American Psycho Recipes? I'm looking for a recipe for every dish mentioned in the movie.

Here's the best list I could come up with. My goal is to assemble an ingredients list, prep list, cooking instructions, and plating instructions (keeping the 1980's plating methods in mind).

The movie takes place during winter, so seasonality of ingredients may come into play here. Then again these fictional restaurants are costly to dine at, so extra charges for out of season ingredients (at least in the 1980's in a major city) may or may not be important.

I would love to get these together and create a comprehensive album with step by step instructions, tip and tricks, and of course, tons of photos.

Thanks in advance for your input!

1. Squid ravioli in a lemon grass broth with goat cheese profiteroles

2. Arugula Caesar salad

3. Swordfish meat loaf with onion marmalade

4. Rare roasted partridge breast in raspberry coulis with a sorrel timbale

5. Grilled free-range rabbit with herb french fries

6. Peanut butter soup with smoked duck and mashed squash

7. Red snapper with violets and pine nuts

8. Sea Urchin Ceviche

9. Cilantro Crawfish Gumbo

10. Pork Loin with Lime Jell-o

11. Mud soup

Cinnamon Sugar Snow

Hey everyone, I'm working on my capstone project for my culinary school and I'm having issues with a concept. Currently working on my last course of 8: the dessert. My plan thus far is a Cinnamon Panna Cotta with a blood orange coulis and almond tuile. For the plating and garnish I'm looking for something that could be similar to a fluffy consistency of snow but to be stable at room temp and be made of cinnamon and sugar, plus whatever stabilizers I would need. Does anyone have any ideas?

Carbonade Flamande (Belgian Beef Stew)

Carbonade flamande is beef braised in dark ale that has a sweet and sour kind of flavor and just a hint of the yeasty bitterness of the ale.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes

• 3 cups (about two 12-oz bottles)Belgian brown ale

• Neutral flavored cooking oil

• Unsalted butter

• 2 slices bacon, diced

• 2 medium onions, diced

• 2-3 bay leaves

• 4 whole cloves

• 1-2 twigs fresh thyme

• 1 tsp. black peppercorns

• Several slices of mild dark brown bread (eg., not pumpernickel)

• Dijon mustard

• 1 cup beef stock or 1 cube beef bouillon (I use 1 Tbsp. Better Than Bouillon Beef Base or beef demiglace if I have that)

• Sea salt, to taste.

Preparation

Tie up the thyme, cloves, bay leaves and peppercorns into a bit of cheesecloth.

In a dutch oven or deep saute pan, heat up 1 Tbsp. butter and 1 Tbsp. oil and brown the beef pieces well on all sides over medium high heat. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding. Remove and set aside.

Brown the bacon in the dutch oven, then add the onions and cook until they're soft.

Add the beef back to the pot along with the beer, beef stock, and the spices tied up in cheesecloth. Bring to a boil, stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up any brown film in the pan, then reduce heat to a slow simmer.

Cover the stew with a single layer of the bread slices after "buttering" the down-facing side with Dijon mustard.

Simmer the stew for about an hour and then start testing the beef every 15 minutes or so, until it is fork tender and just barely holding together.

Remove the cheesecloth with the spices, dish into bowls with a parsley garnish and serve with a side of frites.

Hi guys, Im a university student who's looking for some simple recipes of meals that i can prepare and cook in bulk then put in tupperware and eat throughout the week.

I should add that I am a novice in the Kitchen (something im not proud of and as soon as i can afford to i will be taking cooking classes) however i do have an acceptable grip of the basics.

Perhaps I am asking too much in finding a recipe thats (a) cheap, (b) easy to prepare, and (c) able to be cooked in bulk/long lasting so I don't mind if getting the ingredients together is pricey as I will save money in the long run by cooking in bulk. I just want to eat more healthily as i'm tired of microwave meals and 2 minute noodles.

