I’m looking for websites, particular webpages, Youtube channels, etc.
I’m about to google this stuff but I’d still like suggestions to help me just do it and make sauces myself for basic sauces like sweet and sour, tikka masala, butter chicken, curry (many kinds).
I’ve started to make most of my meals in a Dutch oven. I throw frozen vegetables in there along with some kind of frozen meat and cook it all for ~45 minutes.
The next thing for me to do is make sauces myself.
It’s only very recently that I finally cured myself of my Pavlov’s Dog habit of buying frozen meals so I could stick them in the microwave oven and hear that ding. The food usually isn’t that good and I know even as lazy as I am - I can do better than that.
Kenji is the new Alton Brown. He’s brilliant and he’s changing the food game. A few weeks ago I thought, “do other people use this ingredient like this?” Top result is from Kenji. Then a few hours later I think, “Can I put this dish in the oven and roast it instead of watching the pot?” First result is Kenji.
Every time I make anything I try to push the envelope. I rarely look up any recipes. I just cook to better my dishes, but every time I think “did I just come up with something no one has ever thought to do?”, I find that no I haven’t, and Kenji already perfected its execution 4 years ago.
