Hello all,

Wanted to gauge interest in having weekly pinned, themed discussion posts. For example, every Monday, have an AskCulinary post where you can ask cooking-related questions. Or every Wednesday, a post about favorite utensils/appliances. Looking to get some feedback as well as ideas for themes you'd like to see. Please share in the comments. If there's enough interest, we'll pick from the most upvote suggestions. Thanks and see you in the comments!

This is not necessarily a long term thing, but as the holiday season creeps up, things like 'favorite utensils' posts might gain some traction for people looking for gift ideas.

Oh good point, we could do some seasonal posts as well for stuff like that. Thanks for the feedback!

ooo I got one for ya - got this for my mother, it's both a utensil (sort of) and a gift idea. so difficult to shop for my folks, they dont "need" things anymore. anyway --> apple peeler/coring machine

Chowhound used to have a Dish of the Month which was fun. Lemmy has 52 weeks of baking but I think a week is too short, it doesn't have much traction. For me most of their topics are not interesting either, I think the current one is 'Piping'.

Thank you, this is a great idea. If we can get a good amount of recipes posted, I'd like to highlight a "recipe of the month" type thing as well. Thanks for the feedback!

I like this idea. Although I think there are times throughout the week when someone might want to post a question on a Thursday but can't because it's not the correct day of the week. And make them megathreads so they can be referenced throughout the week.

I think themed days for techniques, methods and practices of cooking would be fun. How about something like Ferment Friday or meal prep Sunday (I know it's stealing from Reddit but eff Reddit, Spez or whatever the case may be)

Agreed, I don't think there's any benefit to forcing questions in the weekly one. If you have a question, please make a post. The weekly posts would be more of a prompt to stir up an idea.

Yes, meal prep would be a great one. I know a lot of the meals I cook end up basically being meal prep since I have leftovers for days.

Thanks for the feedback!
