Calling out all PG Chefs!

Ottoman · Jul 26, 2015

Everybody loves to eat. But how many of you love to cook and are proud of it? The world's best chefs are men anyway :duke:

So I was wondering what to cook for the family today; Sunday being a weekend and all. Decided to challenge my baking skills and picked Apfelstrudel (or Apple Strudel as it is known in English). It is a layered pastry filled with apples and raisins having origins in present-day Austria.

The most challenging part is making the pastry. Legend has it that it is supposed to be so thin one should be able to read a newspaper through it. I never got that far but stretched it enough without breaking the dough.

Added a touch of cinnamon and some sugar to the apple, rolled the dough into a caterpillar and set it to bake for 30 minutes till the pastry was golden-brown. Prepare your taste buds! and don't jealous

Mmmm......... the aroma of baked apple! I would suggest powered sugar and whipped cream to go alongside a slice of Apple Strudel.

Looks pretty good, I reckon you've been cooking for a while.
I need to polish my skills as well since living abroad, sick of eating burgers and pizzas. Following masterchef these days

afeef · Jul 26, 2015

Well i've officially cooked alot of chicken handis, my recipe is simple, add shan masala, some cream and butter with boneless chicken and you're good to go, i just need cream alternative as it's really expensive and i use only 2 tbsp of it.

living in Germany for nearly past 3 years now has forcefully made me a cook....actually, if I am completely honest, I can cook or bake almost anything by now.

Gordon Ramsey ftw

@ future wife : dont expect these skills to last...I will revert to being my old lazy self as soon as you arrive

Looks delicious. sadly I have no kitchen in my new accommodation so no cooking for me

Spartan 117 · Jul 27, 2015

That looks delicious Otto. ME WANTS IT!!

I can only cook Eggs (Scrambled, Fry, Omelette), Tea, and fry already-made stuff and create burgers/sausages/sandwiches from them.

neox3d · Jul 27, 2015

I can make a nasty English breakfast, with scrambled eggs, having butter and cheese, sausages, meat loaf and bacon. Though ran out of bacon a long time ago and still months before I'll get it again, I use turkey meat strips or if all else fails, chicken. Along with it fresh juice or English tea, slightly buttered toasts, with a side of mushrooms, beans and a little cottage cheese lightly fried on the pan.

And that's the extent of my cooking skills.

Ottoman · Jul 27, 2015

Yes everybody, it was delicious. Pie dishes are usually dry so it's essential to have an add-on to moisten it. Cream is good while syrups can also be used.

That's nothing to be ashamed about. You're better than most girls out there. I swear 'khana daari' amongst the new generation of women folk is at an all-time low nowadays.

I'm coming right over, my friend. Had been meaning to make a full English breakfast at home ever since I came across this article http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20150611-does-england-make-the-worlds-most-delicious-breakfast

Well I've been making omelette all this Ramadan and I really wanted to learn how to cook but sadly I didn't because lazy.Everyday I tuned into masala tv but they were cooking stuff that was just plain stupid . Nothing simple like yummy vegetables or chicken or beef or rice.Just snacks that will not fill you up at all.
