I enjoy cooking (and eating!) almost as much as I like sports. As a kid, I used to bake quite a bit. I really learned how to cook in graduate school. It has always been very relaxing for me.
I cook a little bit of everything, and I'm always trying new recipes. My favorite cuisines are Thai and Middle Eastern (Lebanese in particular). My "signature" dishes are desserts, "Taco Treat" (a taco dip recipe from my mom, and a longtime family favorite), and zucchini cakes (like crab cakes, but made with shredded zucchini...yum!).
Some of my favorite food links:
- YumYum.com: a searchable database of recipes. I've found some "keeper" recipes here.
- Kraft Foods: Kraft also has a searchable recipe database. You can type in up to 3 ingredients and a category, and it will return recipes that match that profile. Very handy!
- Iron Chef: my favorite Food Network show. Yes, it's cheesy, but that's part of the fun!
- Good Eats: another great show on the Food Network. Science, food, and trivia, all in one show!
