Seems everyone carved out their own little corner to post their thoughts and have fun with everyone...figured it was time to make my own... :D

Welcome to the kitchen, the pantry is stocked and so is the bar. So grab a drink or start cooking. Dinner is...well whenever I make anything.
 
Let me suggest starting with a ten pound Boston butt. Cook on 350 for 5 hours. Add onions, carrots, potatoes, green peppers, and garlic. Season with sage, sweet basil, pepper, and salt. Use the brine to make rice. A nice meal that will give you plenty of leftovers.

Noted...would anise seed do well with that?
 
The best chili this side of Texas is my recipe. :) Let me know if you want me to make some. I don't reveal my recipe--that's top secret! :eek:

Any suggestions for pork tenderloin? My first attempt at roasting was with some of that a few weeks ago, and I wasn't totally happy with the results.

What is your favorite type of seasoning to use? Does it change often?

As far as a go-to? A regional season-all is usually my go-to, I mix from scratch or to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic, cayenne, ancho chille pepper, and a touch of cumin to bring it all together.

It does change often, usually a seasoning at a time, right now I am experimenting with dill...need to try star of anise soon

I suggest a crock pot. First, stab the meat all over, then use a seasoned meat tenderizer. Cook on high 8 or more hours. Perfect every time.
 
Does your favorite dish to cook change often as well?
What was your most expensive dish to cook? Least expensive?
Have you ever thought of catering? Or are you into that already?

Yes, VERY often. Right now it is Zuppa Toscana, so simple and so rich and filling.\

My most expensive dish...at this point...crab bisque probably.
My least?...if you can count baked potato...

My first job was technically a catering gig...also catered my sister's wedding somewhat...trying to get a business off the ground now...though if it will have catering is up in the air. Definitely had the most fun catering by far.
 
What is the dish you use to woo a mate?

I find out their favorite dish and figure out how to do it perfectly...then I make it better...mix everything I know about gastronomy and flavors and affection and arousal.

Barring that I have a rather ridiculous salmon noodle dish that is to die for.
 
What is a dish that looked intimidating for you to cook?

I haven't met one yet... the only thing to shake me up is meeting an ingredient...especially a protein that I don't have enough of to play with flavors...and don't know enough about already.

....maybe a fucking chocolate lava cake...maybe...

... not that its intimidating but I can't make a poached egg right every time, and I can't make a proper egg drop soup to save my life...
 
*frowns at the plastic wrap* lol I'll consider it, can't hurt.

oh god, there are so many...most with exotic meats.

more realistically I'm working through the most popular African dishes by region...right now I'm slowly working through various curry dishes.


Do you categorize your spices by the country it's from?
