Meat+Fruit

Especialy some type of sauce...say chicken with a blackberry sauce or something. Seems like combining the two could have some great results, but it's really hard to find recipes. Looking preferably for beef and chicken, and things that can easily be cooked in less than 4 servings. Any help?

Is there an alternative to sour cream???
 

Hey there...I just bought a cookbook that has some simple things to cook and I've ran across a few things that are good but they include sour cream......I HATE sour cream...is there an alternative to sour cream??? Just wondering...THANX
C'YA ?:-D

*edit: You can replace sour cream with plain yogurt. If you want to get the texture just right put the yogurt in cheese cloth and let the liquid strain out over night in the fridge.

Creative Ramen
 

I'm a starving college student who has zero cooking ability. How many people do you know that can mess up rice?

So the only thing I can consistantly get right is Ramen. I've become pretty skilled at throwing those things in hot water and watching them do their magic.

To my knowledge, though, there's only so much you can do with a bag of Ramen.

Does anyone have any good, quick, Ramen recipies?

I'll take tips on cooking rice too.

Is there any way to remove eggs stuck to the egg carton without breaking them?

I still havent gotten any responses to my earlier post... I'm looking for some ideas for an easy dinner... I'm not really a chef but I'm willing to learn.... any ideas or recipies you want to share would be great!!!

This thread reminded me of something I've been trying to find. There is this recipe that involves something called winter melon, but I think it's actually considered a vegetable. Actually, I'm not sure, but I'd love to get my hands on this recipe.

Also, coconut soup! The kind with wedges of coconut, some sort of fungus, and strips of chicken. This has got to be my all time favorite recipe (if I can figure out how to make it myself). Any tips?

I'm going to make Beef Wellington for my mom's birthday, but i can never make the dough anygood, it always break and crumble, I read somewhere you can use a pre-made pastry dough, does anyone knows what kind?

*Edit: Filo dough works very well. It's what we used at the restaurant. You can buy it in the freezer section of most stores.

Edit: Thank you very much.

How do you keep chicken tender?
 

Whenever I bake chicken in the oven, it almost always comes out really tough. I've tried wrapping it in foil and putting lemon juice on it, but I still get tough, chewy chicken. How do I keep it tender and moist? Oh, and I'm talking about baking whole chicken breasts.

*edit: Butter and more butter. If you don't like that option try wrapping a quartered apple and onion in with the breasts. The flavor is amazing while staying tender and moist.
Also check your cooking time, don't want to overcook.

BBQ at home
 

As a westerner that acknowledges the differences between grilling and BBQ, and only having a gas grill right now (the charcoal one passed away....)

Question: Since Grilling is slow cooking over indirect heat, can the same be acomplished with a crockpot? can I cook ribs in my crockpot with a dry rub, and liquid smoke, to get roughly the same sort of result from a proper southern BBQ??

Any insight would be appreciated.

I love the George Foreman Grill thread:
 

I LOVE MY GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL!!!!

I finally own one!!! It's SIMPLE!! it's AWESOME!!!

ITS EASY!!

My god!!! anyone have recipes?

Date ideas
 

Well Im looking for a fancy but elegant meal to cook up for my girl friend. I'd like something light so beef is out the question and chicken can be done up nice but seems too normal, I guess maybe something like pork tenderloins, or a good fish are my options....I was just wondering if you all had any other suggestions as far as meats go.

Easy Recipes to impress Chicks
 

They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but if a guy is able to cook for girl it definitely works the other way too. With that said what are some fairly uncomplicated recipes that would impress a girl. I'm not looking for anything gourmet here, but something that both looks and tastes good. Cost isnt too much of a factor although I am not looking to spend a fortune here on extravagant ingredients.

I'm looking for a recipe on a budget... On Sundays, if we want to eat anything new, one of the house members has to cook for the house. We have 54 people, but usually fewer are present at Sunday dinners. Anyway, we have $50 to spend to make this dinner. I was interested in doing this but my meal ideas end up being too expensive... I mean $50... less than a dollar a person. Any ideas for this? Doesn't need to be anything fancy, preferably something fairly easy to cook and a potential to serve 54 hungry college students.

Sorry for the rambling message, I'm a bit tired...

Edit:There is some ideas at Cheap food for fifty .If anyone has other recipes please add them to that thread.

Not sure what this is called, but I think you can buy them at some Asian bakeries or restaurants that serve dim sum. They're these really greasey pancake-like thingies with green onions and a few other things in it for flavor. I call them Chinese pizza, but they are more like large pancakes, except they appear to be fried and really greasy and crispy (I can't stress this part enough). I don't know the official name for it, but I'd love to get a hold of the recipe for it. Any tips would be appreciated. At the very least, I'd like to know the name of this dish. Feel free to send me a private message too. Thanks!

edit: As far as I know, there is no tomato sauce or catsup or cheese involved, so it's not pizza in that sense... more like an appetizer or snack.

Tuna Recipes?
 

Okay, I'm trying to eat healthier and am being told over and over agian that tuna is easy and great for you, but I can't stand it. Are there any ways to prepare it or mix it with anything to improve the taste?

It seems like anything that is good for me literally makes me nauseaus (sp?) when I taste it.

Help?!

Also, I am looking for a dirnk recipe for a "pea-picker", very potent, lime or lemonade base, maybe vodka or gin included.

