cookin' thread

[massflavour]

post recipes, talk shop, do whatever. post pics of what ya make too

i recently became a line cook at a fine dining restaurant after a grueling 5 months of dish washing in a gastropub, and i haven't been happier to work in a kitchen for the most part.

i've begun cooking at home for myself and my family and i make pretty good shit so yea here is a quiche recipe:

cup flour
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup cold water
tsp salt
2 eggs
tbsp cream or milk
add in anything to the egg mixture e.g. broccoli, fresh bacon bits, chopped scallions, etc.

mix dry ingredients (flour n salt) with a fork. blend water and oil in a separate bowl and slowly add to dry ingredients. mix water/oil with dry ingredients to create a dough: add water if needed.

beat eggs in a separate bowl whilst gradually adding cream. after eggs are thoroughly beaten, add whatever you want. i made a few suggestions which are damn good imo.

shape the dough in a pie plate or dish of your choice and pour the egg mixture into the plate. i had to bake it for about 20 mins at 400F but i dunno about exact time; i just watch stuff while it cooks occasionally.

i would post pics of my own but they are slightly different, i.e. done in a muffin tray. they still look scrumptious.

top with diced roma tomatoes, dried celery, or seasonings of your choice.

I'll just repost a recipe that can be found on my profile here:


Cheddar Bacon Cornbread Muffins
--------------------------------

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup corn meal
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
4-5 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled

1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup milk
1/4 cup cooking oil

1. Cook the bacon, but don't overdo it. Preferably on the chewier side than crunchy. Crumble the bacon into bite-size pieces.

2. In a large bowl, add the flour, corn meal, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cheese, and bacon. Stir thoroughly. Make a well in the center.

3. In a small bowl, slightly beat the egg. Then add and mix the milk and cooking oil. Pour into the well in the large bowl. Stir only enough to moisten the mixture. Batter will be lumpy.

4. Fill muffin pan hollows (or greased muffin cups) 3/4 full. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 20-25 minutes. Let it stand for 5 minutes. Remove from the pan. Makes about 12 muffins.

I'll just post this here, the strangest recipe ever, but I tasted this recently and HOLY SHIT this was soooooo good it's not even funny, I recommend this to anyone who's tired of regular chips or wants to eat more vegetables in a fun way;

This is not a salad. This is a bowl of crispy, salty, addictive chips. No…really.



My friend Paula told me about these chips weeks ago, how delicious they were, how her kids loved them and I heard her…kind of…

But Kale Chips…seriously? How could that be? But now that I’ve eaten them, tasting is believing. They are nothing like you would expect because although they sound like healthy, they taste like sin. And just wait until you see how easy and quick they are to make.

Curly Kale Crisps

bunch of kale, very dry (See Note)
olive oil
kosher salt (very little)
pepper
NOTE: BTW, the next time you order an Edible Arrangements Bouquet, all that green stuff that they put behind the fruit on sticks is Kale…completely edible. Make chips!

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Tear the leaves off the kale in large pieces and place on the lined baking sheet discarding the rib that runs up the center of the leaf. Drizzle the kale with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Go very easy on the salt (see the comments for other cook’s experiences) as you can always add more later. Cook for 10-12 minutes in the hot oven. They leaves will get crispy, and maybe just the slightest bit brown on the tips, but will basically remain dark green.

Remove from oven and eat.

Nobody's gonna read this, but w/e

Lots of mushroom, chopped roughly
Slightly less bacon or any type of cured pork, also chopped roughly
Couple cartons of fresh cream NOT thickened
Two cloves garlic, crushed and finely chopped
Olive oil (not too much or it'll pool if you fridge and reheat leftovers)

Add olive oil to pot NOT saucepan and heat.
Add garlic to heated pot and bung everything else into the pot once garlic is slightly brown
reduce that shit

Cook whatever pasta until it's al dente. Don't forget to add cooking salt to the water

Add cooked pasta to the pot with the sauce
Further reduce until the sauce reaches a desired consistency
Serve with fresh basil and parmesan cheese
Pepper dat shit up
