I use my memory, because I'm not a smelly middle aged woman like you.

Bum sniffer.

>>15135596
I just remember them, it's really not that hard...
only need detailed recorded recipes for fidgety stuff like baking imo

>>15135596
is étouffée good?

>>15135916
I like it, and it ain't too hard to make

>>15135926
>ain't
Thanks for the contribution, drumpfie.

>>15135596
Crawfish sloppa

Yum

>>15136035
>politics on the food board
leave

>>15135596
you should just remember them im surprised anyone has to write them down

>>15135614
so what do you do to keep track of the fidgety recipes?

>>15136267
>baking
I leave that to women, I cook real food

>>15136279
i get the feeling everyone itt only cooks trashy sloppas

>>15135596
Lmao recipies are for the feeble

>>15136279
Based. The only thing I bake is potato bread and it doesn't need a recipie. You just add flour until it isn't sticky and use your potato water as the carbs for the yeast.

>>15136280
ok roastie, once you understand the base foundations of a cuisine you rarely need to follow or remember any recipes you just know what to do
go back to cooking your vegan cupcakes for instagram likes

>>15136291

>>15136295
you have never worked in any professional kitchen. cope more instagram home baker

>>15136305
the more you think you know about me, the more you just reveal about yourself

>>15136291
This, you learn basic techniques and they apply to everything.

Sear
Deglaze
Brine
Dry brine
Roux
Sweat
Sautee
Bake
Broil
Smoke (and crutch)
Steam
Baste
Braise

You can make pretty much any actual food with these techniques. I don't eat deserts because they taste bad so I don't know much about creaming your sugar and shit.

>>15136312
are you the guy with that tattoo on your arm?

>>15136316
I have no tattoos.

>>15136312
not only this but you also learn the basics of each cuisine, the sauces, the spice mixes, the cooking techniques etc once you have these down there really isn't any need for a single recipe

>>15136331
memorizing recipes is still recipes

>>15136331
Correct, you should know how to make a bechemel and a bourmoniase etc. Know how to make a red sauce or a tomato cream sauce or a curry. A big red pill is buying whole spices and grinding fresh or using whole spices.

>>15136334
yes, see:

>>15136341
why do you act like taking notes is emasculating? kind of a weird flex ngl

>>15136346
>emasculating
never once said so, simply that it isn't needed

>>15136353
you referred to a post that calls recipes something for "smelly middle aged women"
regardless, obviously 95% of what you cook can be committed to memory
but if you don't have a few dishes in your repetoire that need a bit of referral, you're only stagnating and depriving yourself

>>15136374
not my post but it seems to be spot-on since you're so offended by it. my advice is you should save your buzzfeed recipes cook along webms to a single folder and they will be easy to find again

>>15136035
Dumb cunt.

>>15135596
>write them on a piece of paper
>put the paper into a drawer
how is this even a question

>>15136385
lmao i'm not offended
just sad and confused at people adverse to growth and knowledge

>>15135596
>I need to find a way to organize mine
what is the problem here OP? what's hard about organizing some recipes no h8 just generally confused

>>15136418
OP is a retard

>>15135596
I use evernote for the ones I save and a handwritten notebook for the ones that I develop myself.

>>15136374
Stop being butthurt you got called out roastie

>>15136393
Pull your head out of your ass you dumb cunt

>>15135596
There's a few baking recipes I keep in my bookmarks on my phone. Besides that, I don't really use recipes. I already have a good enough understanding of various techniques and how different flavors interact with each other that I don't need to. Although if I'm making a new dish, I will skim through a bunch of different recipes to get an understanding of the flavor profile and just make it how I want.

>>15135596
I just remember them. The only thing you need to remember is spices and herbs. Everything else has a basic cooking process.

