Chili with cornbread crust
I started cooking soon after I got married in th early '80's. Something about the conversion of a bunch of ingredients to a great meal keeps me exploring and trying new things. Now that my kids are older, when they come over they ask for family favorites, and I enjoy cooking for them. I've been unemployed or working from home for a couple of years, so I have had time to develop some good techniques and recipes. My favorite thing is to cook for friends and family - I really enjoy sharing my food and making people smile. I work with a lot of spices and seasonings, and I really enjoy making something original that everyone likes.
Recipes I've Posted (all 2)
My all-time favorite dish - and my family's as well - is the Phad Thai recipe that I developed. I worked on it for about 8 years, and I'm still tweaking it. I like cooking Thai in general because of the rich flavors. Having 8-10 people over is fun for me because I'll usually do about an equal number of Thai dishes. There's always good leftovers.
Another favorite is an herbed chicken dish based on a recipe by Pierre Franey - simple but elegant, with thyme and garlic as the main flavoring elements.
I've developed my own seasoning mix that I use on baby back ribs and the cod I use for fish tacos. It's also finding it's way into other dishes. This past summer I found a great technique for burgers from Cook's Illustrated, and another for fantastic meat loaf.
I've found a great pizza crust recipe and baking technique for a thin crisp crust, so now I am being creative with ingredients. I love making pizza, and I'll usually invite friends or family over and make 8 or more at a time.
I've recently purchased Culinary Artistry and The Flavor Bible, so I'll be working on better techniques and more original recipes.

French Chicken with herbsYou will want to play with the sauce a bit to get it the way you like it, and it will be your preference for you eat each chicken (fingers or knife and fork) that will likely determine how you use the sauce. [I posted this recipe.]
