How to decide what to cook?

Where do you guys get your recipes/ideas from?

I have three places:

  1. Fauzia’s kitchen fun website

  2. Bajia’s cooking on YouTube

  3. Go to the ‘Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya’ thread on this forum and find pics of food which I like then search the recipes for those

However, Fauzia’s website is quite limited, and with Bajia I find she uses too much oil in her recipes and often uses a pressure cooker, which I don’t have.

I’m looking for new places for inspiration. Also when I do searches of things I often get Indian recipes, but I want Pakistani!

So, where do you get your ideas for dishes to cook, and can you recommend good sites for Pakistani recipes?

Re: How to decide what to cook?

Foodilicious cooks at work and delicious bytes on facebook have soooo many recipes. I need to plan some of my menus ahead so I can get ingredients beforehand. Generally it’s a balance of meat/daal chawal/veggies/pasta on a weekly basis so nothing is overdone on repeated continuously.

I like your meat daal veggies pasta routine. I follow the same except I never had the pasta in there - now I will add a fourth cuisine on a routine basis :slight_smile:

Will check out these websites too!
