What kind of solutions do you think are possible for this issue? I can totally see your point, but I am unsure how to fix it for a person who really isn't interested in learning tons of recipes for each season.
I think the first flow is still fine, but maybe should just include going local and buying in-season items.
Knowing what you eat is important but I can understand why people are drawn to the easiness of a cookbook filled with recipes from any season.
- kls 7y agoA reverse cookbook app, I have these ingredients, what can I make?
- 52-6F-62 7y agoDieticians of Canada released a website and mobile app that does this. I use it from time-to-time: https://www.cookspiration.com/ https://www.cookspiration.com/ Edit: the site seems to work differently than the app. You can search by ingredient in the app.
- SAI_Peregrinus 7y agoIMO a better choice would be a cookbook app where you input a rough location & it takes that and the date to determine what's in season, then lists recipes using the probably-available ingredients. The "normal" flow (figure out what you're making, get the parts, make the thing) is preserved, you just do it with in-season ingredients.
- solatic 7y agoIt's not about learning recipes, it's about learning cooking as a matter of technique - everything from knife skills to the correct temperature for burners (high for boiling water, medium for bringing oil up to temperature, low for simmering sauces) to how to salt and season food for taste. These are simple skills which are generally not covered in recipes (due to their generic applicability) and, honestly, should be taught in high school as part of a home economics course.
