Ok, here is a scalable recipe for the rhizzone recipe bank which will be integrated as part of the forums wide minigames implementation
Low-ingredient Scalable Fruit Crumbles/Crisps
Crumble are like a dessert holdover from world war 2 rationing and only have 4 real ingredients - they are a great way to use fruit, which is often found growing on trees or else can be found in a shop. You can make them as big as an oven can fit. Also they are fully scalable and modular. they are perfect in every way and only take 10-15 mins to prep. also they are vegetarian but not vegan (see below)
Base ingredients:
Plain Flour
Butter/Margarine (cold) (if you want a vegan crumble you can adapt the recipe with coconut oil-vegan spread combos)
Sugar
Fresh Non-citrus Fruit (apples, pears, most stonefruit, many berries), or rhubarb
Extra ingredients:
Cinnamon/Nutmeg/allspice/ginger
Flaked nuts
rolled oats
Dried fruit (can bulk out fresh fruit)
This recipe is based on a simple scalable ratio of flour:fat:sugar - 3:1.5:1. That means for every 3 ounces of flour you need 1.5 ounces of butter/marg an 1 ounce of sugar. It doesn't matter if you a making crumble for 1 or for 1 million, its always the same ratio.
Instructions
1. Prepare your fruit - peel and core apples and pears, de-stone stonefruit.
2. Take a large baking tray and fill with your fruit to a depth of about 4cm. Try and use only 1-2 types of fruit. Apples + berries works well.
Sprinkle some sugar on top of the fruit depending on its tartness: gooseberries = lots of sugar, raspberries not so much. You can also sprinkle on spices at this point.
3. In a large mixing bowl add your flour, then add your little cubes of cold butter/marg. If you are using a regular baking tray you might want 10-12oz of flour. for a smaller one you might want 8 oz of flour. If you wish to add rolled oats, remove 1-2 oz of flour at this stage but do not add oats yet.
Using both hands (clean!) take a quality of the flour + fat and rub it between your fingers and thumbs to mash up the fat and integrate it into the flour. As you do let if fall back into the bowl - the key is to also integrate air into the flour. dont just mix it in a bowl (noob tier crumble). I tend to scoop up a small handful in each so it is resting on my 4 fingers then smear the thumb from little finger forward, like you are doing the classic and popular capitalism gesture "rubbing money" but with both hands. Do this a lot until your fingers ache with lactic acid buildup. By the end you should have a flakey-bredcrubish mix.
4. Add your sugar (remember the ratio, if you have used 12 ounces of flour you want 4 ounces of sugar.) mix it all together with a wooden spoon. if you are adding rolled oats add them at this stage (if you removed 1oz of flour, add 1oz of oats obviously)
5. Tip the crumble mix on top of the fruit, making sure to cover it completely. if you find you dont have enough mix, you can always make a bit more (scalable!) If you are advanced you can put flaked nuts on top at this stage, along with some nutmeg, allspice or whatever
6. Shove the whole thing in a fan oven at around 190C for about 40 minutes depending on size and depth of fruit
7. Enjoy with custard, ice cream, cream, yogurt whatever you might have
edit: in case there is confusion when I say margarine/marge I mean uk-style hard baking margarine, rather than soft spreads. This is oil based but often has some buttermilk added in the UK so its not vegan - always check the label.

Lentil soup
This recipe is 6 servings, but you can very easily double (likely even triple) it, as long as you have a pot large enough
Ingredients
- a little (olive) oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2-4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1.5 cup red lentils
- 0.5 tomato, chopped + crushed, or a tiny (~156ml) can of tomato paste
- 6 cups stock (i use vegetable, but any should work), you can probably go up to 8 if you want it lighter / need to stretch it
- whatever spices you feel like using, i like paprika, turmeric, thyme, black pepper
- (optional) chipotle pepper hot sauce (to taste) (secret ingredient)
- (optional) 1 lemon to squeeze into it / some lemon juice
Recipe
1. in a pot, fry the onions and garlic in the oil while stirring for 3 min
2. add the spices and tomato, stir them around and let the flavour release for a minute. if you're using a fresh tomato, let it cook down a little
3. add the lentils then the stock (and the chipotle sauce trust me)
4. cover the pot and let it boil, then turn the heat down and let it simmer for ~45 min, stirring occasionally. it's done when the lentils have split and there's no clear separation between the water and solids
optional:
5. blend it up, an immersion blender works great or you can transfer parts to a food processor / blender
6. squeeze a lemon in / add concentrated lemon juice
Notes
- vegan as long as you don't use meat stock.
- you can be very flexible with the ingredients and their ratios
- you don't need to soak the lentils.
- if the stock you're using is already salty you shouldn't need to add salt.
- the soup keeps for around 5 days in the fridge, maybe longer. it freezes really well too.
- in a pressure cooker: 15 min at high pressure then quick release

