Do you love cooking?

lovely @augusta123 (10000) 11 Apr

Can you cook and if so what do you like to cook? When cooking do you like to have the kitchen all to yourself? Do you hate the cleaning up afterwards? I love to cook. At times I do enough cooking for my sisters if they come...

Recipe Not To Try

TaxiLady @Ghostlady (2320) • United States 9 Apr

Fixed Pineapple Pork Chops in the Crock Pot tonight. They were eatable. That is about all you could say. Maybe if I had not put so much SoySauce in it, it MIGHT have been better, but somehow I doubt it. Went exactly by the recipe....

We've heading back to charcoal stove

LK2018 @Letranknight2015 (52665) • Philippines 5 Apr

With another rise of oil and gas prices, looks like we have to resort to old fashion when cooking. We had charcoal stove before, but lack of safekeeping both were destroyed over time. Recently, mom bought a sack of charcoal, and...

Underappreciated fruit

Fleur @Fleura (34694) • United Kingdom 13 Mar

Sometimes it seems that ‘we’, in this country, are turning away from our local produce and going for more exotic things. For example in the supermarket you can buy bananas, papayas, pineapples, mangoes, kiwis, even dragonfruit,...

I’m so glad I’m not coeliac!

Fleur @Fleura (34694) • United Kingdom 13 Mar

As I’ve mentioned before our lodger is coeliac so if we cook for her we have to be very careful to avoid anything containing gluten. I’ve had quite a lot of success making all sorts of gluten-free things which have worked out...

rakski @rakski (153830) • Philippines 10 Mar

Weekends used to be my rest. That was a year ago when my daughter was still in high school. She is a freshman now, and I am the busiest on weekends. Since she is staying at the condo and goes home...

Which daily chore do you refuse to let a robot or AI do for you? -

cuttyrish @cuttyrish (3189) • United States 9 Mar

It feels like 2026 is the year where there’s a 'smart' version of everything. We’ve got robot vacuums that don’t get stuck anymore, AI that writes our grocery lists, and even machines that fold laundry. But for me, I refuse to...

Are our grandparents’ recipes actually healthier than ours?

cuttyrish @cuttyrish (3189) • United States 6 Mar

"There’s a huge trend right now called 'Retro Rejuvenation'—people are ditching the fancy 'superfoods' and going back to the basics: sourdough from scratch, fermented pickles, and slow-cooked stews like our grandparents used to...

Ellen brought me some eggs

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (168955) • United States 5 Mar

Ellen has chickens and she brought me some eggs. I will not say "no" to farm fresh eggs even though I still had quite a few on hand. So after work last night I hard boiled a lot of eggs, and I also made protein pancakes with...

Surprised.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (84295) • Daytona Beach, Florida 26 Feb

Good evening. I haven't done this in a while, but George asked me for it. For the first time in at least a year, George asked me to cook up hamburger and he actually ate it with little issue. I didn't mind doing it, but he...

celticeagle @celticeagle (188773) • Boise, Idaho 15 Feb

Tonight, my daughter is cooking Goulash. It is such a good meal and so easy to prepare. I love good and basic home cooking. Sure I go in for the fancier fare too but the basics are where it's at. Like beans and corned bread,...

Made Hamburger Helper Tonight with Ground Turkey

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7047) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 1 Feb

I don't use ground turkey often because of a bad experience with a pack I bought a few years ago that ended up having a lot of bones. However, I had some from Costco in my freezer and decided to go with that instead of ground...

Kafaiti pastry nests

Judy Evans @JudyEv (379714) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Jan

I wrote about making prawn thingys with kafaiti pastry. There was a lot of the pastry left over so I made some ‘nests’ with some of it which you can see in the photo. We had some with a prawn on top with our wine at night and...

Ours looked just like this

Judy Evans @JudyEv (379714) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Jan

Some time back we enjoyed prawns encased in kafaiti pastry. There’s a name for them that I’ll hopefully remember before I end this. Kafaiti pastry comes frozen – well, ours did – so you have to let it thaw thoroughly. Then you...
