Tonight's dinner was Grilled Chicken Alfredo from scratch took me four hours to make my sauce and the dessert was a pecan and chocolate tart also from scratch. So umm yeah I love to cook. I buy Food Network magazine every month, I take an idea from there make it and then the next day I add my own spin onto it. I wanted to take culinary classes when I was younger but I was afraid that it would turn something I love into something I hate.

I LOVE to cook. I can't really put a theme on what I do. Most of the time I find a recipe, Follow it, then before I do the finishing touches, I tend to add on to it herbal wise. I'm big into cooking with Herbs. I even add Herbs/spices to my meats. There's to many wonderful taste out there to not find and experiment with ^^

Most of what I do is instinctive. I'll start with something basic like a steak, a burger, a chicken breast, a salmon filet, or whatnot, then I just look through the pantry at spices, sauces, and whatnot and just grab whatever I feel will might be tasty at the moment. Usually everything I come up with is pretty successful. So far my #1 winner is my orgasm pancakes (cinnamon and vanilla), but my burgers with close to a dozen secret additions are pretty kick ass!

bahaha, well I can cook.

I'm also like the mcguyver of cooking. Glitch and I make awesome ramen with veggies and meat in it every day, and I've made it without a stove and microwave buahaha.

No stove or microwave? That's jail ramen right there :laugh:.

I will say I am an expert at making authentic Hungarian Goulash, though I have not flaunted that ability in a good while.

With me, I seek out a trusted source for a knowledge base (a cranky Austro-Hungarian gramma in the case above), stick to traditional ingredients (I used ONLY sweet Hungarian Paprika), and then make an executive decision on how I want the dish to turn out. One time, in my haste to prepare an entire bowl and having it delivered to a friend at a specific time, an oversight actually made the overall result more delicious than it would otherwise have been! I let the dumplings simmer for too long, so by the time I removed the lid, they had absorbed ALL the remaining liquid. The finished product looked like a huge pile of raw red meat.

I can make Miso and Kitsune Udon quite well (same process for the soup stock).

Of course, there have been epic failures as well. One time while experimenting on how to prepare naturally derived spaghetti sauce, I accidentally made baby food instead :ralph

I love cooking. I can't get enough of it. I've never been one to keep a recipe book, but I'm thinking I might start. I have a lot of old family secret recipes and new ones that I come up with all the time. I love experimenting. I just can't do it at my apartment because I hate electric stoves and that is exactly what I have. But I still get some awesome food done.

I make a kickass venison chili,also bacon wrapped , double marinated, grilled or roasted tenderloin or backstrap. oh and Spook...the orgasm pancakes sound scrumptous! I was just curious if us goths shared the same talents being a creative bunch figured that cooking was a good place to start. I have also had EPIC cooking failures mostly involving pork lol.

Well, I am vegetarian, so I pretty much have to be able to cook, if I want food that tastes good and doesn't cost a fortune. Veggie enchiladas and 5 cheese lasagna are probably the two best things I make. In the last year I have tried to make some dishes with meat because my fiance is a carnivore, but it's difficult because 1) touching raw meat totally grosses me out, so I wear plastic gloves when I do, and 2) I like to taste everything as I go to make sure it's up to par, and I can't do that with meat.

I like to play around with recipes, but I also like to find a way to make things quickly and easily. That is how my lemon chicken with scallions came to life. Same with my italian chicken with grilled asperagus drizzled with a garlic butter sauce. I love making traditional family recipes. It's cool because not a lot of people make it the same way. Like lemon and mushroom chicken, kapusta, kielbasa, pierogies, dill pickle soup, chadnina, etc. (I spelled a lot of those wrong so you can read it like it is said and not how is is actually spelled)

Dill pickle soup is hard to beat!
