Not what is in the cupboard. What you feel like.

Pick more than one if you like. Every result says what it was matched on: the taste model is an estimate, the time is the number the recipe itself states, and the weight is energy computed from the ingredient list.

Clear

Fried squid

Squid has two cooking times and nothing between them: under two minutes or over thirty.

28 min taste 91 1164 kcal

Fried anchovies

Cornmeal is not flour: its coarse grains fry into a glassy crust, and the anchovy steams inside it.

30 min taste 87 906 kcal

Fish sandwich

Mackerel is an oily fish, and the whole recipe is about balancing that fat: onion, sumac, lemon.

Mıhlama

Cornmeal, butter and a cheese that stretches. The stretch is not a knack but a temperature: past 70 °C it stops stretching and splits.

20 min taste 86 606 kcal

Albanian liver

Liver must not meet salt before the pan, and must meet flour a minute before it. Two rules, two minutes.

25 min taste 87 570 kcal

Çılbır

Poached eggs on garlicky yoghurt, finished with butter sizzled with chilli. Three temperatures stacked: warm yoghurt, running yolk, scalding fat.

Eggy bread

The best use there is for stale bread. Fresh bread is no good here — it collapses before it has absorbed anything.

13 min taste 85 473 kcal

Pasta with tomato paste

There is no sauce until the paste has been fried: raw paste stays sour and metallic.

Cheese omelette

The colour of an omelette is a choice: pale means a low flame and brown means a high one, and the second is an accident.
