Vibes based cooking

[gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de]

for me it's easy because i mostly remember what i just made. but that's also because i pay special attention to what i do and what comes out afterwards, kinda to do semi-structured research.

Considering the majority of flavours we experience are in fact smells, if you can cook by your nose you're usually pretty safe on how the end result will come out.

I'm not a foodie nor a chef but I've been able to break apart and reproduce restaurant dishes just by smelling.

It's biochemistry

It's not that he can't recreate it, it's that my coworkers can't.

Wait until OP discovers that spices don't always taste like they smell...

[insomniac_lemon@lemmy.cafe]

According to the label? I just checked most of it (GV, McCormick) has no info whatsoever.

The exceptions are spice mixes (rotisserie chicken, old bay) and a single expired bottle of Durkee celery seed (maybe their other spices are like this, but afaik this is the only one we have).

Best I can do is try different spices when sautéing vegetables.

tried beer for the first time yesterday, thought it would be better than the smell. Nope. Struggled through 3 sips then gave it to someone else
I don't really get alcohol tbh. Ive only had like 3 or 4 drinks but no matter what it is they all taste bad

[skyezopen@lemmy.world]

It's an acquired taste.

Unless it's an IPA, they're gross and if someone drinks them then I assume they're just suffering to be pretentious.

/s?

[sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Beer is definitely an acquired taste. Plus there is a big fad around IPAs lately which are stupidly bitter even by beer standards

[taleya@aussie.zone]

You guys don't cook by smell?

[taleya@aussie.zone]

I fucking haaaaaaate hops, i hate the smell, i hate the taste, i also hate beer because i can literally smell the fermentation and it smells rotted.

Plenty of other ways to get turnt out there my friend

[sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

IPA haters rise up

[baguette@lemm.ee]

Im not usually a fan of alc but I do enjoy rice wine (korean flavored ones) and choya plum wine. Maybe you could try those? They're moreso a sweet alcohol and doesnt have that weird earthy bitter taste imo

[chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world]

A lot of IPAs are gross. Some are quite good. Bitterness is the most maligned of all tastes. Tons and tons of bitter things that people love and every one of them is a love/hate acquired taste thing.

Grapefruit, bitter melon, bitter black coffee, any sort of bitter beer (IPAs aren’t the only one), heck even burnt sugar!

[rizzrustbolt@lemmy.world]

All cooking is vibes based.

It's baking where you've got to plan it out like d-day.

[redaggrobest@lemmy.world]

The double IPA, the "I'm not an alcoholic" drink of choice.

[dumbass@leminal.space]

Man, now I love making bread even more.

[sivecano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

It's a bit of am acquired taste but beers are by far not all created equal. There's a stupid amount of diversity and large differences.

But if you don't enjoy it don't feel the need to force yourself.

[sivecano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Terrible how they decieve us

[mycatiskai@lemmy.ca]

That sounds like you are making yourself indispensable.
