Hi,
I wanted to share something I’ve been using for some time now. I’ve always enjoyed cooking, but not everybody knows how.
All recipes is a really good collection of not only recipes, but also cooking techniques and nutritional information. Some of the ways I use it are; discovering recipes for things to try, for instance if I like black beans but don’t know what I want to do with them I just search that ingredient and get a ton of ideas. Narrowing that by category makes it less overwhelming, like black bean soup, or dip, something like that. I pick something that sounds good and try it, I usually aim for something that has lots of reviews so I know it is a popular dish tried by many, and I read a few of the comments for extra information and ideas for variations e.g. a soup recipe calls for vinegar but is unspecific, by reading some comments I can see that most folks like to use balsamic for this one and several suggest adding cumin, that kind of thing. If you are tracking nutrients or calories or grams, just click on the nutrition tab and you get the basic values, click expanded for all the details. One thing I especially like since I am cooking for 1 is that if you just change the number of servings on the recipe it automatically updates the ingredients for the new size. I use the free version and love it the way it is. If you want to pay some, I think it is small, you can get even more expanded features. This is a really great way to try new things and expand your palate with some sense of guidance, and there are also tutorials and videos for techniques if you haven’t done something before.
Bon Appetite
