So many recipes and so little time to cook them all; however, knowing the many types of recipes will help you add to your repertoire of culinary talents.
Every food has a buddy, and learning food pairings is essential to becoming a competent cook. Some foods fight against each other when paired, while others have complementary flavors.
Building a collection of recipes for every occasion takes time and experimentation. However, the results of any cooking adventure are tasty as long as you do not burn the meal.
Appetizer recipes also have different types.
Appetizers can start a meal and are often for occasions where snacks are in order, like when serving cocktails.
Canapes — a canape comprises a small piece of bread, toast, puff pastry, or cracker. Toppings for canapes include
Cubed cheese of any variety
Pate’
Fruits and veggies
Charcuterie meats
Hors D’oeuvres — you can make hors d’oeuvres with items from the meal you are preparing. However, you can serve hors d’oeuvres at events, holiday gatherings, and meetings; the assortment is endless.
Crudité — crudité can include fresh fruits, vegetables paired with sauces, and dips that accentuate the flavors of the food you serve. Pickled foods are often seen on crudité platters, including olives. Crudités are one of the quickest and easiest ways to put out finger foods unless you grab take-out chicken nuggets or fingers.
Cocktails — shrimp cocktails from restaurant menus are what we are most familiar with. However, appetizers that go with cocktails of the drinking variety include canapes, hors d’oeuvres, and crudité platters. You can serve these items for business or pleasure at cocktail, indoor, or outdoor gatherings. Because when people drink cocktails, a little protein and carbs help dampen the effects of alcohol.
At the beginning of many meals and events are beverages and cocktails.
One does not think of recipes for drinks and cocktails as they do for food unless they are a mixologist or Sommelier. However, there are beverages for when it is hot, ones for when it is cold, and others because it is brunch, dinner, or happy hour.
Cold beverages — lemonade, iced tea, and flavored teas are easy to make for meals and special occasions. Many recipes are available if you do not have one of your own.
Hot beverages — are more than coffee and hot tea. Hot drinks include hot chocolate, Irish coffee, and hot ciders. Like cold beverages, many recipes available will give you recipes that go well with what you are drinking.
Alcoholic beverages — like various foods, some alcoholic beverages will go better with certain meals than others. For example, grilling and cookouts call for beer and fruity drinks, while Mexican food goes well with Sangria or margaritas.
Dinners that are more formal call for wine, and if you want to get real fancy, serve a different wine with every dish.
Breakfast and Brunch
The morning meal is the one I enjoy the most and can make the entire day go better. Preparing a brunch, however, often means guests and special recipes.
Breakfast Types
Every food we eat has an origin, and breakfast is no different. Brunch is the same. A brunch can be prepared to feed yourself or a large party of family or guests. After breakfast, brunch is my favorite meal of the day. It means special recipes and beverages and is often a gathering of friends.
American Breakfast
The composition of an American breakfast is as varied as the country, and demographics play a significant role in which American breakfast items are the most common.
Eggs, of course, fried, scrambled, pouched, basted, or in an omelet
Meats like ham, bacon, patty sausage, link sausage, or corn beef hash.
Grits, hash browns, or home-fried potatoes
Biscuits, toast, or pancakes
Gravies, jellies, coffee, or hot tea round up the ingredients of a classic American breakfast.
Continental breakfast
A continental breakfast is what more Americans eat, though, and can include
Muffins, pastries, and breakfast loaves of bread
Cereals
Juices
Energy bars
Coffee
Various teas
Energy drinks
These are standard fare at business events, hotels, and motels. However, many Americans skip breakfast and either grab and go to a convenience store or get breakfast from a fast-food restaurant.
English breakfast
The American breakfast has evolved from classic English breakfasts, which are mildly different. English breakfast is typically comprised of the following.
