Let me start sharing some of the stuff I cooked recently

I would totally put a fried egg on top and a dash of soy sauce!
or is that already scrambled egg on top (or tofu?)?

That is a fried egg :). The chicken and veggies were cooked in soy sauce and were hot so when I put the fried egg on top, the soy kinda cooked into the egg whites. It was delicious.

Used to cook similar thing often, it's somehow my kinda comfort food
Eating it in front of the TV, and always cook more since you'll come back for second serve

I feel like that too. Egg + rice + soy sauce = comfort.

These aren't recent but I like the pictures anyways.

Yeah, used to work as line cook as well when I was still a student
Wife is a big fan of good roast meat like the pork belly, but i'm turning her more to comfort slow cook braised style cooking now

just bought a non-industrial sous vide, cant wait to cook with it!

(http://i.imgur.com/8sl8o.jpg)

Found a photo of my Tex-Mex chile cheese fries. My food hobby is re-envisioning typical unhealthy (or healthy) foods and putting a twist on them. I make a lot of pasta and love to bake bread.

I love bread.

I really love bread.

Post by: noisyturtle on Fri, 08 May 2015, 20:32:08: Used to love cooking until I worked in a kitchen. Now it's microwave everything because cooking feels like tedious work :(
Title: Re: Who loves to cook?
Post by: shrubkeys on Fri, 08 May 2015, 21:07:05: It's often the same for me, but for a different reason. When I cook for myself, I think, "oh, I know how it *would* taste if I cooked this." And then I season it well and eat it raw. :) Or because I'm exhausted, I'll deliberately keep things in the pantry/freezer that actually do fine in the microwave (leftover risotto) or with no prep (imported tuna).

Chefs typically eat much, much better - and much, much worse - than everyone else.