Chest freezers
 

Time for Christmas shopping already :)

When I was young and we first moved into the house my parents are still in, the previous owners left us a giant chest freezer. My mom loved it, but it died about a month later. I want to get her one for Christmas, but I don't particularly know much of anything about them.

The biggest problem: the door I need to get it through is only 29" wide. Frigidaire, Kennmore, and Whirlpool are all 29.5" deep.

http://www.lowes.com/lkn?action=prod...9-83-FCM25RMWW

This one *looks* awesome, but I dunno. GE makes really shitty TVs, does that carry over to their appliances?

If there was no other way, the door jam could be removed from the basement door, giving 30" to work with. It would just be a pain in the ass, that's all.

So, advice? Google wasn't much help...they're all links for buying them in the UK...craziness.

Thanks

Anyone have a good recipe for a spicy smoked venison sausage? I've got about 20 pounds ground venison in my freezer and no one around here likes it plain(including me). I need to do something with it besides making snack sticks.

Looking for the perfect prime rib cooking instructions.
 

I'd like to cook some prime rib. Anybody have any tips or receipes?

When I moved a few years back I left my wok with my buddies back home. I have finally gotten one again and I can't find my good Asian cookbook. :(

If anyone has good recipes for woks they would like to share I would appreciate it! Thanks.

Oh...and any good Thai recipes! :)

Nice salad recipes
 

OK, so I like salads a lot but don't really make them enough. I guess the most common ones I try are the classic Greek Salad and a roquet, blue cheese (real French or Italian blue cheese!) & pear salad.

My wife gives out to me that I make potatoes with everything. Well, being an Irishman I think that's 100% natural and am aghast at the prospect of meals without them. LOL

But I've promised to try more salads.

Am wondering if any of you guys have suggestions for some good, tasty, easy to make but enjoyable salads.


Mr Mephisto

Edit: There are some salad recipes in the thread
Super salads for Mr. Mephisto. If you have recipes please add them to the thread.

I would love to find out how to make good chicken and sausage jambalaya.

Help! Want to make soup/stew with friends.
 

I wanted to have a bunch of friends over... like 6 - 8 ppl tonight.

We wanted to make dinner for us tonight, any suggestions? We're all newbies to cooking!!

I was thinking of a stone soup kind of dealy... everyone bring over a different veggie or item and we all boil it in a big pot. But don't know much more than that.

||Whoops.. feel *so* stupid... sorry||

Vegetable Oil / Olive Oil
 

I was just curious as to what these two types of oils were best for (what types of foods, types of cooking, etc)? Or which people prefer taste wise if both can be used.

Just starting out learning how to cook so i figure this would be a good place to find some stuff out. :thumbsup:


edit: Vegetable oil is pretty neutral in taste, whereas olive oil is pretty noticable. I would recommend experimenting with olive oil to see what kinds of dishes you like it in and which you don't. You can always mix them, too. Traditionally, olive oil is used in Italian and other Mediterranean dishes. I wouldn't recommend it in Chinese myself. Olive oil is great in salads. Get yourself some balsamic vinegar also and never buy bottled "Italian" dressing again.

Thanksgiving is coming, and traditionally, Turkey or Ham, Stuffing, rolls, vegatables, candied yams, mincemeat pie, pumpkin pie are some of the normal courses you may find. Anybody have any ideas. I have a turkey fryer and will probably fry a turkey this year, any good marinades? Any different side dishes that I have not listed?
You insight is appreciated.

I've been looking for a good fried rice recipes, I often have alot of rice left over at the end of meals and with a rice cooker, that's a everyday thing. I just got my hands on a wok and wanted to try my hand at good fried rice. Any type of recipes would be a big help!

REQ: Recipe for Chinese Fried Noodles
 

mhm, so i don't have the exact name of what i'm looking for, the dish is one of my bf's favorites to order from the pizza/chinese delivery place here in germany and they call it 'gebratene nudeln' which just translates to fried noodles :/

perhaps some sort of LoMein? i dunno, i'm not a chinese food expert...

anyways - it's noodles (similar to ramen-noodles in shape, but a little more 'substantial' in texture. i know exactly what kind of noodles to get tho, they're available here) with veggies (carrots peas mushrooms? leek/green onion) and egg and chicken.

what most stumps me is the sauce - i tried a bite once, and it tastes spicy/sweet. (and kinda greasy, presumably from frying it).
and this sauce is what makes the dish.

any ideas/recipes/suggestions will be appreciated :)

Does anyone have a recipe for Potato Candy?
It's a Christmas-time thing that I remember having in childhood but can't find a recipie for to save my life. It's made with potatoes and peanut butter rolled up into a log and cut into slices. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and can help, I'd be much obliged.

Question about Artichokes. I buy a jar of artichoke hearts at the store. I come home, open the jar, and eat a few. Then i put the jar in the fridge. The next day i pull out the jar and the oil the artichokes are in has formed a jello like substance at the top. Its disgusting! I have to dig it out with the fork to get to the artichokes. So anyway, the jar doesnt say you have to store it in the fridge after you open it. I figured maybe i can keep them on a shelf, even after they are opened up. SO i guess my question is: Do i have to keep the jar of artichoke hearts in the fridge after opening it? I wouldnt want to get food poisoning trying it the other way. Anybody know? thanks