Sausages
Bacon
Mushrooms
Ripe sliced tomatoes
A thick slice of black pudding (
A fried or poached egg
Toasted bread
Brunch recipes for every occasion
This is my favorite meal to prepare if I am cooking for a crowd. The possibilities are endless, and brunch can include items like
Egg casseroles
Hash brown casserole
Eggs benedict
Cheesy scrambled eggs
Individual omelets
Blueberry, chocolate chip, banana, or classic buttermilk pancakes with a variety of syrups, fresh cinnamon rolls, muffins, biscuits, and gravy all do well on brunch spreads.
Slices of ham and bacon, patty or link sausages
Fresh fruit and creations such as ambrosia go well with brunch.
Fresh fruit juices, mimosas, and champagne will round up the brunch menu.
Add cake to your library of recipes.
I make one cake very, very well: an upside-down pineapple cake. This cake is easy, requires little thought, and goes with any meal. Everyone needs a cake recipe that is easy to prepare for guests or one you love so much that it comes out perfect, even when you don’t feel like cooking.
The four methods of making a cake are:
The four methods of making a cake are
Creamed cakes are also called butter/oil cakes— the cake batter begins by creaming the fat (butter or margarine) with sugar before adding eggs, flour, and other ingredients.
Cutting in refers to mixing the fat you use with the sugar until you have a granular mix. You then add the liquids, and everything is mixed together.
Boil and bake cake recipes require you to boil your fats and liquids together before adding the other ingredients.
All in one cake mix has you mixing all the ingredients at once.
Cookies and cookie bars
There are seven different ways to make cookie dough.
Pressed cookies have a dough you can run through a cookie press, yet it is stiff enough to keep its shape.
Rolled cookie dough is flattened into a sheet with a rolling pin, and then you cut the dough into assorted shapes before baking.
You make refrigerator cookies by rolling cookie dough into a tube shape, wrapping it, and then refrigerating it before slicing it into individual cookies.
Bar cookies are made by pressing cookie dough into a cookie sheet and baking. The dough is cut into squares once the dough is cooked and then cooled.
Drop, and molded cookies are similar and the two easiest cooking methods. You typically drop cookies by hand into pieces of two to three inches in diameter.
You make no-bake cookies by boiling butter, cocoa, sugar, and milk, then combining this mixture with peanut butter and rolled oats. Once the mix is together, the dough is dropped by scoopfuls onto parchment paper to firm up.
You make molded cookies much like refrigerator cookies from a roll of pre-formed dough. However, you do not refrigerate this dough before slicing it into cookie-sized pieces.
Pies, tarts, and specialty recipes
Pies, puddings, and fruit salads like ambrosia are all desserts that do not fit with cookies or cakes. Although pie is often categorized with cake and has a few similar ingredients, how it is prepared and cooked is different.
Cream pie filling is pudding. Whether it is cooked pudding or instant is up to you. A pie made from a pre-cooked crust, filled with pudding, and topped with whipped cream is fast and can save the day if you want something for dessert in a hurry.
Making a perfect crust is an art form, and many recipes exist. However, frozen and refrigerated shells and sheets of pastry dough work well and save time. Fruit pies are easier to make with pre-bought crust also. Therefore, a premade crust can save a lot of time when making a pie with fresh fruit.
Crème Brulee and cherries jubilee fit the category of a specialty dessert along with lava cake because, along with a fresh-made cheesecake, they are the king of desserts. If someone makes them for you, or you find them in a restaurant, indulge yourself because these delicacies have become hard to find and expensive.
Entrées
The main ingredient that you build a meal around is your entrée. Whether it is a casserole with everything baked in or thick porterhouse steaks grilled to perfection, every meal has a star component.
Entrees come in every variety, from composed dishes to roasts, steaks, stews, and even soups. However, the entrée for most meals is the meat served or, in the case of a casserole, the main dish.
Beef — is one of the most versatile meats we consume, whether it’s steak, ground beef for hamburgers, meat for stew, or stir-fry. Beef recipes include roasting, braising, stewing, grilling, and smoking.