Vegetarian Lasagna with Homemade Eggplant Bechamel Sauce

Ingredients

• ~ 20 lasagna sheets (ready to bake).
• 1.5 kg (53 oz) frozen spinach.
• 2 large leeks sliced.
• 1 large onion chopped
• A bunch of fresh dill chopped.
• 3-4 large ripe tomatoes.
• 500 ml (17 fl oz) tomato passata.
• 2-3 garlic cloves.
• A bunch of flat-leaf parsley.
• A pinch of dried oregano.
• 500 gr (17 oz) mushrooms sliced.
• A handful of pine nuts.
• 2 tablespoons of butter.
• 2-3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
• 1 lt (34 fl oz) whole milk.
• 2 eggs.
• 5 large eggplants.
• 2 fresh mozzarella balls.
• 400 gr (14 oz) shredded mozzarella.
• 250 gr (9 oz) ricotta cheese.
• ½ teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
• ~ ½ cup of extra-virgin olive oil.
• Salt and ground pepper.

Directions

• Preheat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius (390 F) or even higher. Pierce the eggplants with a fork to create small holes to let the steam out. Lay them on a tray covered with greaseproof paper and cook them for ~ 1 hour until they start getting burnt on the outside. Remove from the oven and let them cool down.

• Heat up 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan (or pot preferably) on medium heat. Add the leek and onion and cook until softened. Drain the spinach well and add it to the pot. Stir well and let it cook for ~ 15 minutes while stirring occasionally. Season slightly with salt and pepper. Add the dill and cook for another 5 minutes. Turn the heat off and let it cool down. If you see any excess liquids, remove them with a spoon. When cold enough, add the ricotta cheese and stir well.

• Open the eggplants and remove their flesh using a spoon. Cut it in small pieces and place them in a bowl.

• Add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and sauté them until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

• In a small pan on medium-high heat, toast the pine nuts for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.

• Add the tomatoes, garlic and parsley to a blender and make a smooth paste. Warm up 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan on medium heat. Add the fresh tomatoes, the passata, oregano, salt and pepper and cook for ~ 15 minutes while stirring from time to time until the sauce thickens.

• Prepare the bechamel: Drain all the excess liquid from the eggplants. Add the butter in a saucepan and warm it up on low heat. When the butter has melted, add the flour and use a stainless steel whisker to combine them together. Stir aggressively to make a nice roux. While stirring, add the milk and the two whisked eggs. Keep stirring slowly until the sauce thickens. That may take ~ 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. When almost ready, add the eggplant, ~ 100 gr ( 3.5 oz) of shredded mozzarella and the nutmeg. It is important that the sauce never comes to boil. When the sauce is thick enough, turn the heat off and set aside.

‘Five-Star’ White Sandwich Bread – Prepared in a Bread Maker

If you'd like to see photos with this recipe, I've included a link at the bottom of this post.

You’re gonna love this recipe! The loaf bakes up super high with a lovely, springy texture – great for sandwiches, toast and French Toast. Because it’s made in a bread maker, you just add the ingredients, press a button and, in a few hours, you’ll be making sandwiches with freshly baked bread.

I love reading reviews of recipes and it seems people have fallen in love with this recipe. In fact many reviewers said they made this bread two to three times a week. You can’t have a better recommendation than that! King Arthur Flour calls this “Bread Machine Bread – Easy as Can Be”, but I prefer the name “Five-Star Bread” because this recipe is so highly rated!

King Arthur Flour, based in Vermont (USA), has been in existence as a flour mill since 1790 – that’s a long, long time. I truly love their products. When we had our farm in Quebec we traveled back and forth between our ‘Yellow Farmhouse’ here in Massachusetts and our farmhouse ‘up north’ – and I loved to drop by King Arthur’s Flagship Store, aptly named The Baker’s Store, in Norwich, Vermont. If you’re ever in the New England area, I highly recommend dropping by!!

Curd pancakes

Curd pancakes are traditionally made by mixing cottage cheese, flour, eggs, and sugar and then frying on a pan. To reduce the amount of flour my mom used to add banana. This also made them a little bit sweeter and tastier. I sometimes substitute sugar for condensed milk or honey, or add vanilla extract in addition to sugar. You can also swap flour for semolina, but I prefer to use plain flour. There are many ways to make them interesting and tasty.

