I am a seasoned cook. Picked it up as a hobby when I had down time in the service. Now I find it fun and therapeutic. Anything that's uncommon. Pastas seem to be my forte right now. My family is 100% European mutt but my dad loves to cook Asian style. Spaghetti, pot pie, eggplant parmesan, shrimp fettuccine alfedro, margharita pizza, baked ziti, there really is no limit to what I can make, I think new challenges are the most fun! Coconut shrimp(the coating would not stick!) and a 'hamburger-veggie soup' without a recipe, it was a disaster!
