Speaking of butterfat, I made a peanut butter mousse pie for a potluck.

Spoiler: it's setting in the freezer (click to show/hide)

GIVE ME RECIPIE

Unless it has eggs.

Then don't bother.

[penguinofhonor]

No eggs!

pie/crust

I used regular graham crackers for the crust because this needs to be gluten free and they don't make gluten free chocolate graham crackers I guess. I recommend it with chocolate graham crackers if you can do those.

[majikero]

They're both crust. Gimmie pie!

So many ingredients that I can't get here and would have to make myself.

Well, one ingredient. The main one.

I just acquired an old Volvo for a restoration project, and my SO and I made a few recipes* that my Swedish aunt cooks whenever we visit. Fish tacos and raggmunk (swedish latkes).

The tacos are simple. Sauteed halibut, seasoned with pepper, citrus, fresh herbs. Cucumber/cabbage coleslaw, spiced with cayenne pepper, lemon juice, saffron, and black pepper.

The raggmunk? It's a bit of a maverick recipe. Finely-grated potato with dill and egg. No flour. Pan-fried.

Toast up some corn tortillas, serve family style.


*I never ever cook from recipes. My preparations and measurements are all intuitive. My mother (a big recipe-book follower) absolutely hated it when I never measured things in the kitchen.

Speaking of this, do many people here rely more on intuition when it comes to cooking? I find that it's easier to estimate when it comes to stovetop cooking, but I prefer to follow recipes strictly for baking.

I estimate so much when I do stovetop cooking.

[acetech09]

Baking != cooking. Yes, measurement is critical when baking. I don't bake.

[crazysheep]

I've been told baking is advanced cooking

Well, except with bread. You can do just about anything to bread, and it'll be fine. But pastry? Man, fuck that shit is fiddly.

Cookies are really easy too

I glance over recipes when trying something completely foreign, but usually only to get a grasp on the ingredients.

Cooking is art. Baking is science.

[Helgoland]

Cooking is art. Baking is science.

This. And I do enough science at university, I don't need it in my kitchen as well.