Here is the traditional recipe:

• 250g of fine cottage cheese
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp of sugar
• 3 tbsp of flour
• 3 tbsp of sunflower oil

Use food processor to chop the cottage cheese. Beat the egg with sugar and then add your fine cottage cheese. Mix well and add one table spoon of sunflower oil to make pancakes more tender. The rest of the oil is used for frying.

Add flour and sugar to the dough and mix everything together. Cut the small pieces, wrap in some flour and fry on both sides until golden crisp. Use medium heated pan.

You can see some pictures of the final result here.

In the past I have used things like Peach Schnapps and Blackberry Brandy in cobbler recipes to amazing results. I'm curious if anyone has tried using sour apple pucker in baking recipes and if so how it turned out?

My current thought is to cook down some apples for a pie filling but to add the couple shots of apple pucker as it cooks.

Tamarind Chicken, a very easy chicken thighs recipe which is also very quick and tasty. Have you ever heard about the sweet Egyptian Tamarind?

Dinner got easier with this tangy and mildly sweet chicken thighs. Serve with rice, pasta or noodles. In less than 45 minutes, you’ll have a delicious homemade dinner that everyone will rave about.

Full Recipe link: http://ift.tt/2101CGD How to make it video link: https://youtu.be/RR87UWScxco

This is a very easy chicken thighs recipe which is also very quick and tasty. tamarind leaves the chicken tangy and delicious while sugar and vinegar helps tenderize the thighs – as if they are not tender already. I like using thighs in this recipe instead of breast as it is more flavorful and kid friendly. Easy chicken thighs recipes

I love tamarind drink, it is sweet, tangy and so delicious and it reminds me so much of the holy month of Ramadan. This drink is also very common in Egypt during the summer days, when it is super hot and humid, this drink comes to cool you down and hydrate your poor summer body.

This was my only experience with tamarind, until one day, one of my friends here made grape leaves mahshi and she used a clever trick of drizzling it with tamarind while cooking instead of lime juice and it tasted so so good, it was little darker than the usual one made with juist lime juice but it was much tastier.

Since then, I have been thinking of using tamarind in marinating chicken and beef but did not quite go for it. Until I just managed to figure out a nice combination of ingredients that really worked very well with chicken thighs. Feel free to use chicken breast instead but really, I believe chicken thighs are much better in this recipe.

We loved this dish and I am going to make it over and over again, not just because me and the hubby licked almost every drop of sauce but also because my youngest – who barely eats chicken- got crazy about this recipe and kept asking for more!!

Here is a video showing you how to prepare this simple tamarind chicken dish. I hope you’ll like it… Enjoy!!

Tamarind chicken Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs- cut into 1-2 inch pieces 3 tablespoon olive oil 2 teaspoon minced garlic 1/3 cup tamarind juice ( 2 teaspoon tamarind paste + water) 2 tablespoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon ketchup 1 tablespoon white vinegar 1/3 cup soy sauce 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup of water

Matcha Coconut Latte Recipe

Really great tasting latte that uses coconut and Matcha green tea. It's a super healthy form of latte packed with a huge amount of antioxidants and vitamins. With warm coconut milk and a spoon on honey it has to be one of most delicious lattes I've had.

Original recipe and picture can be found here

Makes 1 cup

Ingredients:

1/2 - 1 tsp of Premium Matcha

1/4 cup of hot water

1/4 cup of warm coconut milk

1 tsp of natural honey or sweetener of your choice (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1.

Take 1/2 tsp (or a full one if you like it strong) and put it into a mug or your choice.

Step 2.

Add a 1/4 cup of hot water to the powder and mix well. Use an electrical frother or Matcha whisk for best results.

Step 3.

Add the 1/4 cup of warm coconut milk and honey / sweetener (if you're using it) to the mug. Stir again until the honey is dissolved and you have a thin layer of froth on top.

Step 4.

Sit back and enjoy.

Tips:

For an even smoother latte, sift the Matcha beforehand. This helps eliminate any small lumps and therefore creates an even more balanced flavour.

If you like your latte slightly richer use full fat coconut milk, otherwise use light - it certainly works for us.

First Shot at Sous Vide Fried Chicken was the best I've ever made

Sous Vide Fried Chicken is simply the best fried chicken I've ever made or tasted. Moist, tender, perfectly browned.

