I'm a Dad who loves to cook for my incredible wife and two boys. I'm the typical over-babed dude constantly trying to live up to my wife's awesomeness. Breakfast- eggs-to-order, crepes, trying to master the stir-fry, dabbling in bread baking, BBQ...(duh) Mom was the master of the rare roast beef. She was a highly accomplished cook who studied in France while my folks lived there in the late 60's...so the traditions range from the big holidays- the whole family of 30+ cousins and aunts & uncles every thanksgiving, to the day-to-day...she made the best macaroni & cheese ever. The list goes on. cracking the code on making Good chinese-style stir fry @ home...lame, I know. small victories. I have trouble with making sauces consistently....practice.
