Yes I know we mainly deal with mapping and games and to a lesser extent movies/tv. But maybe some of you out there are some culinary experts. So what are your favorite things to cook (it can be anything from just Mac and Cheese to Chicken Florentine).

I've been cooking more and more in the past few months and am trying to branch out to new and different things. I have cooked Indian, Italian, Asian and my parents got me this 660 curry recipe book for my birthday (which is really awesome), so I am trying to do more Indian and maybe new fusion dishes.

Tonight I am cooking Curry Chicken Enchiladas, or at least going to try to :D. I can make a wicked Sweet and Sour Chicken (thanks to Fletch), and I have studied up on the Curry Chicken so I think things will go well. If my camera phone can take some good photos I'll post the aftermath, hopefully it is nom nom.

So how about you?

I just finished making myself noodles and diced chicken in a sweet and sour sauce and tomorrow I'm making a coffee cake for my girlfriend. And good man, curry is the best ever. You could also try one of my mums ideas involving fajita wraps, diced chicken, lettuce and a sauce combining mayonnaise and cranberry - it's awesome.

lately i've been making a good soup. a curry cream with good amounts of black pepper. while warming/mixing the soup, fry some shrimps and or fish. mix and eat.

also, steamed-then-fried chicken with fried wok vegetables or fried aubergine is nice. the tenderness of the meat is like, perfect.

had roulade today. 24h of cooking to get it top notch delicate. filled with tomato mark, mustard and some mixed stuff. potatoes cooked, pealed and oven dried and green beans in tomato-basilicum cooked. use the roulade water to extract some sauce with pepper and fried onion extracts. served with carrot-salad, refined with an apple per pound carrots and citron-sugar sauce (no mayonaise, ruins the lightness of the salad). for desert: vanilla pudding with melted chocolate couverture and pears in sugar-water bedded. wiener herrentorte (marzipan layers, vanilla-wine-cream layers and fine sliced cake batter bottom, all wrapped in chocolate coating) as cake...

i got to admit my father did most of the cooking though, he's a born kitchen chief... it's a good change to the usual university kitchen or the 15 minutes pizzas. it's good fun to work in the kitchen with friends and family but cooking for yourself only is not very satisfying...

I make what I have money for :( Today that was toast with just cheese and some tomato beans. Probably the same tomorrow :(

But I enjoy making pizza, it's so perfect since you can marinate the meat in whatever way suits you, so you can basically have pizza all week and never have the same kinda meat. Besides, if you buy finished bottoms, it's real quick.

Also, chicken wrapped in bacon is lovely. Can't remember what I have on the side, but whatever that mixes with chicken is ok (which is everything).

Hmm let's see, lately for me it's been egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam; spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam...

...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.
