Question time!

1) 8 (scrambled eggs)
2) 12 years
3) My parents suggested it one day, and I thought, "Why not"
4) I LOVE FOOD :D
5) Being able to take almost anything and make it a good meal.

I think it's interesting. I look around at my peers, and barely any of them cook. I feel like a rare bird, because my diet and budget are absolutely under my control. No prepackaged meals, no expensive meals out. It's awesome.

I was 16 and I thought that if I got into cooking, this girl would be into me. Then I learned that you can't learn to turn a girl lesbian, but you can learn to make a delicious steak. Steak, or girl-poon?
Steak, my friends. Steak.

How old were you when you started? 19, lol.
How long have you been cooking for? 2 years.
Who or what inspired you to take up cooking? I figured if I was going to have to cook food for myself, I should embrace the artistic side of it.
What're some of the things, to you, that makes cooking worthwhile? Using the qualities of each ingredient to make a final product better than the whole of what went into it.
What's your greatest food accomplishment? My marinades are pretty damn good. I've got pretty well tuned taste buds so I can get the right blends for most things.

How old were you when you started?
- 3? I always helped my mom roll the cookie dough etc. Maybe at 8 she started letting me experiment with my own stuff in the microwave and whatever.

How long have you been cooking for?
- forever

What're some of the things, to you, that makes cooking worthwhile?
- knowing that it's going to be exactly what I want, watching the ingredients go in, the sense of accomplishment

What's your greatest food accomplishment?
- umm..... I guess when I made my own curry base and curried chicken for the first time with no packaged ingredients. Or these amazing rice balls that basically were chicken ala king inside of rice instead of poured over it.

Quoted By:

1. I was forced into a cooking position for a bar/grill at 19
2. Cooked as a hobby for about 7 years
3. I was inspired by working at an Indian restaurant and being surrounded with so many spices and interesting ingredients.
4. Hands on with produce, spices, herbs, meats. I like the manual labor involved as well as the transformations that happen right before my eyes as ingredients are combined and cooked. The experience of eating is also a major factor in why I cook.
5. Chili, Pulled Pork, Breads, Pasta Sauces.
