Food 2: Chew Harder • Page 101

you can get codes every day until 11/23. We're gonna be able to feed cities when we're through

 

Whenever I watch great British bake show and the contestants complain that the recipe worked in their kitchen but not the heat of the tent or whatever, I wonder why they don't look at the anticipated weather and then make their house that temp while they practice.

Also for whatever reason I feel very invested in that guy on reddit trying to cut chives each day until they're perfect

 

Also I'm hosting a potluck baby shower and the mom to be is gluten free so if anyone has good gluten free recipes for a novice, feel free to send them my way!!

 

Thank you for this but also I hate how addicted to this I am. I’m convincing myself I’m getting close to winning one of the big prizes

 

Yeah I don't need the food I just need to win the turntables obviously

 

Repost from the Halloween thread.

I made Claire Saffitz's Halloween Pumpkin Bread last night. Well I used my pumpkin bread recipe and her black Cocoa strudel.

 

Claire rules

 

Made my first Purple Carrot meal tonight (millet bowls). Super tasty.



If even 3/4 of the recipes are this good, I’m going to have to find another source of income so I can keep doing this lmao

 

Some homemade calamari and marinara sauce. Only thing missing was fried cherry peppers.

 

the chickpea and fennel tagine from Lula cafe was so incredible. the preserved lemon was so subtle but really added something so nice to it. 10/10 huge fan.

 

Went to a West African restaurant called Akâdi, and it was pretty good.

Beef samosas and wings. I’ll list the three different wing flavors.
-parsley, lemon, garlic, and onion sauce
-hibiscus ginger reduction
-Suya spice blend dry rub


Poisson Frit w/ yucca root fries. Jollof w/ lamb shank, fried plantains, and kale salad. Okra stew w/ chicken and fufu.

 

First time making palak paneer

 

Made a cheesecake for the first time this weekend, came out prettyyyyyyyy good. I subbed in nilla wafers for the crust.

 

that looks insane, and better than any cheesecake i've made

 

Nilla Wafer crust is a genius idea

I’ve made cheesecakes in the past with Oreos or Joe-Joes. But that sounds amazing

 

made this last night. vodka sauce, fresh mozzarella and parmesan, prosciutto, breaded chicken, and spinach. tasted amazing. still trying to work out the best way to stretch out the dough (pre-made from Trader Joe's, cold fermented for about 24 hours before sitting out at room temperature for 6) and making sure it doesn't stick to the peel (which i generally coat in a fair amount of semolina that i then have to brush off)

 

i've also used a thin layer of red velvet cake in the past, never thought about Nilla Wafers, but that seems like a good idea for a more standard cake.

 

Oh wow that sounds incredible too!

 

Thank you so much! It tasted incredible yesterday after cooling, topped with a raspberry compote I made the night before *chef's kiss*.

The nilla wafers worked out really nicely too! I had read about people replacing the typical graham cracker with biscoff cookies which inspired me to switch it up. I didn't want something as sweet as a biscoff so figured these or yellow oreos would be a good option.

 

I made dal and golden milk tonight. Cool, dreary weather always makes me want Indian

 

when I used to work for a cheesecake manufacturer they’d do these insane cheesecakes in cakes like this where you’d do crumb, a shot of red velvet cake (they did a banana bread that was insane too) and then a shot of cheesecake in the center then bake and top with a cream cheese frosting. it was so decadent but really good.

 

Been slowly perfecting my egg game over the years. I made a garlic butter spinach and cheddar omelette today and it ruled.

 

Can't believe you didn't post a pic

 

I ate it before I could. I’ll do better next time.

 

I don’t have any pictures but I’ve been making apple crisp the last few weekends. I don’t like to brag but I make a real good one.
