QUOTE(DoubleJ @ Apr 15 2008, 08:43 PM)  Recommendations on cookbooks would be great. Specifically of the hispanic and italian genre. I want to go to a sushi making class too. Wow, I am becoming more intellectual by the second even though I am jobless!  Authentic Mexican: Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico (Hardcover) It's outstanding. Seriously. |

QUOTE(superstitious @ Apr 15 2008, 07:50 PM) Is there really such a thing as American "cuisine"? There is American Bar and Grill but Honestly there is no True American cuisine. |

American 'cuisine' is just versions of other dishes Americanized, isn't it?
Anyways, I can't cook well.. I can make basic things like pasta and some Vietnamese foods I don't know how to spell. I cook Italian pretty well, but I'm screwed without the help of my aunt or mom with any other type of food. I'm good at baking, though.. |

I can cook, but I'm a crazy perfectionist. While I was in Corpus last weekend, I cooked every single meal, haha. I spent hours the last night making a three-course meal, then ran down to the beach to barbeque with some guys.
I love cooking :) |

My friend told me it's a lil stressful as well but it's because the projects have a limited time and you have to finish the meal within the time given or they dock points from your meal/project |

Theres also alot of law you have to know behind culinary so they make you pay a shitload of money to get medical physicals and licenses in order to say that you can legally cook for more then 15 people as a business. |

Holy moly... so maybe it is a stressful career. I don't want to be in a career that's stressful, I would love to cook for the fun of it and for the deliciousness of it afterwards

QUOTE(MissHygienic @ Apr 13 2008, 01:32 PM) I can cook, but I wouldn't say that I'm stellar at it. One of the reasons I avoid cooking is the cleaning process. Or i'm too lazy too. But I know how to cook okay. |
