Yeah I'm really trying to work on my plating, I had the right concept for the ravioli but the glaze really didn't come out well.

Thanks :)

I made an attempt at modern plating tonight, it's a bit rough around the edges but at least everything was cooked perfectly and the flavours really worked well together (thought the radish was way too strong when I tasted it but it fit really well with the dish). I wanted to make a chive emulsion instead of the dijon mayo but I forgot to buy cheesecloth :(

Seared King Scallops, Pea Puree, Pickled Radish, Pan fried beetroot and almonds, Dijon Mayo and Micro Greens.

Your green spoon splooges are too big but otherwise it looks fine. Edit: the white splorts inside the green spoon splooges are kinda silly too.

That being said, I'd eat it.

If your radishes are too fiery, rinse em under hot water for a second after you slice. Also works if you wanna make super quick pickled onions.

Tonight I decided to give my wallet a break and pulled some chicken breasts out of the freezer and used up the veg in my fridge from the week so far.

Chicken supremes sauteed in clarified butter, braised carrots, baked cucumber and a charred pepper puree (with a little kick).

The plating sucks but the food tasted good and the chicken breasts were perfectly cooked.

Tried making chicken calvados tonight, and...I don't think I liked it. I don't know if it was the stringy, tendony boneless chicken drumsticks, the two cups of calvados, or the bland-rear end cream sauce, but it really didn't taste very good. :(

All of the above? If you're deboning a chicken leg, you really gotta make sure to get all the tendons out. I'm not sure I would want to deal with deboning a leg in most cases, that seems like way too much work for what you get.


That recipe seems terrible in general.


Edit: I'm kinda curious what made you choose that recipe over all the other poulet a la normandy/chicken calvados recipes on Google? All recipes pretty much routinely sucks in my opinion.

Whisk some of the buttermilk into the dredging flour so it's full of little bits. Otherwise it's a standard two-step breading method, or I guess one step since I soak the chicken in the buttermilk instead of just dipping it.

Hi, I learned how to cook about a month ago, I didn't even know how to cook a burger until like the middle of March. I'm almost 30 and the last time I really cooked was back in 7th grade, discounting easy breakfast stuff like scrambled eggs and bacon, or those packages of PF Changs.

I've been using Binging with Babish, Food Wishes, and whatever I can find to replicate food I love from restaurants, movies, and games, with more successes than failures so far. I've saved hundreds of dollars already, too. I'm new to taking photos, and that will probably be really obvious.

Cacio e pepe, I learned how to make basic pasta from scratch, and the trick of using leftover pasta water as a sauce/thickener.


Meatball subs with provolone. I learned meatballs because they seem like a cheap easy food for weekdays. I also learned how to use a broiler. The bread was martin's hoagie rolls, i think they had some sugar baked in because they browned really nicely. One day I'll work up the courage to do the food wishes rolls from scratch.


Cheddar and broccoli soup. I've never made soup, I wanted to start using more veggies in my diet, and I wanted to learn to bake basic bread. I followed the soup recipe to the letter and made ENTIRELY too much, I ate soup for a week and still threw half of the initial batch out. Could have taken a bath in the stuff.


This was kind of an important dish for me because I really wanted to learn to tolerate onions. I've always been a big loving baby about them. so I halved the amount used in the recipe and sauteed them down to basically mush. But I liked them so much I could have snacked on them by themselves!

The bread was really tasty but also super dense and chewy. I think that was on purpose due to it's intended use, but it made me want to learn how to do a nice crusty sandwich loaf. So my plan is to do a deconstructed croque madame after i get breadmaking stuff. I want to replicate the one from the game FFXV:

Seconded! I love how much easier it’s gotten too. At first I would decide to make something, say chicken teriyaki or a curry. I’d have to go buy rice, the spices, the meat, the vegetables, and of course the pot to cook it in.

Now I have a nice selections of base ingredients and just need to buy veggies normally. I buy meat on sale and freeze it and for dinner I just decide on a protein and then figure out what to do with it.

Thanks for sharing your story and :justpost:

Yeah, this is the biggest hurdle. Triple checking ingredient lists at the grocery store, and the high cost of quality tools/cookware when on a budget. It's nice to just have staples like spices, milk, eggs, and rice ready to go.

I love my Victorinox chef knife, handles like a dream and the garlic I sliced for the aglio e olio was paper-thin. Absolutely worth the $30. On the other hand, I've been through 3 different thermometers trying to get deep frying down. First three were flip-out style digital pen things. One couldn't go high enough, the second was really slow, the third one was nice until I dropped it in the goddamn oil and it partially melted lol. This new fourth one is just an instant-read metal clip-on probe, so fingers crossed it doesn't somehow blow up when i try making copycat Panda Express beijing beef on Sunday.

If you regularly deep fry, a candy thermometer like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...&pf_rd_i=289808 will be invaluable. Cheaper ones seem to only go up to 400 degrees, but for the price they really are a great tool.

Some of them are definitely pretty briney, so I'll disagree with you on them not being salty. Personally, I can take them or leave them. They're fine and I'll eat one if offered but it's nothing I'd seek out the majority of the time.
