cooking

[(Anonymous)]

I worked out my best spices. Cayenne, smoked paprika, garlic, and fenugreek. Those four spices can be used in various combinations to make anything taste good. Especially fenugreek, that one was a revelation.

Re: cooking

[(Anonymous)]

So what are all y'all's go to spices?

Re: cooking

[(Anonymous)]

Salt and pepper are a basic must. But it depends on the dish. Lemon pepper I usually have in the back pocket. But again, it really depends. I'm also a great pro-ponent of red wine vinegar and shallots. Subtle but flavorful.

Re: cooking

SA

To that end, garlic and onion are usually always on deck.

Re: cooking

[(Anonymous)]

Black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme. Cumin, allspice. MSG. Bay leaves. Those are really my go-tos, and I stick pretty close to them most of the time.

Re: cooking

[(Anonymous)]

Does MSG have a taste? What does it do?

Re: cooking

[pantswarrior]

Ginger in just about anything. With sweet things, cinnamon and/or nutmeg.

Also enjoy cinnamon with cayenne. Basil is good too, with or without garlic/cayenne.

Since I can barely eat solid food anymore, I mostly live off spoonfuls of peanut butter and/or Nutella, which is good with ginger/cinnamon/nutmeg type combos or sea salt/cayenne, depending on whether I want savory or sweet.

Re: cooking

[(Anonymous)]

Cinnamon, ginger, and/or cloves in savory foods is something that I didn't think would work, but utterly does.

Re: cooking

[dancingmouse]

Garlic, Onion, Salt and Pepper for just about everything. Italian Seasoning is used when needed. I also frequently use Ginger, Soy Sauce, Chili Paste, and Sesame oil.

Re: cooking

[(Anonymous)]

Star anise, bay leaf, five spice powder, coriander, green onion, cilantro. Doubanjiang/gochujang for that umami flavouring. Also gochugaru is becoming a fav stand in for chili pepper since it has a pleasant sweetness to it.

Re: cooking

[(Anonymous)]

How is star anise supposed to be used, if you don't mind me asking? There is a jar of it lurking in the back of our cupboard, but neither of us remember buying it or know what to use it in. I'd love to be able to do something with it.

Re: cooking

[greghousesgf]

it really depends 100% on what I'm cooking, sorry if this is a wimpy answer

Re: cooking

[(Anonymous)]

I basically live off whatever's in Clubhouse's Cajun seasoning. And black pepper.

No, I don't care if those things shouldn't go on everything. They go on everything.

Re: cooking

[(Anonymous)]

Chipotle powder, garlic, lemon oil or zest, thyme, rosemary, ginger, cilantro. Cardamom and vanilla for sweet stuff... soy sauce isn't a spice but I use it in most savory things. Other spices and herbs depending on what I'm making.

Recipe Requests

[(Anonymous)]

Since I did not want to hijack anon above's thread! I am looking for a chicken salad recipe but all the ones I seem to find have celery (blech) or grapes (wtf??) so... what's your go to chicken salad recipe? Or even just your go to 'can be cooked but eaten cold/at room temp for lunches' recipes?

Re: Recipe Requests

[(Anonymous)]

Cold roast chicken roughly pulled, shredded iceberg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, all sprinkled with pepper and a little lemon juice, and some mayonnaise. Maybe some paprika if I'm feeling fancy. Maybe a couple of sliced radishes.

Re: Recipe Requests

[(Anonymous)]

Oooh paprika, that sounds like it might taste interesting! Works for deviled eggs, right?

Re: Recipe Requests

[(Anonymous)]

Paprika works on everything. Put it on your breakfast grits.

Re: Recipe Requests

[greghousesgf]

lots of spices work in deviled eggs. Deviled eggs are like BBQ sauce, there's a zillion different ways to do them and none of them is wrong, it's all a matter of preference.

Re: Recipe Requests

[(Anonymous)]

Nothing fancy, but I start with roast chicken, usually breast but a mix of white and dark meat can be good, too. A good dollop of mustard (brown/spicy or wholegrain, not the basic yellow mustard), salt and fresh ground pepper, finely minced scallions, thyme and enough mayonnaise to bind it together without being goopy.

Re: Recipe Requests

[(Anonymous)]

Yes! I have seen a few recipes that use coarse-grain mustards which I am a fan of. I think I'm going to end up with a franken-recipe lol!

Re: Recipe Requests

[(Anonymous)]

It's hard to go wrong, IMO... chicken salad can have so many variations depending on what spices you like. It'd be just as easy to make a Greek version with lemon juice, oregano, garlic and some crumbled feta.

Re: Recipe Requests

[tabaqui]

The mild sweetness of grapes with the savory of chicken/the dressing is actually really good, but not to everyone's taste.

Re: Recipe Requests

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt I just don't like the texture they get after sitting sliced in the mayonnaise. Dried cranberries are awesome though.
