@DivergentDumpsterPhoenix
Summoning Seitan helps ^_^J
@DivergentDumpsterPhoenix I really think that ‘ingredients looking like they’d be friends’ is out pattern recognition in work. The very same thing that makes us do correct predictions even we can’t explain why we see that coming: it’s just so obvious. The same here, some ingredients just sing together. What’s interesting, after trying more diverse food, from different cultures, you suddenly see the friendship where you weren’t guessing it before, even if those particular ingredients were not involved in other cultures’ cuisine. I think, it’s ability to subconsciously recognize certain chemicals and predict their combinations
@olena yes I love mixing styles and ingredients from various cultures to make something different. I'm half Greek and love my Mediterranean dishes, but have found that they are well complimented by spices and styles from various parts of Asia. In a sense, I find that food is a really good example of the wonderful things that happen when cultures are brought together.
How to spot AuDHD cooking:
Autistic part plans everything beautifully and neatly, has the intricate, but very clear plan ahead. Then you start making it, and once the reality is involved, and something goes slightly not as planned, the autistic part says it cannot work in such conditions, and ADHD part takes over and finishes the job, and everything ends up chaotic
@olena I embrace the chaos
@DivergentDumpsterPhoenix cooking by colour.
1) decide whether its a a) monochromatic day or b) a day of contrasts
2) If a, grab ingredients of roughly the same colour (ex. green, beige, or orange, or something else, up to you). If b, choose foods that contrast pleasingly (ex. green and orange).
3) cook and mix, or mix and cook
4) eat
