Hello Everyone,
Today I would like to raise for discussion and sharing one of my most favorite topics: Cooking! (food:)). Since I was 5-6 years old I started cooking. I was amazed by the ability to make the treats and the food I liked the most, on my own. Although my skills were quite limited at the time I really enjoyed cooking:). I didn't abandon this passion and over the last few years I took it one step further and started making my favorite snacks (that you would usually buy in a bag) and finger food like:
Bissli- Spicy fried pasta
Falafel- Fried chickpea mixture
Shakshuka- Tomato sauce with poached eggs
Hummus- I think I don't need to explain this one:)
Sweet Potato Chips
I was even fortunate to conduct a virtual cooking workshop for approx. 200+ people and I was relived that the Pita bread came out just as expected :).
I'd be happy to share with you the recipes if you'd be interested :). But more importantly I would love to hear what is your favorite dish that you enjoy cooking or snack:).

Um....YUM!! The yogurt I prefer to use has 0% milk fat. Here's a picture of the exact brand.

Another weird bleep there 🙂

The word was "fat." Should be OK now.

Your Bagels looked so good I decided to try to make them myself, just used plain yogurt I already had on hand and they came out great. Thanks for the simple recipe!Everything Bagels

@norman those look great!! I'm so excited you tried the recipe 😁
12-07-2021 11:50 PM
I cannot believe this is so easy. I'll try and let you know ... 😅

Amazing! Looks delicious! I can already imagine the Smoked Salmon and cream cheese:)
Did you deep yours in boiling water with Baking Soda or you just do that when you want them to crunchie on the outside?
Here is my attempt:
And I also tried making Pretzels:

No frying necessary! The egg wash in the recipe (commented above) is what gives it a crunchy finish. All you need to do is bake them in the oven.

There are a few dishes that are my responsibility at home:
Grill during the summer
My most common dish is a burger with halloumi cheese and grilled sweet potatoes with coarse-grained salt and yoghurt (I fall in love with them during my one and only trip to Tel Aviv)
My dream is to get the perfect home-made chimichurri, but I am still experimenting with it.
Roasted chicken (or sometimes fish) during the winter
My typical Saturday breakfast for family
is a bagel/toast with cream-cheese, smoked salmon and an egg.
And my favorite dish for a quick dinner
is pasta with olives, garlic, lemon, rucola (missing on this picture) and Parmigiano.

This whole post made me hungry, so I need to log off and go look for some food now 😋
Smacznego / Смачного / Bon appetit!

I've been fortunate enough to visit Vitaliy's grill and can attest to its awesomeness 😄
12-07-2021 11:53 PM
That was actually the same what I thought, seeing Vitaliy standing at his grill

@morten-wittrock I've been fortunate to have you helping me in the kitchen that day!
10-17-2021 8:59 PM
Makes me hungry!:)
Thanks for tip for adding Lemon to the pasta. I guess you add it when served and during the cooking phase? Have you tried smoking meet?

The other day when I didn't have much time for lunch and no ideas what to cook, I went to this thread for inspiration.
I made the lemon-olive pasta and it was so good!
10-14-2021 1:31 PM
Reading this thread has led to 2 things for me personally.
10-14-2021 1:36 PM
Cooking is exploration, and that’s what I like the most about it 🙂

Steaks are my current upskill activity. This was a trip / Burgermeistersteak 🙂
10-15-2021 1:03 AM
@craigcmehil is there something left to upskill? These look great 🤤

I'm experimenting with different cuts of meat from my local farmers so far flank, triton, rump, fast iron and hip - there's a whole lot of cuts to try still 🙂
10-16-2021 2:07 AM
I see. Well, if you ever want an unbiased test panel in your search for the best cut, I hereby volunteer 😄
10-17-2021 11:55 PM
From your local farmers? Does that mean from a local farmers market or from local beef producers?
10-27-2021 12:37 AM
Local farmer, but many of them have basically a farmer‘s market/store on their property.
10-15-2021 2:11 AM
Looks great, Craig. What time is dinner? 😄 😄
10-15-2021 2:13 AM
It was dinner and lunch the next day lol
10-17-2021 8:53 PM
@craigcmehil Yummy! Do you have tips on how to select the best piece or you trust your Butcher's pick? Do you put them in Marinade before cooking?
10-27-2021 12:39 AM
The cut‘s are a choice depending on what type you like - for example a Flank Steak vs a Rumpsteak vs a Tomahawk - all are different types of cut with different properties. In terms of prep - I prefer dry rub but again I‘m discovering each type of cut works a bit differently. So start with the cut you like and go from there. I‘m partial to the Flank and Tritip 🙂

Ooh boy. Now I know that I am a total noob.
If you hand me something, I'm not the worst to prep it on the grill. But I have no idea about cuts (and bruises).

scones
I like scones. heres a recipe from a scottish newspaper, though I always associated them with Devon and Cornwall way down in southeern England.
They are typical tea time cakes served with clotted cream (which is slightly acidic) and jam. and a good tea, maybe Assam or Darjeeling.
Perfect between the hours of 4pm and 6pm. But no one will mind if you eat them in the morning.
The recipe:

Looks amazing. I will try making them for my wife as she is more into sweet things:).
Thank you for sharing

Thanks for posting the recipe! I just took some time to convert it to US measurements so that I can try it.

Scones! 😍 It's been ages I had them! I can imagine the "fluffy"-ness and lightness being difficult to achieve... I'll need to try this recipe!
10-15-2021 12:49 AM
I am happy to be right after breakfast reading and watching those juicy pictures. 😋
10-16-2021 7:07 AM
I'd like to see the shakshouka recipe 😄 It looks right up my alley.
10-16-2021 10:14 AM
We do shakshouka (which literally means something like "a mess") quite often during weekends with grilled vegetables left-overs from a previous day 🙂 Put all leftovers on a pan, add cumin, tomato sauce, eggs... grab a piece of white bread, and it is delicious!
@moshenaveh , what is your receipt?
