Now that I'm an "empty nester" I enjoy cooking projects that are challenging. My husband and I love spicy food. I also cook for an elderly relative, but he's game to try new things, and eats like a horse! soups and stews. ethnic dishes of all kinds. We always have a dish called "Charlotte Rousse" for Christmas. It's a formed custard in ladyfingers with lots of whipped cream in it and on top. Also, Jewish foods are a family tradition, like Knishes and hamentashen and traditional passover foods. Yes, we are an eclectic lot! Anything that is eaten and enjoyed! Dishes that become leftovers!
