We are a young couple that loves to cook and try new food ideas. We're avid cooks and restaurant goers. We love cooking things from scratch. You'll never find a bottled barbecue sauce in our fridge! We just got a barbecue, so we're REALLY into grilling at the moment. He is fantastic with improvised Italian cooking, my specialty is cooking without a recipe, to clear out the foods about the go bad. Maybe I should start writing them down! MY family is HUGE, so I just love how everyone contributes at holidays. All of the women are bustling in the kitchen, while the men round up the children, and usually watch some kind of sport on the television. He claims that letting his mom do it, is his favorite tradition, which must be why he's never opposed to letting me do it. I think in general, I'm really good at tasting something and being able to recreate it. So, if I like something at a restaurant, I'll have no problem making it at home. I once tried to make a Gumbo without a recipe, I had only made it once with a recipe, and I failed miserably. The result was like the child of gumbo and chili. It wasn't any good. As for my man, his would be Shark Pizza. He thought it would be awesome, and it turned out to be a complete failure.
