I'm a scientist and I think of cooking as experimenting with food. I am always open to trying out new recipes and I have plenty of "test subjects" at church and at work.
My favorite things to cook
Meat, especially chicken, pork and salmon.
My cooking triumphs
Tiramisu (I've always wanted to learn how to make it and I now know at least 3 different recipes)
My cooking tragedies
Too many to list.