yeast hack: sometimes you have old, expired instant yeast lying around and you are worried that it wont work, - you can treat it like fully dried yeast in an attempt to revive it - whisk it in tepid water with some sugar dissolved and leave it somewhere warm-ish to come back to life - you know its working if bubbles are forming. If it doesn't, throw it away maybe idk. this will probably not work with the weeklong bread since by doing this you've slammed you palm meme style on the button labeled yeast ignition at the beginning

v similar to malian/'west sudanese' dish tigadegena. it's a lot of peanut butter, but that's fitting for "ground nut stew". best to use plain old peanut butter ie the sort that is just peanuts without substituted oils or sugar added

Extremely Authentic Borscht
One (1:) biggest pot you can find
One (1:) lots of beets, including their greens. if you somehow have beets without greens phone a scientist because that shouldn't be possible
One (1:) plenty of cabbage
One (1:) all of your fresh dill. frozen from fresh is acceptable in the winter. if you only got dried dill you have to starve, i don't make the rules. you can substitute chives but this runs the risk of my grandma breaking your kneecaps. she's not very fast these days but she will find you
One (1:) like a couple onions and probably an entire bulb of garlic or two
One (1:) whatever else you have on hand, carrots, potato, leek, kohlrabi, beans, tomato, peas, fennel, leafy greens that aren't lettuce, mushrooms, peppers, squash, the possibilities are unlimited
One (1:) some oil and some aromatics of your choice like bay leaf, peppercorns, cinnamon, star anise, clove, allspice. whole only please (powders are revisionist.) bundle them in a cheesecloth sachet so you don't have to fish them out
One(1:) enough stock to cover. leftover water from boiling potatoes/veg/noodles, steamed veggie drippings etc all count as stock. if you run out of stock you have fucked up but can do the rest with plain water.
One(1:) splash(es) of vinegar to taste
for the soon to be culled non-vegans: sour cream or yogurt (on the side) and beef (in the soup) are nice
Instructions:
make soup
pictured: roughly one and a half cubic feet of borscht. a small batch

THE POTATOES OF CHAOS
fuck it
nothing makes sense anymore. purple mashed potatoes. why not. make sure to reserve your potato water for stock
of course the potato water is green. it was neon blue while you were boiling them, so why wouldn't it be deep green now
reality is dissolving. truth crawls back in her well because what's the point. in your folly, you thought you could understand. but look: green water purple potatoes. this is the world we live in. abandon the hubris of knowledge.

Vegetarian "toad-in-the-hole"
Tools
Oven
Baking tray with sides
Knife
Chopping board
Pan
Hob
Ingredients
Squash/pumpkin/marrow/gourds/anything "squash-like"
Red onions
Veg oil
Old bread that you forgot about that has gone stale
Flavorsome Seeds (fennel/fenugreek/coriander/cumin/poppy/mustard/whatever tastes good to you)
Flavorsome leaves (Sage/rosemary/thyme/marjoram/chervil/whatever tastes good to you)
Salt
Gravy powder
Beer
Pancake batter (Flour, eggs, milk) or vegan equivalent
1. Chop up whatever squash you are using into inch chunks. Chop up the red onion into wedges. Put it all in your baking tray until it looks a bit too full.
2. Mix in your tasty seeds. A standard roasting tray full of veg should have around 1 tablespoon of seeds in whatever mix you want. Add veg oil - I use 1-2 tablespoons for a full baking tray depending on the size of your tray. Add salt
3. Roast until tasty (45mins-1 hour)
4. meanwhile, make your pancake mix and add in your diced tasty leaves, then put it to chill
5. When your veg is almost ready take out about anywhere between 10 and 20% and put it on your chopping board. Mix your old nasty bread and another tablespoon of oil into the tray and put it back in the oven, crank it up to like 230 centigrade.
6. 10 minutes later take it back out and the oil should be really hot, pour your pancake mix all over the vegetables and bread and quickly put it back, right at the very top of your oven.
7. Cook at high heat for 20-30 minutes. Do not open oven.
8. Meanwhile dice the veg you removed and dump it in a pan, mix your gravy powder with some cold water, and add that too, add some beer, simmer the whole lot until your toad-in-the-hole is ready (brown on top), cut into slices, plate, pour over the gravy and eat.
Recommended to eat with fried greens, saute'd greens, glazed greens, boiled greens, steamed greens, whatever, something green.
