/ck/ - Food & Cooking

i'd be up for it, i need to expand my repertoire

>>6145685
If you're willing to run it, I'd be up for it.

Sounds like fun OP id do it if you really up for it. But you might want to have an off season or watch out and do different dishes during the /ck/ iron chef/chopped whatever its called competition thats coming up.

>>6145685
lets decide on a meal now and post pics w preps,ingredients used,recipe followed etc on Saturday

What do you suggest OP? Want to do some kind of winter dish since its so cold this week? Or a regional type dish to get to know where different /ck/bros come from?

>>6145685
Sounds good op maybe post give 5 different dish's and we pick from the 5 each fortnight? I think one a week might be to much for some people.

I'm nowhere near confident enough to contribute meal suggestions, but I'll try more or less anything.

How about rather than a specific dish, a meal theme or cuisine theme or 'starring' ingredient?
I'd rather see 150 (I know we're not going to actually get that many in any given thread, but I'm giving the greatest number possible) different general meals based around chicken than 150 renditions of roast chicken. Or a bunch of different homemade soups than several pictures specifically of vichyssoise. Or Valentine's meals or your understanding of curry or Japanese food rather than steak au poivre, vindaloo or saba shioyaki specifically.

>>6145685
Judging from the sheer amount of fast food threads I see on here daily I feel like this might be a difficult task for /ck/.

Yeah, I can see this going well.
Reddit's probably a better place for you, OP. Many of their cooking subs have recurring weekly threads exactly for circlejerking garbage like this. Fuck off over there and leave us to our fast food shilling and occasional actual discussion.

> Anon gets stuck on the first page of the question, disregarding the message

>>6146746
How do we choose the theme, then?

>>6146812
Kind of by chance I guess, maybe make a strawpoll and leave it open from now until the week of valentines and the most voted will be the inaugural catagory. Can be valentine or antivalentine style and go on from there if we want it bi weekly or monthly like a club.

>>6146147
No, no choice.
OP decides, if you don't like it don't take part.
If there's a choice there'll be a shit storm.

>>6145685
I would do it.

>>6146825
Maybe?

>>6146830
But how does OP decide? Not saying that OP is an ignorant fuck to the culinary world, but I'd hate to have the options limited to a single person's choices. Rather, maybe a rotating decider would be nice? Like... whoever cooks the best looking dish that week/fortnight/month decides what participants cook the following week/fortnight/month, maybe? And s/he can't be chosen twice in a row or something, to give each of us and our wide range of cultural and culinary influences apt chance to introduce us to something new.

I mean... what if OP was some cunt from Ternopil who has never left the area? Very limited world experiences will mean very limited knowledge of what to suggest for the rest of us. Rotating would be the best way, I think.

>>6146147
I don't think it's the same dish every night but one dish and you can make it any day of that week.

What if we all just cook something that we have never cooked before, post the results and the recipe, and then do it again next week?

>>6146852
I like the winners choice idea. What if we do ideas like the month of eggs or chicken and so on? I kind think itd be cool if you have different specialties to be able to do it a few times.

OP here again

Forming an idea currently based on the reading of the whole thread

>>6146288
>How about rather than a specific dish, a meal theme or cuisine theme or 'starring' ingredient?
that sounds like a good plan as well

>>6146855
>>6146855
>I don't think it's the same dish every night but one dish and you can make it any day of that week.
I was thinking this, as /ck/ threads don't die too fast anyway

OP so taking multiple people's ideas
>rotating foods
>general theme
>winner's choice
>easier for some people

Rotating 3 week schedule of cooking
1 week easy simple beginner meal (think like low level cooking)
1 week specific dish (can be more complex, ethnic, whatever)
1 week of general theme (country, specific meat, etc)

The winner of their week would choose the corresponding meal 3 weeks later, this gives everyone time in the interim to acquire any ingredients and plan, otherwise voting would run into the next week that meals needed to be made
Also Monday-Sunday for each 'week' timeframe


thoughts?

None. Just agreement, especially with the triweekly rotation idea. I assume you choose the first three thingies?

>>6145977
>But you might want to have an off season or watch out and do different dishes during the /ck/ iron chef/chopped whatever its called competition thats coming up.

It should start at the beginning of March/End of February, same as last year, FYI.

I'd participate sometimes, sounds like a good idea. Just keep it informal, not as a competition or a namefag thing. There's already a competition.

>I'd participate sometimes, sounds like a good idea. Just keep it informal, not as a competition or a namefag thing. There's already a competition.