Recipe:

Ingredients

• 8 cups water

• 3/4 cup kosher salt

• 3/4 cup sugar

• 1 Tbsp. garlic powder

• 1 Tbsp. onion powder

• 1 whole chicken, broken down into individual pieces

• 1 quart buttermilk

• 1 1/2 cups flour

• 1/4 cup cornstarch

• 2 tsp. baking powder

• 1 Tbsp. sea salt

• 1 tsp. cayenne (more to taste)

• 1 Tbsp. paprika (more to taste)

• Peanut or canola oil, for frying

Directions

Boil water and stir in salt, sugar, garlic powder and onion powder. When sugar has fully dissolved, remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

Place chicken pieces in a glass or plastic container, cover with chilled brine and tightly cover the container. Refrigerate overnight.

Remove brined chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Vacuum seal the chicken or place chicken in zip lock bags and remove the air from the bags. Cook sous vide using immersion circulator or similar at 65C/150F for two hours.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove from plastic and allow to cool to room temperature.

Return the chicken to a clean plastic or glass container and cover with buttermilk. Marinate for 30 minutes or more.

Mix together the flour, cornstarch,baking powder, sea salt, cayenne and paprika and put the mixture on a large rimmed plate or rimmed baking sheet.

Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large cast iron pan or a dutch oven. When the oil is at least 375F, remove chicken pieces one at a time from the buttermilk, shake off excess, roll in the flour mixture to coat well and add to the hot oil. Fry in batches, if necessary. (Note: If you like a thick crust, dip the chicken pieces back in the buttermilk and flour a second time before frying.)

Fry the chicken until the breading is a golden brown (remember, the chicken is already fully cooked) and place each piece on a rack over a cookie sheet to drain.

Brown Butter Ramen w/ Berries & Almonds

This recipe is what happens when I'm left alone with too much time to kill. It's a semi-sweet, "almost dessert" instant ramen. I'm curious to know if any one else on here has had or made any sweet ramen dishes.

You can find the original blog post and pictures here.

Brown Butter Ramen with Almonds & Berries

Ingredients

• 1 Package of Instant Ramen
• 3 Tablespoons of unsalted butter
• 1 Tablespoon of Honey
• Pinch of Salt
• 2 Tablespoons Slivered Almonds
• 1/4 Cup Dried Berries
• Cinnamon

Instructions

1. Toast the almonds over medium heat in a small frying pan until golden in color. It should take about five minutes, but your nose will also let you know when they’re done (it’ll smell like roasted nuts).

2. Brown the butter. I like to start with a pan on low and gradually increase the heat to medium, while stirring constantly. First, the butter will start to foam as the water evaporates, then you'll start to see the color change and it emit a nice nutty flavor. Once it had a nice golden color, IMMEDIATELY take it off the heat and pour into a bowl. The difference between brown butter and burned butter is only a few seconds.

3. Prepare the ramen noodles per the instructions on the package (don’t use the flavor packets).

4. Drain the noodles and place back into the pan you used to boil them. While still hot, pour in the butter, pinch of salt, honey, and berries. Toss until well mixed, then place in a shallow bowl. Top with almonds and a light dusting of cinnamon.

[REQUEST] Southern Thai Spicy Ground Pork and Chicken Curcuma Dish

Hi all,

I recently had the pleasure of eating a bright yellow dish that contained both pork and chicken, and quite a large amount of pepper. It may have been my single favorite dish of my entire trip to Thailand. I tried getting the name from the cook. She said it was 'kha min', but this gives no useful results on Google (apart from this being the Thai word for curcuma). All I know was that it was from Southern Thailand, and that it was absolutely delicious.

Does anyone here have an idea what this dish could have been, and how I can make it myself?

Thanks!

What was that best beans recipe of Reddit's history?

A few years ago, a Mexican user commented on a thread about his family's best black beans recipe. He cursed a lot, it had a ton of ingredients (cumin, white vinegar). I remember one phrase that said something like "some people rinse their beans. Don't do that. Throw the whole fucking can in the pot." I can't remember anything else about it, except that it was delicious!

I'm desperate to find it, after trying to remember it for years. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?!
