A place to exchange kick-ass recipes. Either your own, or links to ones you've found and tried (and which worked) online, or tweaks to classics.

This community isn't for gourmet meals or Michellin stars, it's for real recipes people actually use and love.

Also, no cuisine gatekeeping here, please. If you love pineapple and strawberries on pizza, or mushrooms and jellytots in carbonara, them you do you!

Bacon grease has a higher smoke point, a longer shelf life, and makes veggies taste amazing. It's also high in saturated fat and sodium, but ya don't need much of it - often just a knife tip's worth. The only time we buy bacon is when we run out of bacon grease for cooking, maybe 3 times a year.
