Vibes based cooking

If you aren't cooking by vibe, are you really living?

Baking on the other hand...

I'm pretty sure most cooks use spices according to their internal feelings on what contexts the spices work well in. Basically the smell test except they have enough experience with the spice already to just do it in their head. Pretty sure this isn't that unusual.

"Can you share the recipe?"

"Nope!"

"Seriously?"

"Seriously, I don't remember."

Isn't this normal?

All cooking is vibes based.

It's baking where you've got to plan it out like d-day.

My chef yells at me because I do this all the time.

Though he's mainly mad because I didn't measure a single fuckin thing and can't recreate it

Wait until OP discovers that spices don't always taste like they smell...

I'm the rabbit. I also do a lot of tasting.

You may scream now.

Why yes, I do put a little cayenne pepper in my chicken soup. Why do you ask?

Isn't this just a sign of inexperience? If you have been cooking for a reasonable time, you will know which spices to use when going for what sort of flavour.

Considering the majority of flavours we experience are in fact smells, if you can cook by your nose you're usually pretty safe on how the end result will come out.

I'm not a foodie nor a chef but I've been able to break apart and reproduce restaurant dishes just by smelling.

It's funny that smelling the spices and the food as I cook it to see if they'll go well together is my main method of figuring out which spices to use.

It's the only way to season food. If you're good enough, you can just imagine the flavors, but I still have to rummage the spice cabinet and sniff to get the dish to taste just right.

"Measure carefully, friends!" - Chef Jean Pierre on YouTube as he yeets in approximately random eyeballed quantities of everything.

Blindly following recipes I will never get. How can you be comfortable with depending on a stranger's whims for what you eat ?

I cook by vibe mostly because I don't have the items the recipe calls for. So I typically substitute whatever I have that I think fits or smells right. Works well 9/10, just when someone asks me what I used to make something, I have no fucking clue.

🔥🔥 people who don't use spice 🔥🔥

Either of the “as directed” users are just cowards with no taste buds.

I just follow my family’s habit , add reasonable amount

me sniffing the spice of the coca plant

I just grab whatever random spices I have that sound good and add a few shakes

You guys don't cook by smell?

According to the label? I just checked most of it (GV, McCormick) has no info whatsoever.

The exceptions are spice mixes (rotisserie chicken, old bay) and a single expired bottle of Durkee celery seed (maybe their other spices are like this, but afaik this is the only one we have).

Best I can do is try different spices when sautéing vegetables.

Is this an adhd meme?

I don't even measure my spices. Pure vibe. Mostly because recipes almost always feel like they don't use enough of anything but salt.

Can anyone explain what’s going on in the picture for me?

You just know that bunny fucks

Powdered spices specially, by the time you open the lid, you have already smelled it.

Don't even need to try.
