There could. I could've told him to buy frozen tendies and whine about all the chads wasting their time on roasties.

Sneak them into sauces. Dice up some peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, and garlic and throw them into the pan, the next time you're warming up can of pre-jarred spaghetti sauce.

You can brown a pound of ground beef, drain off the grease, then mix it with jarred spaghetti sauce right? Probably not, since you're asking about eating your vegetables.

Dude, get over your bullshit, and get a job washing dishes at a local restaurant. They'll give you food. You'll get hungry, you'll eat it. It will have veggies in it. Slowly, by necessity, your tastes will expand.

Or don't, and continue living in your fucking basement off of Hungry Man meals and frozen pizza. I don't really care what you do, I'm just offering you options.

One thing I will celebrate, is a good Cup Noodle.

Is there even one faggot in here, that has ever worked and payed their rent, in a professional capacity as a line cook? Or even had their own apartment, and had to produce something to eat, that didn't have "microwave 2 minutes" written on the side of the box?

Fuck off, professional cooks thread general. If you don't know how to make a bechamel or a roux, then get the fuck out. This isn't for you.

You knew what you were getting the minute you set foot in here.

Working in a kitchen sucks the grundle. You'll be over-worked, under-payed. You will most likely be working on an unhealthy drug- or alcohol-habit within two years. Banging out hostesses and servers is how most of us get by day-to-day. I hope you didn't like cooking at home, because you'll despise it a year from now. The only reason to do it is because you love the camaraderie of other dudes telling you you're a faggot, making jokes about every failure you've ever had (including all your sexual inadequacies) , and getting back at them in equal measure.

If you're looking for people to kiss your ass and say nice things to you, you're in the wrong business, son.

Whether this should be a /biz/ question or not, OP asks a couple interesting questions. Right off the bat, I'd say a lot of the most popular recipe blogs are already targeted at middle class Americans that want to broaden their repertoire. They assume some amateur cooking skills (basic ability to read a recipe, and knowledge of basic cooking and knife techniques).

I would focus in on a smaller demographic. Are there many cooking sites/ blogs that focus specifically on cooking for the college student/ young adult? That would be specific enough to draw an audience, but still broad enough to provide material. What can you cook in a cheap apartment kitchen on a budget? What can you cook in a dorm room? What cookware gives you the most bang for your buck? Add in recipes that use slow cookers, toaster ovens, microwaves, and hotplates, and you might have something.

As for social media, the best blogs/ vlogs/ youtube channels grow organically. I would do a two-pronged approach: a youtube channel to demonstrate the dish, with a separate blog so people can just look up the recipe once they've decided they like it and want to make it again. I wouldn't start a patreon right away, until you have some fans, otherwise it's too obviously a cash-grab. Otherwise, mention it to your friends on facebook, and encourage them to contribute recipes and ideas, and get their friends into it. Take to twitter and reddit to get your brand secured, and make a fb group for it. Google+ too, that seems to have only stuck with a more tech-oriented crowd. Shilling anything on 4chan tends to be counterproductive, but you could try voat too if you want.

If you could set it up with metric conversions, you would broaden your audience. The more search parameters you have, the better. It's best if people can browse recipes by time of meal (breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, snacks), course of meal (hors d'oeuvres/ finger foods, amuse bouche, appetizers, mains, sides, desserts)..

This is a Cacique casa, pendejo. You picked the wrong queso, puto.
