I took up cooking as a hobby a few years ago, and found it to be a fun and rewarding pasttime. I cook at home, plus prepare things for my employees at work and my friends. Just about anything (except baking, that's my wife's gig). It's fun to try new and different things. Not much, really. We were basically a meat and potatoes family. Anytime people appreciate my cooking. My tendency to burn stuff and have to toss it, though I've gotten much better.
