I'm an engineer / engineering student from the University of Toronto. I'm always looking for quick recipes, as I never know when I get off work but always prefer home-cooked meals to eating out. I love Mediterranean food. Namely, tangy feta and well-marinated chicken dishes normally catch my attention. In fact, my favourite cook book right now would have to be a Greek cook book I picked up a few months back. My background is Eastern-Europian / Middle Eastern; both cooking styles appeal to me. I especially like a good Borscht with "Katlyeti" (fried beef patties). I also love "Lula" kebabs aka Sikh kebabs, which are my father's specialty, served with vegetables cooked over and open flame. Yummy. A delicious Shrimp Pilaf I cooked recently. Served with cubed feta cheese, marinated Greek black olives, and a nice stout beer (I just like beer, sorry). Tried to emulate the IHOP Crab and shrimp omelette using canned crab meat. It was way too soggy and undercooked. I will have to try this again one day.
