Pretty good at steak too.

I can barbecue/grill marinated fish, steak, ribs, hotdogs.

I know how to use a wok. I've cooked various types of Chinese food on that wok.

I do too. And cake. We should start a bake off.

I can also make a basic pasta sauce based on olive oil. It's pretty good.

I like to cook, I hate cleaning up.
I've been trying to stay away from fast food, but can't resist it when I pass In-N-Out.

I'll send you cookies if you send me pop tarts

 

[Ishcabible]

I'm still sorting stuff out. I'll send it asap.

Post pics of your cookies in the mean time.

I make amazing ribs too.

Why pooptarts?


Back to cooking: My cousin made some awesome fillet minion today, he put salt and pepper (Yes, only salt and pepper... No saffron, basil, whatever...) and sprayed it with a shaken Corona over a charcoal grill

. It looked pretty easy. I bet we have some more, so I'm gonna try it myself, if I get the chance.

I love to cook when I get time. Im great at all types of food and barbecuing, but my specialty is baking desserts. My mom was a bakery manager so I picked up baking naturally. Nothing like over 50 oz. of chocolate used in making this 3 layers of cake to make my death by chocolate.

I love cooking without recipies ... like others here ... seeing what you can make from leftovers and stuff around the house.

Also big holiday meals, and parties. My wife throws shoe parties and I cook for all the women. This is great fun. Also every time she buys shoes I buy headphones, so it works all around.

One pot and slow cook -- this is what I focus on for the big gatherings (making mulitple dishes like this). And I like to cut down the fat by using e.g. turkey instead of beef, chicken instead of pork, skim milk instead of cream, reduced-fat cheese, that sort of thing. I like big heavy cast iron pots in a convection oven (rather than the electric slow cookers).

At xmas, my brother-in-law, who follows recipies closely and cooks classic Italian, shares my kitchen. I do throw-together. My dishes often tie or beat his, IMHO anyway! One of the guests last year actually said to him "Don't you feel bad, you slave all day on your dish, and Larry just whipped something up and it is just as good!".

Plus he listens to Bose.
