Ever since the pandemic hit, I decided I wanted to take up doing my own home cooking. I figured it would be worth it to make a thread where we share our cooking skills or just talk about cooking in general. I want to start off this thread with some homemade pizza I made today.

Keep posting, it looks pretty good, man! I'm hungry already, wish i could cook something like that to post it and eat it.
I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto. TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

Made another Pizza, this time with some sprinkled PepperJack cheese and a cauliflower crust.

Are you making your pizza crusts from scratch or from a kit? I've not tried making a crust from scratch yet (cauliflower crust sounds like a good way to avoid having to deal with yeast)

The first post used homemade crust, the 2nd one is store bought crust.

Ever since I started living alone, I try to do meal prep for myself on as many occasions as possible. Cooking as an activity is a lot of fun, but I utterly hate the cleanup. At the end of the day, it is a purely utilitarian action for me to gain nutrition. That said, today I made the best goddamn meatballs ever.

Even though my meals taste delicious, I don't like cooking. I spend a lot of time preparing ingredients and often use timers for boiling (or even roasting) processes, since I don't really know when to stop it. And even if there exists a visual condition for it, I abuse it. For example, boiled potatoes get overstubbed with my fork by the end of boiling process. Such things as salt, species, mayonnaise and other additives people usually add by eye (with no exact measure) are usually a failure for me because I often add too much of it. And I don't like videos named "Tasty Pizza in 10(15) minutes". I open it and I see the cheese grated, the sausage chopped and all other ingredients ready to spill on the dough and put in the oven. Darn! I spent 2 hours on cooking then. Yeah, it was well-made, but it certainly doesn't worth the time. Sushi. Ah, another meal that takes infinity to cook. 3 hours and 800 UAH out. Sushi-bar offered a similar meal at ~550 UAH then. No way I'll ever do it again! God, bless our women for their patience and countless time allots!
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

This is a good idea for a thread, I do like to cook/bake once in a while when I'm feeling up to it. I made some chocolate crinkle cookies for Father's Day, I'm pretty happy with how they turned out!

For some reason any kind of bread I bake comes out bitter... :( can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?

There are many things you could be doing wrong. What are you doing, generally?

Possibly too much baking soda. Bases can have a bitter taste. Try baking a bread that uses yeast as a rising agent instead of one that uses baking soda.

My mom’s birthday was a few days ago, but we celebrated late so we could do it on a day we weren’t busy. I made some applesauce cake for her. (The frosting melted a bit because I put it on before it completely cooled)

This is probably the best Pizza I’ve made.

Due to my country's proximity to Mexico, Mexican food is popular here. I found a recipe for a large rectangle of quesadillas made in a sheet pan and modified the vegetables to my liking. You can also substitute ground beef with chicken, or for a vegan version, substitute all meat and cheese with Daiya dairy-free "cheese". Vegetables and tortillas ready to be topped with meat and cheese: A finished quesadilla square:

The sushi looks very good. I've never made sushi because it's hard to make, but I want to try it a lot. If I find a good recipe, I'll try it.

Perhaps one of the difficult dishes I’ve ever made. Timpano. An Italian dish in the shape of a Timpani drum, which involves filling a Dutch oven with pasta, hard boiled eggs, salami, meatballs, and a bunch of cheese. It turned out amazing and a task that I can check off my bucket list.
