This wasn't the prettiest pork, but the flavors were great! Getting the "assorted" chops for $3 meant I could splurge on a Red Mountain wine. This Kiona was marked way down because most people don't realize how underrated Lemberger is! careme.cooking/recipe/QFi-7...

Easier to get a good sear on scallops when they're fresh from the seafood counter rather than frozen. Or maybe my wife is just more talented. More importantly, it's squash season in the Pacific Northwest! #cooking careme.cooking/recipe/U-9Sl...

Never would have thought my only complaint about this dish would be that it needed more fennel! Dover sole continues to be a steal in Seattle, currently selling for half the price per pound of steelhead or salmon. #Cooking careme.cooking/recipe/q8dgr...

Sometimes you want a sophisticated Italian steak dinner. Sometimes you just need to use up the leftover cheddar-wurst from Oktoberfest with something the kids will actually eat. Careme’s got you either way. careme.cooking/recipe/TsI_F... careme.cooking/recipe/m0zi-...

This is what a Careme shopping cart looks like: less than $60 for 4 meals for 2 people. A meal-kit service will generally run you $80–$120 for the same number of meals. And there’s no way it’s showing up with a whole Dungeness crab. careme.cooking/recipes?h=gO...

Faster generation! Careme started using the latest Astra model to speed up while maintaining the high-quality recipes you expect. But not enogh! Now, recipes appear as soon as they emerge from your meal plan—even while they’re being critiqued and refined by our judge model.

Still figuring out the best way to work with frozen scallops, so these didn’t get that beautiful buttery-brown sear. Learned something, though, and it was still a very tasty meal. #cooking careme.cooking/recipe/tthMp...

One year ago, I made my wife an LLM-generated lamb recipe that she deemed “better than expected.” 365 days later, we braised five lamb shanks for 2–3 hours for a Labor Day dinner party, with great success and tasty leftovers. careme.cooking/recipe/ccmlP... Officially one year of Careme. #Cooking

Back when we used Blue Apron, I always wondered what was in that little packet of romanesco sauce—and where I’d ever find something like it. Now, with Careme, I’ve made it from scratch twice and licked the bowl clean both times. #cooking careme.cooking/recipe/XPBRb...

Our test chef hails from Kentucky, and to him, “Southern” usually means heavy food and limp, sad green beans. So he was delighted by this Smothered Southern Chicken with crunchy green beans. The gravy was as light as it was tasty. careme.cooking/recipe/NEdlI...

Do you share the kitchen with a passionate partner—or a rambunctious roommate? Do they need to know what’s cooking? Careme now lets you invite a partner to view your recipes. They can start prepping this Parmesan Salmon while you pick up the kids from soccer practice careme.cooking/recipe/mygw4...

At Costco and realize you haven’t had lamb lollipops in a while? Careme will give you a Turkish twist. I never would’ve gone with a pure tomato side or thought to plate the lamb over minty lemon yogurt, but both were a delight. The rub, though, was the real star. careme.cooking/recipe/mlf7W...

In hindsight, trying to reinvent Jinja2 with selfspun deterministic regex and accidentally Doing A Kubernetes was a really good experience to help me grow as an SWE. Now whenever I'm comparing, say, ChromaDB and SQLite + 20 lines of Python, I always ask, "Am I about to Do A Kubernetes?"

Eat too much of the giant apple pancake at oaktablecafe.com? Ask Careme to make something a little lighter for dinner, like this Provençal salmon with zucchini that came in around 450 calories. careme.cooking/recipe/yGAYM...

It’s summer, so Careme knows it’s stone fruit season! 🍑 Peaches in your corn? Absolutely. careme.cooking/recipe/54w7i... And maybe a little more risqué: peaches with your balsamic chicken and green beans. careme.cooking/recipe/m1YrC...

While our founder-chef was hiking at Mount Rainier, our sous-chef and investor needed a meal for one—and cooked up this lovely risotto: careme.cooking/recipe/QMrH9... She also used the “Tweak It” feature to add an extra helping of healthy spinach.

I never thought I'd be toasting rice, much less grinding it into a powder for a sauce. But this was a surprisingly fun technique, and it added an incredible nutty, salty, umami punch to a rib-eye. #Cooking careme.cooking/recipe/seGoJ...

A fun pairing: Spicy Sicilian Pasta with a budget-friendly Costco Chianti. careme.cooking/recipe/nh-Jv... costcowineblog.com/2022-kirklan... Grocery stores are great for dinner ingredients, but Costco routinely beats them on wine prices, with plenty of food-friendly bottles under $10.

Sometimes, while shopping or once you’re home, you need to change a dish: “I already have another dish with corn—let’s use a different vegetable" Careme now lets you tweak a recipe rather than toss it, so this: careme.cooking/recipe/Wp7fL... becomes this: careme.cooking/recipe/ArlGc...

One joy of stretching $4 of ground pork into two meals is that you can spend the savings on $20 Copper River salmon. The Thai noodles were great, though could use more crunch. I like the trick of blanching vegetables in the pasta water. careme.cooking/recipe/Epuzz... careme.cooking/recipe/vueu1...

I promised starch results 2 posts ago. So here first two which were pretty unexpected. Polenta with pork chops careme.cooking/recipe/-1CQT... and chicken with orzo. careme.cooking/recipe/lMWmD... Next up fancy dairy or the international aisle.

Let’s talk about price. While Careme can see deals published on grocery store websites, stores often have unadvertised in-store deals so good they demand a new recipe on the spot. This chicken was just 99¢/lb, and my wife said it had French bistro lunch vibes. careme.cooking/recipe/uyrae...
