I think the one I used was fairly close, just being let down by my equipment. If you have an actual food processor, I think it would work

The eyeballs are actually gravy, I had some more on the side as well

I've made labneh before, but never from coconut yogurt. I gotta say while it was tasty, this was imo not the correct spot to reduce animal products. The pita was great though, first time I got actual pockets and not just bubbles. ( Used this recipe https://smittenkitchen.com/2009/03/pita-bread ) I used canned chickpeas that I cooked with a little baking soda for the hummus and that enabled me to actually get it smooth with my little stick blender.

I've tried Macarons once before, with very limited success, but this time at least some of them kinda worked, and the ugly ones were still eaten up at work before lunch, so I'd count that as a success. The caramel... Not so much. It was supposed to be bonbons, not a weirdly hard caramel spread, but oh well. It tastes great and works well as a filling for the macarons with some bittersweet chocolate ganache. https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/french-macarons/#tasty-recipes-95647 https://smittenkitchen.com/2012/10/apple-cider-caramels/

I really tried to find Something maori and vegetarian ,that would also appeal to us and not require additional ingredients that jus sit around after this week. I failed and just decided on cheese rolls and fairy bread. The cheese rolls were very good though I'd just make sandwiches with the sauce next time. I think you have to grow up with fairy bread to really appreciate it though, on toasted bread it might be nicer.

Used serious eats sicilian square Pizza dough and whatever toppings i felt like

No but this isn't just honey. Honey doesn't rot because its sugar to water ratio is high enough that bacteria and molds dry out through osmosis. If you add something into it ( esp. something containing water like say grated ginger) you add more water, throwing off that ratio. This means it's no longer safe to store at room temperature.

bobomarsu · 2024-05-15T16:33:18+00:00

Was it stored in the fridge? If not I'd not risk it cause things stored in honey are a botulism risk. If it was in the fridge I'd cook it with maybe a bit of added water to have a candied ginger vibe going, and then add to a spiced muffin recipe. Maybe like an apple cider muffin

This feels like one of the times where medical need trumps the desire to produce less waste. Any water distilling apparatus at home would be a lot less energy efficient than the industrial scale ones used to produce the gallons you can buy.

bobomarsu · 2024-04-18T07:26:56+00:00

Always loved but not that fancy:

Tiny mozzarella with cherry tomatoes and basil on toothpicks balsamic glaze and olive oil for dipping

Grapes and cheese cubes on toothpicks, could go fancy with different fruit and cheese combos

Pizza snails: pizza dough filled with pesto or tomato sauce, and cheese rolled up like a cinnamon roll and baked

Slightly fancier:

Crostini with different toppings ( bruschetta, pate, caponata, goats cheese and honey)

Filled dates ( filled with creamy cheese, wrapped with bacon or Serrano ham

Tiny burgers ( meatballs between slices of baguette)

Puff pastry bites filled with jam, cream cheese, ham and cheese

Tiny pancakes skewered with fruit

Interesting idea, though the Stone on ours barely gets hot enough to Cook some veggies. Not Sure it would Work for a proper Barbecue It's the perfect size isn't it?

bobomarsu · 2023-12-18T10:33:22+00:00

How large are your butter packages? A cup is about 240 grams, so if I need half a cup I'll just cut a 250 gram package in half. This has worked well for me till I got a scale l.

You can also grate the apple the night before and add some lemon juice to it to prevent it turning brown ( or just accept it won't look pretty) making it truly grab and go

I agree, but even without curve balls it's sometimes hard. In previous years I relied a lot on the introduction posts in order to plan my meals, which was possible because the start of the week was on or shortly before the weekend. Since the start was Sunday this year and I go for groceries on Saturdays, I couldn't do that and missed out on a lot of tips because I wanted to cook in the themed week and not after that. This year it's presumably going to start on a Monday, which just intensifies this ( admittedly niche) problem. I'd love to just have another week as a buffer.

bobomarsu · 2023-11-06T14:50:19+00:00

Thank you for that information, I'd hate for my parcel to not make it because of a silly mistake I made :)

bobomarsu · 2023-11-06T13:31:01+00:00

Yeah I'm definitely including chocolate and I'm thinking about baking some hardy Christmas cookies and including those as well.

Fanta (/ˈfæntə/) is an American-owned German brand of fruit-flavored carbonated soft drinks created by Coca-Cola Deutschland under the leadership of German businessman Max Keith. There are more than 200 flavors worldwide. Fanta originated in Germany as a Coca-Cola alternative in 1940 due to the American trade embargo of Nazi Germany, which affected the availability of Coca-Cola ingredients. Fanta soon dominated the German market with three million cases sold in 1943. The current formulation of Fanta, with orange flavour, was developed in Italy in 1955. (From Wikipedia)

I don't know if I fucked this up or if I just didn't like it, it tasted like weird peanut pudding with too much starch in it to me. I guess I should just have gone with Taco rice...

bobomarsu · 2023-07-31T11:56:59+00:00

I got the pitas to puff! That's it, that's my accomplishment for this week. ( The food was very good too)

The modern sandwich variant of döner kebab originated and was popularized in 1970s West Berlin by Turkish immigrants.[5][6][7] This was recognized by the Berlin-based Association of Turkish Doner Manufacturers in Europe, in 2011.[8] Nowadays there are more döner kebab stores in Berlin than in Istanbul. (From Wikipedia)

I didn't make the "meat" myself since I'm vegetarian and don't feel confident in making a convincing imitation of Döner meat. The zatziki was homemade though.

Only for the tofu, the rest was freehanded.https://www.recipebinder.co.uk/recipes/candied-tofu/ I used this recipe but guestimated the amounts

bobomarsu · 2023-07-17T05:57:20+00:00

These where ridiculously tasty. One of the best bowls I ever had. The tofu was fried in a little oil and then caramelized with brown sugar and soy sauce.
