpeas, and lentils. I've also made Japanese curry two times now. The first time was with a beef substitute, which was okay. I didn't particularly like it. The second time was with fried tofu. That was also okay, but it took way too much effort. I also changed up the recipe from the standard box curry to one that included ginger, garlic, and a very ripe banana, smashed in there. Next one's gonna be tofu again, but I'm going to crush all the water and crumble it in. I really like the potatoes, but not much crowding the curry. From what I see in other people's images, that's the right way to do it. I still think I'd like it a lot more with the crumbled tofu. Then, I'll probably add a grated apple, chocolate, or something else. Probably not at once, of course. I'm also seeing how well it freezes. I'm going to unfreeze my Japanese curry and see how it lasted.

I still prefer regular, Indian curry more. Japanese curry seems to be a pale comparison of Indian curry. Like, you can tell it's curry, but there's something off about it. I usually do potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms to my curry, by the way. It'll be fun to experiment more with different vegetables, too. Japanese curry might not be like Indian curry, but it's charming with its variety.

I made some curry with chicken katsu the other day, it was excellent!

Looks so good! :3

that looks amazing, cook for me please!

My wife is preparing a Swiss roll this year. I've been asking her to make Stollen for the past few years, welp, maybe next year. She did look up the recipy this year, though, we're getting close.
I love her baking anyway, no matter what she prepares.

My mom and I always bake lots of cookies
My favorites are cinnamon stars and marzipan hearts!

>>924
Mmmmmmm marzipan. So underrated

I'm mostly into cookies. Simple christmas cookies are great. I make them every year without the frosting, because then they become too sweet. Spice speculoo cookies are my favourite in the stores. They go so well with milk tea or coffee. Vanillekipferl (vanilla flavoured crescent cookies) can be incredibly delicious, however they have to be freshly baked.

>>976
I have not yet been able to get this one to work perfectly for me yet, but I find it very interesting.

I think it tends to be more critical to follow an exact recipe with things like this.

>>976
Lentil soup is pretty good. I've never made it myself though, only bought it premade in cans.

Almond milk can substitute regular milk, just make sure to use plain, unsweetened almond milk. Most almost milk is sold with vanilla and other flavors for drinking, but this is no good for cooking. You can make your own with a cheesecloth and a blender!

Consider homebrewing/winemaking if he drinks.

Simple Hot Dry Noodles

- mie noodles
- peanuts / peanut butter
- soy sauce
- garlic
- spring onion
- msg
- chili crisp / chili oil

Cook mie noodles according to package instructions and discard water. Chop peanuts very finely until they almost have become a powder or use peanut butter. Chop garlic finely and mix with a splash of water. Chop spring onion. Stir everything together with soy sauce, chili crisp, msg and sugar to taste. Add any vegetables you fancy. Enjoy.

This recipe is inspired by street food I had in Sichuan. I think they add mustard greens there, but they are difficult to source here. Don't skip the msg!

>>930
Not cookies as sugary, those cookies that have no taste whatsoever, and rice cookies

>>930
I find some info, but you indicated sugar will make you feel better
It seens to be another reason or multiple causes

>>932
>Someone who is lactose intolerant will have trouble digesting lactose, which is the sugar found in milk. This intolerance causes one or more of the digestive issues noted.
That is interesting, I am lactose intolerant after all, so this may play something.
But also the sugar that I used is a "light" one, so this is also another thing to take into account

I like dark chocolate a lot. I prefer it over other forms of chocolate, like milk. The taste of dark chocolate is the first thought that comes into my head when discussing it.

>>933
Try making honey candies. They're real easy to make and very healthy! It's basically just honey that has been either frozen or baked into hard candy. You can add cinnamon to make it spicy if you like.

>>937
That sounds cool, what kind of gluten-free cookies do they have? The only ones I can usually find that aren't super expensive are the gluten-free Oreos.

>>938
Well I went to the store yesterday and the light isn't as bright as you'd imagine
Only a very select kind of cookies are less expensive, the rest range from slightly more expensive to three times more expensive.
The cheap ones were some biscuits that come in many flavours, the more expensive ones are the ones with filler in them, but they come in many different shapes and forms. Some with chips, some are pretzels, some are salty. It's quite varied all things considered.
Surprisingly so, when I asked the owner of the store about things without gluten, she went fairly in detail about it. Apparently Celiac's disease is real brutal, but thankfully right now it's all an intolerance. Not as bad as shampoo giving me skin rashes, but only time will tell.
On another note, I think I developed an intolerance for bananas now? I am not too sure who should I go to so that I can check my intolerances, but all of this just comes out of nowhere and it's kinda blindsiding me.

>>935
I can eat gluten just fine, but my sister has celiac disease (gluten intolerance). Having it sucks, but it's not the hardest intolerance to work around.
>I might have high blood sugar
Gluten is the protein I thought. Shouldn't impact your blood sugar more or less than gluten free breads.

Assuming you want to avoid gluten rather than sugars or carbs, there's hope: Not eating gluten became super popular with the "alternative nutrition" crowd a few years back, and hipsters and hippies alike decided to buy it, which is amazing - because as a result there's a large variety of gluten free products.
For normal nutrition, avoiding carbs that have wheat or gluten and instead using carbs that naturally don't have any (rice and potatoes) are great. Some gluten free pasta is fine as well, though that will depend on brands. I'd recommend you buy the ones your local store has and try those first, especially the cheap ones.
Sadly, the way my sister describes it is gluten free baked goods are usually where the quality suffers (or they are super expensive). She got herself a bread machine and a pasta machine and makes both herself. Her breads don't taste as good as a homemade sourdough, but better than the usual supermarket bread, and it's economical as well. So I'd recommend getting those. Bread machines second hand are super cheap, they seem to be in the category of "a lot of people buy them, don't use them, and they take up too much space to just stand around", which drives second hand prices down. Just remember to give them a good wash, both because of gluten and because of general nasty surprises you may find. Also be aware that there's a lot of "hidden" gluten especially in sauces like cheaper (and worse) soy sauces. Your mileage may vary and it depends on your health situation, but for her she says anything that states "contains traces of gluten", she doesn't eat and anything that says "may contain traces of gluten" she does.
Good luck sushi.

>Apparently Celiac's disease is real brutal,
It really depends on the person, but if you have celiac's disease and keep eating gluten, it tends to get worse and worse until it can get really bad. So if you just have a intolerance, probably Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Hmmm I've never looked much at biscuit cookies. Good luck on getting something like intolerances checked; I was seeing a doctor for something like a year for chronic abdominal pain before they finally suggested maybe my issues could be a food intolerance, and even then it was more of a "try cutting out foods and see if you feel better" than any kind of formal test.

>>940
Also be aware that there's a lot of "hidden" gluten especially in sauces like cheaper (and worse) soy sauces.
Even the regular Kikkoman is brewed with wheat. Oddly enough the cheaper La Choy is not.

I feel everyone's pain. I am really intolerant of milk and it is incredible how much milk is in our foods, as a sweetener especially.

That's not cottage cheese!

At this point you already made the pie and ate it but I'll give you a bump.

>>894
Haven't you already listed almost every ingredient for a decent apple pie? The only thing I would suggest are a bit of vanilla and salt for the cake batter.

it looks super good!

lookin good
I've never made lasagna before
Do you have any tips?

Isn't this a flash game? I could swear I played this on /f/ at some point. Source me someone, please!

It's Air Pressure, made in renpy, there was a flash port too, yes.
