I have lost my appetite for the past week or so. The only thing to do was to go back to simple but tasty. I decided on Burger and Chips. The girlfriend made the patties and I cooked everything. The onion relish was awesome.

Fresh pasta gets treated as an automatic upgrade on many restaurant menus, but quality dried extruded pasta often holds up significantly better for texture and bite. With oil-based sauces or heavy ragùs, dried pasta delivers that firm al dente chew that fresh egg dough rarely matches without turning soft or slightly gluey.

Fresh pasta clearly shines for filled shapes like ravioli and tortellini, or delicate butter and sage coatings. But for standard long strands and tube shapes, good bronze-die boxed pasta often binds sauce better and handles heat with far more forgiveness.

For those who cook both at home, which specific sauces or dishes do you feel genuinely demand fresh dough rather than dried pasta?

This month's rule spotlight. Last month was No Political Comments or Titles. This month, how to post video.

The rule: If you post a video, upload it using Reddit's native video. External video hosts in the post body are not allowed, so links to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and similar are automatically blocked.

Notes

• Links in comments still follow our Blog and Website Links rule.
• Keep videos about food. Non food content gets removed under other rules.

Why this is good for r/Food

We are happy to host your own food videos now, which is great. But posts that are just a link out to YouTube or TikTok carry a financial incentive and pull people into shortform video traps they rarely come back from. Native Reddit video keeps you, and the people watching, here in the community.

Most of them were very tasty, my favorites were the Pink Moon. A few of them tasted very bad, I did not get sick (this was about 3 days ago). 24 oysters each for 2 people, 48 oysters total. 12 pictured here

1 Cheesy egg, 1 thick sliced bacon, 2 inches of cucumber, 1/3 banana, 4 strawberries, 1 butter slice of toast and a glass of mango nectar.

Boiling in the hot water with rice wine and fresh ginger and a little salt. Boiling just 2 minutes to make it soft only.

Happy Organic September, r/food!

It's time to celebrate organic food and farming. Throughout this month, let's explore the benefits of organic produce, meats, and more. Whether you're new to organic or a long-time supporter, there's always something new to discover.

Share your favourite organic recipes, shopping tips, and any delicious organic meals you're planning. How do you incorporate organic foods into your diet? Let's kick off Organic September with fresh, wholesome goodness!

I added mushrooms, onions and capsicum sauted with garlic in olive oil. Added some homemade tikka masala gravy as a sauce. It was decent. I gave it a 3.5/5

To be honest, I made my first gingerbread cookies relying solely on videos, since I'd never made cookies before, but they turned out delicious.

I made butter chicken two nights ago, and a lot of masala was left. I basically used that masala for the marinade of chicken (chicken breast) after chicken was marinated in Halad, Salt and Lemon Juice. It was magical.

Quick and easy homemade chicken with tomatoes, dried chillies, ginger and garlic.

Does this look too burnt? 😫

Wasn't even planning on getting a burger but we saw one go past our table and immediately changed our minds.

Burger had mushrooms with a ton of melted cheese on top and the fries were ridiculously crispy. The warm pretzel bread was a nice bonus too.

It's a recipe I stole from one of my roommates, and it is so damn good. Mind the calories though haha

Utensils: 26cm (11inches) Springform Pan or similar sized baking tray, waterbath to melt the chocolate, whisk or hand mixer, big bowl to mix everything in

300g Leibniz Butterkekse (potential substitute could be Graham Crackers)
100g Butter
300g Cream Cheese
300g White Chocolate (we use Milka)
500g Quark (potential substitute could be cottage cheese)
500g Strawberries
1 Vanilla Bean
Chocolate Shavings for decorating

First, crush the cookies in a plastic bag into tiny pieces. Melt the butter. Mix the Butter with the crushed cookies and press the mixture into the baking tray, forming a solid layer on the ground. Put into the fridge.

Now, melt the white chocolate. Make sure you get rid of any lumps. When its nicely melted, set aside to let it cool off. In the meantime, wash your strawberries. Pick the nicest ones and put them aside to decorate the cake in the end. Chop the remaining strawberries into very small pieces.

Once the white chocolate is cooled off a bit, add the cream cheese, quark and the vanilla to a big bowl. Whisk, while slowly adding the white chocolate. We don't want the white chocolate to form chunks again, so its best to slowly add it while whisking.

Once the mixture is done, take your baking tray out of the fridge. Take a scoop of the cream mixture and apply a thin layer on top of the cookie-butter base. This is so the strawberries don't turn it mushy again. Now add your chopped strawberries. Then top those with the remaining cream mixture.

Now take your last strawberries, cut them in half and put them on top of the cake. Add chocolate shawings, and put into the fridge for at least 4 hours :) I usually leave it over night.

I am no master baker, and tbh I rarely ever make desserts myself. But this cake is just so damn good, I keep coming back to the recipe. So I felt like I should share it :) Keep in mind tho, this is VERY calorie dense xD

If anyone actually makes it, please let me know how it turned out! <3