>>15137084
>>15137089
stop being a proud anti intellectual retard

>>15135596
I remember the gist of it and let general talent and capability fill in the rest

>>15137301
>incapable of basic memory
>not a retard

>seething and damage control

>>15137301
Not either of those anons but I think you're being a little hard headed here. How many chefs do you know that have to pull out a recipe card to make a dish? Not very many, I'd assume. They know exactly what they want to make and call on there knowledge of technique and flavor to make the dish. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying to never look at recipes but that you shouldn't be looking at a recipe and just mindlessly following what it says. You should be looking at multiple different recipes to get a general idea of how the dish is prepared and be able to use your own understanding of flavor and technique to make it

>>15137373
truth hurts doesn't it?

>>15137376
no one is arguing any of the points you just made

>>15137373
projection

>>15137380
what truth? that retards on 4channel are scared to read because it might make them look a dumb gril? lmao

>>15135596
I write them down on a word document

>>15137393

>>15137397
Okay look at it this way, genres of music all have similar characteristics, but a bunch of sub genres. All dishes are sub genres of some mother dish. If you know how to make the mother dish it's simple little tweaks to create the slightly different dish you're going for.

>>15137412
right
we all have techniques and combinations in our heads but if i want to make a biryani or a pastry or a mole or a game bird i'm going to read some books or some websites because i'm not so familiar with these things and i want to take notes from people who are
likewise if i'm going to play holst with an ensable i'll refer to sheet music and not just try to wing it because i remember some of the melodies

>>15137404
shit son I legit haven't seen that meme in almost 10 years

>>15135596
I don't use recipes

>>15137436
If it's something new you obviously take some instruction, but once you get a basic feel for curry, pastry, whatever, you shouldn't need a recipe unless you have all timerz

>>15137390
You're arguing that not needing to mindlessly follow a recipe, is somehow "anti-intellectual". But most professional chefs and decent cooks aren't just following recipes like you are. Just keep following recipes and enjoy your culinary stagnation. Whore

>>15137454
idk you seem to be in an argument with yourself

>noo you can't disagree with unanimously disagree with me you're all just stupid incels and you can't cook, stupid anti-intellectuals!
imagine being so deluded to think only men post here and nobody on this forum knows how to cook, talk about coping

>>15137469
you seem upset
did your mom make fun of your penis or something?

>>15137346
This is a dumb chart. Most people actively get stupider after age 25 by working and consuming and avoiding discomfort with no self improvement.

>>15137475
>stupider
guess the chart is accurate lol

Imagine sharing a board with foids

>>15137492
Correct. I feel way dumber since college. I barely read now and have forgotten calculus.

>>15137464
I can't imagine being this fucking stupid. I was trying to be nice too. Oh well, can't help the helpless.

>>15137952
>calling someone a whore is being nice

>>15136035
Kill yourself sincerely

>>15137960
Kek

Reminder that these people legitimately wonder why they're lonely, friendless and repulsive to women

>>15135596
Recipes?

>>15137960
No, my second post was mean, that I'll agree with. But that was only after you were rude and dismissive of my first post.

>>15138026
i don't know which posts are yours, anon

>>15137988
SILENCE, whore. I have no need of your vile, rotten, meat flaps. For I have already obtained a gf. You'll only make a fool of yourself with further posts like this one

>>15137988
I like that this has become relevent again.

>>15138042
A pillow is NOT a gf, especially one you bought used :^)

>>15135596
She doesn't have the motivation anymore, but years ago my mom would keep two or three notebooks where she pasted cut recipes from magazines, promo flyers and more, with notes on the side about how it turned when she did them. She had one for general dishes and other for desserts.
With that said, just put them on your PC. Keep folders with the documents classified how you see appropriate (per country, per entry in a course, etc), and keep a spreadsheet with the folders and names for easy reference.

>>15138038
>>15137376
This was my first post

>>15135596
I should keep a notebook.

>>15136279
I bake and my masculinity is no more fragile from it, in fact most women I've been with likes it. Especially if you can give them little treats they can eat guilt free.

>>15135596
Anyways just use basic folder organizing, all recipes on digital files in folders sorted by what kind of category within cooking/baking they fall under, often listed by main protein/ingredient

Wow what an asshole-filled thread. It would seem that bakers are the biggest jerkoffs in the biz. Like cunta on the rag whew lads
