Cooking & Baking Goals

Make an acceptable pupusa

by ryan • Completed

Not perfect by any means, a little dry, but the goal was to make an acceptable pupusa, not a perfect pupusa, so I say that’s a goal achieved 🤷‍♂️

Make a Two Tiered Cake

by kira • In Progress

Purchased more supplies to add to my collection! 👩🏽‍🍳 The two most important things I bought were: 1) a small cake tin (so I can stack cakes of different sizes), and 2) dowels (to support the tiers)

Make Sourdough Bread

by rh5 • Completed

My original starter died so I had to cultivate a new one. Doing so, I baked a very solid loaf by loosely following the recipe below. I don’t have a Dutch oven so I had to make some of my own modifications: - I used a cake tin - I put a pot of water in the oven as well so provide the extra moisture that was missing from the dutch oven - although the bread rose well, I needed to keep it in the oven for probably another 10-15 minutes. - also, the parchment paper (not shown here) stuck to the sides of the bread and cause uneven crisping of the crust so I will probably not use it next time. Maybe I’ll just check a Dutch oven. With that said, though, it tasted great and I’m happy with the result :)

learn how to chop vegetables like a chef

by jim • In Progress

I love to watch chefs as they cook, in particular when they chop vegetables fast and with precision. I'd like to master this skill too. I hope my veggies will cook more evenly when well chopped.

Lunch Salad

I’m wrapping up the salad goal so I move on to eating more complex carbs and fiber. Hard to do that with salads, but overall I’m feeling quite good about my salad making abilities now

Chicken sandwiches

by rbczheng • Completed

I stopped following recipes, which is a bad move. These sandwiches after the first 2 are horrific, and I decided that’s the best recipes.
