/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Sounds like you, or whoever prepared what you've tasted, suck at cooking, OP. I've followed plenty of his recipes to a T and rarely have problems.
I make his pizza dough every week, sometimes twice. I eat a shitload of pizza. No idea where to get the malt barely syrup around here so I substitute it with brown rice syrup. If there isn't a difference feel free to call me a retard. I also follow his grilled tomato method for sauce which is nice and zesty. My buddy is a chef who started off practically running our town's favorite pizzeria since high school and even he was impressed by the pizzas.
I make his jerky recipe every week, the only problem I have with it is the recipe is a tad bit spicier than the flavor I desire, but it's probably what he was aiming for. Pic related, it's delicious.
The porkchop brine is great, if not a bit salty. Still tastes better than my roommate's chops, who just puts a slice of butter on them and throws them in the oven.
The beef taco recipe is flawless. I have nothing negative to say about it.
And his winter vegetable soup is great. The only problems I had with it were on my first attempt and doing a poor job properly cutting the squash. Ever since then I make it to keep me and roommates free of whatever winter bug comes around.

Yeah they guy's a pussy when it comes to frying a turkey, but none of his recipes are in any way dull or bland.
