Share recipes or suggestions for food to make. I was a chef for over ten years or so, but I always run out of ideas for things to cook when I get home. I need likeminded folks to help me out with this endeavor.

Goner put out a great cookbook of things shared on their message board. Why can't we have a Total Punk equivalent?

I bought The Food Lab book right before the pandemic hit and it came at a perfect time. So many good recipes in that book. I've learned so much from it. Can always just google Kenji's Serious Eats or NYT recipes and see what comes up as lots are posted there. His newest book The Wok is also great and lots of good stuff on his Youtube channel as well - https://www.youtube.com/@JKenjiLopezAlt/videos

      Garlic Parsley Bean Soup (adapted from Marcella Hazan's Italian Cooking)

      ingredients
      1/2 cup olive oil
      5-8 garlic cloves (diced)
      4 cans cannellini beans
      2 tbsp parsley (chopped)
      1 cup chicken broth

      I use dutch over . Put on stove,
      1/2 cup olive oil heat up 5-8 diced garlic cloves (according to how much one likes garlic)
      once garlic pale gold, add 4 cans of strained cannellini beans , add salt and pepper to taste
      get good simmer going ,put on lid for 5 mins .
      take off lid, remove 1/2cup of beans from pot, put in food processor , process briefly, put back into pot,
      add chicken broth, bring to boil, lower heat to simmer for another 5-10 mins depending on how soupy vs thick you like it , i generally go a full 10 mins as i like it bit thicker , taste fr salt , add if necessary. turn off heat, swirl in parsley & eat.

      i like to have it with some toasted baguette and leftovers next days as even thicker, can be used to do kind of a white
      bean crostini fr lunch.

      pretty healtjhy and super easy . make this pretty much every week .
