Outside of the typical guy favorites such as outdoor grilling and just about anything spicy. I also enjoy preparing ethnic foods such Mexican to Asian. But also I enjoy experimenting with new sauces and marinades. My mom used to make this simple dessert with just layers of bananas, whip cream and graham crackers. And as a kid it was sooo good. especially when it sat out at room temperature the next day, to get soft and moist. Teriyaki chicken that I have marinaded(with my own marinade not anything in a premade bottle) overnight in the fridge and cook on the grill using indirect heat. When almost done I put those bad boys right over the flame to get a little crispy. Use the leftover marinade to cook rice in. Build your own pizza night with my kids is always a hit. Smoking meats using a cool smoke process and a real b.b.q sauce, not the lazy and crappy bottled stuff, is what my friends and family say I excelled in. I appreciate all b.b.q from Carolina vinager to Kansas tomato base. Of course real b.b.q. should taste like heaven without any sauce. I don't know if it is considered cooking. But I tried to make wine once. And what I ended up with was Mad Dog 20/20 that was fizzy.
