a brief reprieve from doctor who blogging to let everyone know i’m making brownies and am extremely emotional about having the power to create desserts

#cooking adventures #i am cooking everything i eat rn! #it took me a while to learn and get comfy and i still have a lot to figure out #but my mom literally would not let me in the kitchen and so learning to do this and feeling safe enough to try is so cool and magical #esp since i have literally always wanted to. #and DESSERTS. #DESSERTS

Garlic Naan

Recipe Used

Was It Good? Yup

I'm still hunting around for a really really good naan recipe, but this one's ok! Easy too. Basically just equal parts yogurt and flour, but still tastes good.

I've been cooking a lot lately and I have really discovered the joys of vegan recipe sites. I'm a vegetarian, but I don't like the taste of eggs or milk or most types of cheese and I'm lactose intolerant, so while I'm not giving up the occasional pizza when it comes to cooking myself I tend to find things on vegan sites waaaaay more appealing than vegetarian or omnivorous sites. I made the most amazing dish tonight and it called for cashew cream and it was my first time making that and it was sooo good. It made the dish really rich and creamy without the gross milky flavor in actual cream based dishes and without upsetting my stomach. I feel like I have solved the secrets of the universe lol.

#text post #my post #cooking adventures #the recipe in question was minimalist baker's creamy italian white bean skillet btw #it was great. highly recommend #i added some dried herbs (oregano basil etc) and reduced the red pepper flakes a bit but otherwise followed the recipe

the other day @elodieunderglass​ made a lovely post about picking plums and making jam, and then some nearby plum trees went absolutely hogwild on fruit production and I happened to be out on a walk wearing my 18th c. tie-on pocket and this happened:

(ID: a large mixing bowl filled with small red and yellow plums, currently soaking in water. end ID)

and now I have four jars of this deliciousness:

(ID: four jars of ruby-red plum jam sitting on a table. end ID)

it’s a lovely colour, and sweet with just a bit of a kick to it, and I would like to offer my thanks for reminding me that a) it’s plum season b) you can make jam with them and c) you can put spices in the jam (cinnamon, cardamon, allspice and a touch of nutmeg)

#crow talks #cooking adventures #jam #blackberry season is also just starting #this is how I learned that my tie-on pocket holds around 1.5kg of plums #I need to make more of those

people who write shit like “add oil, then season with salt and pepper and toss to coat” should not be allowed to write cooking recipes.

how the fuck do I toss something on a flat baking pan??? if you want me to coat something in oil and spices, it happens in a bowl or not at all.

what the fuck is “season with salt and pepper”? how much salt and pepper do I add? why can’t you just provide a normal measurement?

see, this is why I hate cooking: people just REFUSE to give simple, understandable directions.

I wanted to make a pasta bake tonight cuz they're the easiest thing I know how to make but my brother doesn't like the texture of pasta so I made a pasta bake the way I usually do but used gnocchi instead and it was kinda good? Could have done with a bit more garlic and probably more cheese to melt on top but 10/10 will be making it again.

#cooking adventures #crushing the garlic was a struggle #and when I say struggle I mean it ended up just being chopped very finely and not crushed at all oops

No Knead Bread

Recipe I Used

Was it Good? Yeah!

I was experimenting with no-knead recipes for a friend and for when I don't want to buy bread from the store. This recipe is totally do-able without a Dutch oven too, if you don't have one (I used an oven-safe glass casserole dish and aluminium foil). It's a very convenient hands-off bread. You put the stuff together, let it sit a couple hours, then it just goes in the oven. The taste is nice, if you want something kind of sourdough-y without the work of sourdough. The shape isn't great for sandwiches or toast though, and neither is the crusty-ness of the crust. This kind of bread would go very well with soup, stew, or a dip like hummus, though. I might try it again but make it more oblong instead of circular. Mine's a little dark-looking because I accidentally left it in the oven too long.

i hate to say it because i dislike the idea of kitchen gadgets and fads but unironically an air fryer is really useful.

#trust me i *wanted* to dislike it #but i do indeed hate frying and too much oil makes my stomach hurt and this is solving both issues #also it reheats food so much faster than and oven and better than a microwave #and this is just the low end $30 version #personal #cooking adventures #i would esp recommend if you dont have access to a full kitchen but want to cook. much better than a microwave.

If you have the time caramelizing onions is actually really fun

#text post #my post #they've been going for about 40 mins. we're getting there. probably another 10-15 #i'm making a dish inspired by mujadara #i've made mujadara before but without much success #but this recipe looked a little more flavorful to me #so hopefully it will turn out well #cooking adventures

[local-magpie]

#cooking adventures #ive had an incredibly cursed idea #just need to figure out how to tweak the marinade
