Pulled pork! Serves 4-7. Approximately $10 total.

6 Upvotes

Prep time: 5-15 minutes.

Cook time: 8-10 hours.

Ingredients:

~2lbs pork roast

~1 jar (18 oz) BBQ sauce (I use this, the sweet & tangy kind.)

~1 small, sweet Vidalia onion

~1 cup ginger ale

Directions:
Place the pork roast in your slow cooker. Dice/mince the onion and place the majority of it on top of your roast. Pour the ginger ale on top of the roast and onion, and then pour your bottle of BBQ sauce on top of that. Let the food cook for about 10 hours on low. Pull all of the pork apart with 2 forks and you will have amazing pulled pork for sandwiches.

(I generally put everything into the pot the night before I eat it, refrigerate it, and after I get up, put the pot into the cooker, and let it do its stuff while I'm gone.) As far as simple, cheap, and tasty meals go, this by far tops my list.

This is perfect for a college student (and since I am one, I will testify), or for when both parents work during the day. It's very simple and incredibly tasty. By far, this is the simplest recipe I have, and while easy, still tastes amazing. (Everything else I make seems to take hours to make, so if anyone has great recipes with a good mixture of meat and vegetables, please share or PM me! It would be most greatly appreciated!)

Sri Lankan Chicken Curry

5 Upvotes

Sri Lankan Chicken Curry, serves 4, $5-10

A really tasty Sri Lankan curry my housemates mum used to make for us. We thought there must be some trick to to make it taste awesome like long preparation or cooking time or hard to find ingredients. We were so wrong. It's really easy and cheap.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

Oil for cooking

1 tsp black mustard seeds

1 whole chicken cut into pieces (bones are okay) OR 1.5kg chicken meat (thighs, breast, whatever you like)

1 onion & 2 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 tomato(seeds removed), chopped

2-4 heaped teaspoons of chilli powder (more if you like it hot)

Optional ingredients (you don't need to add all of these, but the more of them you can find, the better): 4 cloves, 2 bay leaves, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 star anise, curry leaves

Directions:

* Place 1tbsp oil to a pot on high heat
* Add the mustard seeds. Be careful. They pop.
* Add the chicken, garlic and onion. Cook until chicken is slightly browned and the onions are see through.
* Throw in the tomato, spices and 1/2 cup water.
* Reduce heat and simmer for 1hr.
* Taste for seasoning and add salt & pepper and you're done.

Serve with rice or roti bread, sambal and maybe slices of cucumber.

Notes: My housemates mum said she's in a hurry, she'd just throw everything in a pot, bring it to the boil, then reduce the heat to very low and come back later. You may need to add more water if you plan on leaving it for more than 1hr.

I want to get a cookbook for a friend who is a history buff. He loves vikings but pretty much any era interests him. Does anybody have a good suggestion?

Easy pizza from scratch!

4 Upvotes
  • 3 cups self-rising flour

  • 1 cup warm water

  • a pinch of salt

  • a few tablespoons of oil (I prefer extra virgin olive oil, but even canola will do in a pinch)

Just mix everything together with a fork until it all sticks together. It might take a couple minutes, just keep mixing. Once you have a big glob of dough, sprinkle your countertop with flour and knead the dough until it is no longer sticky. You should keep sprinkling with flour. Once it isn't sticky, roll the dough. If you don't have a roller, you can improvise with an empty glass jar, just make sure you clean it first. Roll it out to the size of a 16" diameter pan with holes in it. The holes make a pretty big difference.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Top with 1/2 jar of sauce and 12 oz of shredded cheese, then return to oven at 500 degrees until cheese is browned.

I'm a first time blogger born with high-functioning autism and generative anxiety disorder (GAD for short). I always wanted to create a site based on my personal cookbook because a typical cookbook are full of recipes that I'm too picky to try. My Personal Cookbook is full of homemade versions of my favorite foods that I usually buy from stores and restaurants.

SIMPLY VEGETARIAN KETO COOKBOOK

3 Upvotes

We've been asking a lot about vegetarian keto recipes, so we decided to create a roundup of these recipes to get you started. All of these recipes are meat-free, but use eggs and dairy products. I tried to develop tasty recipes, so some mains, some sides, and some breakfast and dessert options

Then we bring you a weird combination of two dietary approaches: vegetarian and ketogenic foods are all the same. The Vegetarian Keto Cookbook brings you a whole package of meat and dairy-free low-carb meals.

Looking for old Children's Cookbook from AUS/NZ

2 Upvotes

I got this as a birthday present in the early to mid 2000s, and I've since lost it. I can't quite remember the name of the book.

The book was very colourfully illustrated, aimed at children from about 8 to 14ish. The pictures in the book only had children. It was hardback, possibly pink cover, and about the size of a dinner plate. It was super simple and easy to follow and had quite a few favourite recipes of mine that I haven't been able to find since including a peach and pineapple crumble, chocolate mousse, pavlova, and sunken submarines.The illustrations were similar to the ones here: https://imgur.com/a/aXaeVA3

Where to start on the cookbook?

2 Upvotes

Essential recipes might be quite good if we want to keep the recipes 'cheap', soup, bread, pasta sauce are the obvious places to start. I had a thought that people could also post how much it cost them to make. I know prices vary in place to place but it might help to get a general idea of a cost of a meal.

  • How do we set up voting on recipes?

  • Can we take recipes from /r/food, /r/cooking and all the rest?

  • What do people want from a reddit cookbook?

  • Could we market it in line with, 'Reddit the cookbook to sustain your internet hunger........' Cheesy I know but I think a good title will help!

  • Shall we make some videos to go with the recipes?

  • Can we really organise this?