Poultry — poultry dishes include chicken, duck, goose, pheasant, game hen, and quail. You can cook chicken in hundreds of ways, and it is one of the least expensive meats you can buy. The others listed here, including turkey, are more challenging to prepare and cook and are more costly than chicken.
Pork — chops, pork steaks, Boston butt, pork tenderloin, bacon, sausage, and many other items are made from pork. Pork is often the entrée of a meal and can be pan-seared and cooked, roasted, smoked, or made into barbeque.
Fish/shellfish — like steak fish and shellfish are expensive. So, whatever you are doing with your seafood, take care not to overcook it. Of course, you want it done, but an overcooked shrimp or piece of fish loses its delicate flavor and becomes rubbery.
Casseroles and one-dish meals — you can add any of the above meats to a casserole. Throw in some rice, pasta, a few other ingredients, and a little time, and you get a hearty meal. These dishes are fast and can be combined with fresh veg or salad to round out your meal.
Condiments, sauces, and dressings
Most of the condiments, sauces, and dressings we use are premade. However, many recipes for sauces, dressings, and condiments are better than premade ones, with fewer ingredients to mess up the flavors.
You can make ranch dressing from a kit, and Thousand Island dressing combines mayo, ketchup, pickle relish, cheddar cheese, and other essential ingredients. Other salad dressings are also easy to make, and you can use yogurt as a base when sour cream is called for and come up with personal recipes.
Hollandaise sauce is necessary when making eggs benedict, and is good on cooked vegetables, as is cheese sauce. Fortunately, you can buy it in a packet, boil water, stir it in, and you are done.
Gardens full of salads
So many salads, so little space, but there are only three types of salad.
Green salads — you make a green salad with a combination of lettuces, and they can be as individual as you are. Generally, green salads have tomatoes, onion, cucumber, shredded carrot, and croutons.
Composed salads — a basic green salad can quickly become a Greek, antipasto, or chef salad. These are called composed salads and use a base of salad greens on which you pile charcuterie meats, cheeses, olives, and several other ingredients, depending on the recipe.
Vegetable salads — potato salad, broccoli salad, carrot salad, and Cole slaw fit this type of salad.
Pasta salads — pasta makes a good base for a cold summer day as a side or a meal. Like green salads, you can add meat, cheese, and veggies for texture, vitamins, and an extra flavor.
Meat salads — tuna salad, ham salad, chicken salad, and salmon salad are packed with protein.
Fruit salads — you can make a fruit salad with any seasonal fruit. A platter of seasonal melons, grapes, and other fruits makes a light dessert, snack, or addition to a brunch.
Sandwiches — besides breakfast, sandwiches are easy to make, fast, and filling. You can make cold sandwiches, or hot sandwiches, for any meal of the day.
Breakfast wraps are easy and only require a small flour tortilla, a scrambled egg, cheese, and a cup of coffee, and your day will be well on its way.
Many sandwiches have cultural significance, such as the Cuban, which is made like a submarine and has a beautiful combination of flavors. The same goes for an Italian or meatball sub.
Corn beef and rye would not be the sandwich it could be without the bread and sauerkraut. However, a hamburger works well on grilled bread when turned into a patty melt as on a bun.
Soups and stews — these are the ultimate comfort food, and there are many types of recipes for soups and stews made with beef, chicken, pork, and other hearty ingredients.
Vegetables and side dishes — every meal needs its companion foods. Meatloaf screams for mashed potatoes and gravy. Stir-fry without rice is just a bowl of veggies, and pork roast and sweet potatoes have very compatible flavors.
FAQs about types of recipes
Can I substitute recipe ingredients?
Most recipes are created with specific ingredients. Some ingredients can be substituted while others cannot.
Are recipes seasonal?
Some are especially for recipes from fresh, in-season fruits or vegetables.
Are frozen entrées as good as fresh?
Some of them are, and food producers can make some items cheaper than if you buy the ingredients and make them from scratch. Lasagna is a prime example because of its ingredients. Making a pan of lasagna is time-consuming, and frozen products are almost as good as a scratch recipe.
