Any other MFK cooks?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I am an average cook, I feel I can cook pretty decent as long as I watch a video and follow steps.

(I thought this was going to be a "who cooks their fish" thread :P)
 
My wife and I grew up around restaurants in our families. As such, we're both scratch cooks with no prepared foods in our pantry. I cook mainly traditional french recipes from The Lot region of France. My wife is a generational Italian cook. We also do alot of grilling and smoking of meats and vegetables. Most of the veggies we incorporate are not available in our area so, we have a fairly extensive raised garden to grow what we need and a hot house for winter veggies.
This weekend, I'm working on several different pate recipes and making a large batch of confi du canard. Some for canning and some to enjoy immediately.
BTW, my wife is a writer for The Examiner and publishes tested recipes and restaurant reviews.
 
I had and cooked in my own restaurant for five years. Both my wife and I love to cook so around the house we try different "fusion" foods, sort of a mash-up of Chinese/Indian/Mexican, basically anything with some zing to it.

Hell yeah oddball, same here although we have slacked on our heirlooms this season because of soil issues. I had gotten some heirloom peaches recently that tasted like peach pie. Raw. They are the best kind of fruit or veggie. My mothers worked in that bar running the kitchen for 12 years now, I've been there for 4. Not to brag but I literally make the best wings in the south towns of buffalo at least. For real. I was rated it by the buffalo wing festival people and my pizza was number one too. The kitchen style is cook-does-all so I cook, wait on tables, dishes, general prep/cleaning. I'm better alone honestly.

I'm glad I'm seeing the diversity in tastes! Not too many cheeseburgers mannnnn guys either haha

I was going to name the thread any other MFKooks but then everyone would have though that lol.

The best way to make good food is to just start cooking it and look at your spice pantry and pick and choose. That's how I've made some great food

Once you've tried em your hooked lol, nice I really don't have anywhere to climb haha the way the kitchen is staffed there is 3 part time cooks and 2 full time, myself and my mother haha yeah so if I mess up at work I hear it at home. So I try to make all my food like someone I love is going to eat it. Or like I'm going to eat it. Most of the time there is only one person in the kitchen which gets difficult a lot haha, and I have to wait on tables and do prep too. So I get hopped up on those little cans of Starbucks double shot every shift haha
