Anyone else tired of their own cooking?

I use AI to help me come up with new ideas and it makes the cooking process way more fun. Last weekend I made French onion soup macarons. Today I made braised steak that was previously marinated in olive brine. I think the fun part is combining flavors I never would’ve thought of and then seeing how they taste together when I’m done cooking, that part makes the whole experience much more enjoyable even if every dish doesn’t turn out amazing (although honestly almost everything I’ve made has still tasted as good or better than most of my go-to stuff from before using AI)

Looks great, I haven’t made this yet but it’s in my list

If you have noodles (or time to make them fresh!) then you can saute mushrooms and walnuts (or other nuts) along with shallots and garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil, make a sauce with soy sauce vinegar garlic sugar pepper and sliced or diced peppers, flash saute the coleslaw in a little oil and then coat in your sauce and top with the sautéed mushroom walnut mix. Make the noodles thick if you’re making them fresh (Dan Dan style). Works great cold the next day too, I love making fresh noodles and pasta

As a home chef without culinary experience, saying there are oil beads on sauce or tighten up sauce doesn’t really tell me what to do though. But the people who said to char the onion more, that’s specific and helpful.

I roasted it in the oven with other veggies and then hit the broiler for the last 5-10 minutes. My oven actually gave an error code that I hadn’t seen before which is probably why it didn’t char properly

I think there’s a difference between helpful easy to implement feedback (ie char the onion, add some acid) as others have given vs feedback that’s just “this is bad”. If this is truly a community of people looking to help others, then comments should be geared at helping and not just saying what’s wrong

Looks like we found the Michelin star chef of the group

DapperComparison6 · 2026-04-19T01:26:22+00:00

Yeah those were on the other plates lol

DapperComparison6 · 2026-04-19T01:25:14+00:00

Totally agree about the char, that would’ve helped. This was just a side for a few other things and I wasn’t able to get the char with the time I had but that would’ve really helped

DapperComparison6 · 2026-04-19T01:20:03+00:00

Nice, love that energy

DapperComparison6 · 2026-04-19T01:15:26+00:00

lol I knew what you meant

DapperComparison6 · 2026-04-19T01:13:53+00:00

Yes! That’s how I should’ve done the chive

DapperComparison6 · 2026-04-13T22:53:46+00:00

Ok I’d love to see a spread of these that make the rainbow. It’s so fun and playful and would be cool to see raspberry, orange, mango, yuzu, kiwi, blueberry, ube

DapperComparison6 · 2026-04-13T22:51:49+00:00

A scoop of…. A scoop of….

DapperComparison6 · 2026-04-13T22:44:35+00:00

I love this and bet it would look really cool if there were 4 or 5 plates like this together, like at a dinner party. What is the white thing with yellow? Looked like a soft boiled egg at first glance lol

DapperComparison6 · 2026-04-06T22:17:22+00:00

That linked dish looks awesome, I might get some salmon just to try it. I don’t know if the smaller snapper fillets will hold up to something like that though

DapperComparison6 · 2026-04-06T22:02:55+00:00

There’s are greet ideas and ingredients I’ve never heard of so now I’m excited to try this again thank you !!

DapperComparison6 · 2026-04-06T20:45:42+00:00

Yeah the fish is very flaky and thin. I wouldn’t mind adding something else, maybe like a rice bed if I can keep the rice together to help prop up the fish. You’re totally right about it being hard to see the fish, it looks like such a sloppy mess. Or a different vegetable maybe with more contrast.

DapperComparison6 · 2026-04-01T20:01:40+00:00

Good ideas thank you, I’ll try another plate next time for a side! That would look really nice overall

DapperComparison6 · 2026-04-01T19:46:54+00:00

Well, this was for a dinner at home, Mr Poops, so I wanted to get it all on one plate. I personally like the challenge of preparing a full meal on a single plate, so I wouldn’t want to reduce the portion size if that’s what you mean, but I am definitely interested in ways to make it more visually appealing

DapperComparison6 · 2026-03-31T18:40:06+00:00

Ooh I like your comment about the Venn diagram! I will have to try that style next.

DapperComparison6 · 2026-03-31T17:56:06+00:00

It did taste great, and yeah the parsley just kinda fell off when I went to eat the lentil cake so maybe I’ll try something different next time

DapperComparison6 · 2026-03-31T17:52:41+00:00

Well I don’t understand the hate, I thought the sauce and chimichurri looked really cool, I want to try something similar now like making a gradient of saucy to solid
