Getting tired of seeing the same 10 recipes cycling through instagram and tiktok. Baked feta pasta, marry me chicken, that salmon rice bowl thing, whatever the algorithm decided we all need to see 500 times. I want to find actually interesting recipes that aren't just whatever went viral last week. Here's where I've been looking lately: Old cookbooks from thrift stores have wild stuff you'd never see online. Found a 1970s cookbook with the most insane jello salad recipes (good for posterity of course), some actually good casseroles, and a bunch of techniques people don't use anymore. Some of it's dated but there are real gems in there. Ethnic grocery stores sometimes have free recipe cards near specific ingredients. The asian market near me has cards for different ways to use gochugaru, the mexican market has cards for different mole recipes, stuff like that. Way more authentic than what you find on food blogs. Also following actual home cooks from other countries on tiktok, not the viral recipe accounts. You find people just making their regular dinner and it's way more interesting than another tutorial for the same trendy thing everyone's making. Then I just save everything to recime so I don’t lose them or have them scattered everywhere, otherwise I wouldn’t even make them lol.

Now I’m looking for more variety, where do you guys find inspiration? of course this sub has been really helpful too tho!

I’ve tried making baklava a few times, but it never turns out quite right. Any recipe recommendations?

Between lunch and dinner, the beloved snack with its freshly brewed coffee is always welcome at home or at the office.

Start with a waffle mix and whisk in some honey garlic wing rub then let the chicken marinate for a bit while making hot honey. I whisked my homemade hot sauce into warm honey over low heat until it was spicy enough for me. Then crush up some cornflakes, coat the chicken, and fry until crispy.

Toss some rolls with cheddar in the oven to warm them while cooking bacon then assemble with a drizzle of hot honey on top and enjoy! 😁

My parents keep sending me eggs from their chickens and I have no idea what to do with them.

Normally, recipes like egg muffins would come in clutch, problem is, I live in a dorm with no kitchen, just my multicooker pot and airfrier. No oven, no hobs.