The 'competition' part I feel would only be to decide whatever is cooked the next time, not really for bragging rights or a true competition of 'winner'

>>6146974
>None. Just agreement, especially with the triweekly rotation idea. I assume you choose the first three thingies?

Sure, I was thinking breakfast to start for the weeks as a good start

1st week -simple- french toast (not too many steps for beginners and easy ingredients)
2nd week -specific- eggs benedict (people can put their own spin on it, eases people in with learning hollandaise sauce)
3rd week -general- eggs! any sort of egg done any way you want, but egg-centric or featuring egg (this'll allow people with leftover eggs from first 2 weeks to easily be involved)
4th week -simple meal- WINNER OF 1st WEEK CHOICE
5th week -specific dish- WINNER OF 2nd WEEK CHOICE
6th week -general theme- WINNER of 3rd WEEK CHOICE
and so on

>>6147082
Why can't Lister eat all those eggs?

No. I mean, it's not a bad idea at all but that's just too much emotional commitment for me to handle from 4chan you dig?

>>6147082
I've already got an over-the-top idea for a French toast entry.
When are we to start?

>>6147138
We might as well start on Sunday/Monday and just have it pick up steam from there

It shouldn't take too long for anyone interested to catch on and follow

>>6147082
Love it op just let us know when you're ready!

>>6147289
Then my over-the-top idea for French toast will have to wait a bit. I just baked a loaf of bread today and would want to bake brioche, cut off a few slices and allow them to stale for the dish. Once I'm finished this bread, I'll start my brioche then make the French toast the day thereafter.

>>6147534
Fancy

although for the more beginner/simple folks I'm expecting whatever bread they have on hand lol, most likely white bread

>>6147542
The only white bread I ever have on hand is what I make myself and it's not really fit for French toast. I'm not going to spend $2 on a loaf of white bread when I'm only going to use a few of the slices, so for me, at least, it's brioche or nothing. If you'd prefer, I can either not participate the first week or keep my pics out until after the votes are in for who chooses the next beginner's round.

Really, most breads, brioche included, are pretty easy to make, tbh.

>>6147082
So you're proposing exactly what I didn't want:
150 renditions of the same dish rather than 150 entries in the same category.
>week 1: 150 renditions of French toast.
>week 2: 150 renditions of eggs benedict
>week 3: what I actually would have liked to have seen in the first place
Ugh.

>>6147560
>If you'd prefer, I can either not participate the first week or keep my pics out until after the votes are in for who chooses the next beginner's round.
naw man, post whatever you make, I was just making a general observation of what I expected, I think it's cool you actually make your own bread and will use it

>>6147569
>week 3: what I actually would have liked to have seen in the first place
then know every 3rd week you'll have a thread you want to participate in and look forward to?
there can be more variety in the other dishes as well if people want to put in time or effort into their own 'interpretation' of them

Any other thoughts by people? Seems like we're all set

>>6146776
>community togetherness

Ok fag. Like he said the circle jerk you're looking for is on reddit.

As long as the things can be made without having to buy something obscure at the store I'd be down.
From how you're describing it though it seems like we have freedom in how we make it, so it could work.

As a grown-ass man, that image made me giggle heartily.

>>6148025
Make a google document (or git or whatever else)
You should disqualify tripcode users if they use them in the thread, to prevent it becoming /WeeklyTripfagCirclejerk/, like what >>6147049 foresaw.

Hmm those sound like good ideas, I'll look into it

>>6147124
Isnt that mash and its Rimmer in his body

>>6145977
Why?
We want to contribute our atrempts, not compete.

>>6146871
I like this

Why are you making this a competitive thing?
Your OP made it sound like a chance for us to start learning to cook more often, not bang ourselves up with people who are more than competent.

>>6148641
Not Op but its not a competition the only remotely competitive aspect is the "winner" gets to pick the next 3 weeks. That way the suggestions stay fresh instead of 1 person thinking them up.

>>6146825
>maybe make a strawpoll
>>6148149
>Make a google document (or git or whatever else)

I liked these suggestions. Use strawpoll to decide and let people enter suggestions for themes in the google doc or something. Then the threads can (hopefully) be purely about discussing the food/theme and how to cook it.

The 'winner decides' thing would require some rules for voting and scoring to actually decide on a winner... and then I think most of the posts in the thread would just be people's score sheets like in the /ck/ challenge threads. Which is why I tend to kinda ignore the /ck/ challenge - I don't want to scroll through 500 posts that just say "0/10" to get the the few posts showing and talking about the food.
