Hello all,

Until such time that Lemmy's user growth is at a point that it can support some of the smaller, niche cooking communities, these communities will be locked. We are asking that users sub to [email protected] until such time that these communities can be reopened. Thank you!

For recipes, questions, and all other general culinary discussion, please sub to [email protected].

Hello everyone,

We're calling it. The vote posts in Cooking, AskCulinary, Food, and Recipes are all overwhelmingly in support of OPTION 1 so we're moving forward with that decision.

So what does this mean?

  • [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] will all be locked until such time the user-base is large enough to support them. A pinned post will be in each community pointing everyone to !Cooking.
  • !Cooking will be the place to be for all general cooking discussion, questions about cooking, and sharing recipes, so we are asking users of the other communities to sub if they aren't already.
  • Mods will stay assigned to the other communities and we will periodically revisit to discuss reopening them. We are confident Lemmy as a whole will continue growing and we will be able to see every niche community thriving.
  • The more niche communities such as BBQ, FoodPorn, SousVide, and KoreanFood will continue as they are, but we encourage posting in them as well as Cooking whenever relevant.
  • The sidebar to !Cooking will be updated to reflect the changes as well as new rules for posting to help organize the different types of posts.

Thank you everyone for voting and taking part in this change. Any questions, please comment below and we will do our best to answer. Also, if you have any additional feedback, please let us know below as well.

Do you keep recipes somewhere? A recipe book, an app, notes? How do you organize your recipes? (lemmy.world)

I use Paprika. It's amazing to keep organized and find your recipes. Also the recipe downloader is awesome. Just go to a site with a recipe in the in app browser and hit download and it automatically formats it for easy use. The app is $5 but the desktop apps are $29.99. I don't know why those are so expensive, but I ended up getting it because I'm at my desktop a lot and it's way easier to download the recipe there than moving to my phone. They all sync together too.

I promise this is not an ad, I just really like this app for recipe organization. What do you guys use?

I mostly subscribe to a few RSS feeds of places online that I like their recipes. What do you do to fine new recipes to try?

Mushrooms are a favorite of mine to add. Just made a beef tips and gravy over rice and tried throwing some mushrooms in and it made a world of difference.

If you had to eat only one culture's cuisine for the rest of your life, what would you choose? (lemmy.world)

I think I would pick Japanese. There's just so much variety I find and I already eat mostly Asian food as it is.

How could shirataki rice be made to stick to itself in the style of sushi rice? (lemmy.sdf.org)

All the times I've tried working with it, it seems to stick to everything EXCEPT itself. Regular seasoned sushi vinegar as well as sushi vinegar-xanthan gum pastes of varying viscosity didn't work. :/

Assuming someone is at a somewhat beginner level and wants to learn more than simply a whole bunch of recipes.

Also feel free to shill for a youtuber or website.
