I am a network tech. for a major telecommunications company, computer geek, and a bit of a health-oriented guy that likes to do stuff outdoors (when the weather isn't freezing cold). I LOVE food (though I am quite slim) and I LOVE to cook.
My favorite things to cook
Madras curry (veg/tofu/chicken/beef), burgers (yes, with real beef...) on the wood grill in summertime, banana bread, stir-fry (mostly veggie), cheese souffle, omelettes, crepes, salads, beef and/or lamb stew (hybrid bourgogne/irish style).
My favorite family cooking traditions
homemade pizzas (mostly at birthday parties for some reason), yoghurt (gotta add maple syrup or something to make it edible), bangers and mash..., scalloped potatoes, roast beef + yorkshire pudding.
My cooking triumphs
Curry, soup (daal is my favorite), stew, burgers, salads...
My cooking tragedies
Tuna burgers that disintegrated on the BBQ in the summertime... and I had no backup plan :p Tuna meat is NOT easy to make burgers with. And it doesn't even taste that great anyway :p
