To be honest, Marc, I’ve always found it a bit ironic that your blog is called “No Recipes”, yet you always give us recipes. Real cooks don’t need ‘em! Give us what you got, written or not. The fun part is the cooking and photography anyway. This is your hobby.

If people can’t find an ingredient, who cares? Everyone has their own meibutsu, and their own special sauce. They just need to find it.

Oh, yum. It reminds me of chowder, which is always good (okay, I know it isn’t I think you should post even if there are absolutely no recipes. I’m sure the food will be very much worth it

I will eat oyster anything and love it. Raw, cooked, bbq, fried…
Your stew is so pretty with the fall colors!

I love oyster stews! Looks great and yes, it does look suprisingly creamy for soy milk. I think you should definitely write about your Japanese recipes. Even if a few of us don’t have the ingrdients, you’ll teach about how to use them if we did buy them.

This stew sounds delicious although I’m rather distracted by the word “crimini” LOL. I think posting without recipes is fine - as long as you are fairly clear about what ingredients go in. It’s nice to be inspired by things

That looks nice and colourful and good! I try to write out the recipes for what I want to make before I start making it so ensure that I have the recipe. If I modify it while making i I try my best to remember to write it down after eating.

i understand how hard it is to keep up with posting. it’s tough - esp. the recipe part. sometimes i am doing it from memory which is hard if you made the dish months earlier! we really don’t get paid for this, remember!

this dish looks so satisfying and rich. i wish we could get oysters for a good price.

Wow. What a GORGEOUS stew! My grandmother used to make a delicious oyster stew, but I’ve never tried to make one at home. After seeing your version, though, I think I need to rectify that! Oh–POST those recipes, man! Even if they’re exotic or hard to find ingredients, a recipe is just a starting point…Personally, I find it incredibly difficult to follow a recipe to the letter anyway, and I love love LOVE to see what other people come up with, whether or not I am able to recreate it. Besides, your food porn is killer. It’s worth posting for the photos alone.

oh what an amazing stew!!
i agree i’m gutted when i see something so amazing but yet i know it’s gonna cost me quite a bit (since i live on a student budget) to get those ingredients but i reckon you should still go ahead and blog about them. i’m sure we, your readers, will still love to know about it and see how you work with respective ingredients! it’s great to learn new things -suppose tt’s really the point of food blogs x
