This is what I can make

MyMorningBJ · 09-25-2009, 12:45 PM

I've got some killer cajun recipes if you need some :P

I cook when entertaining, but seldom otherwise... Cooking for 1 is a PITA

inabis · 09-25-2009, 01:04 PM

you love some shrimp don't you?

Spaceman Spiff · 09-25-2009, 01:18 PM

I am an eating enthusiast looking for a cooking enthusiast. Now THAT would be a match made in heaven

zetaxi165 · 09-25-2009, 01:47 PM

Pink Taco · 09-25-2009, 01:49 PM

Those looks DAMN good... I suck at cooking. But I love eating. I love jumping around places and trying out new things...

I cook quite a bit. Being a bit older and single you either learn or eat out a ton...or eat crap.

Have not met a woman in years who can boil water right so I do the cooking.

Italian, Mex/Tex, SWestern, Lots of killer sambishes. I likes sambishes, with a pickle.

I love shellfish OP but your cholesterol level must be through the roof.
Texan and no BEEF?

LACSTER · 09-25-2009, 03:58 PM

Nice plate presentation! I'm a big cook as well and have lots of dinner parties.
Too bad you're in TX or I'd invite you over. Making filet with a gorganzola sauce
tonight for dinner with a nice cabernet FTW!

gonzo · 09-25-2009, 04:04 PM

^ Slap some garlic lemon asparagus and maybe a nice pilaf with that and I am on my way.

Spool · 09-25-2009, 04:05 PM

Shit dude that looks good, i love scallops

jaiman · 09-25-2009, 04:05 PM

Ok people, fire up some recipes. I try to keep it relatively simple, fresh ingredients done fairly simply.

White Bean Puree
1 can of white kideney beans
Stock
Garlic
Shallots
Rosemary
Olive oil

Chop the shallots finely along with the garlic, brown in a bit of olive oil. Throw the rosemary in for 30 seconds. Add the beans, pour in enough stock to cover them and simmer for 20 minutes or so. Whip with a whisk.

I usually make this with a pan fried steak and dump the juice from the steak into the beans as well. If its a really fancy dinner I'll slice the steak and put it on the puree and then drizzle a balsamic reduction on it.

gonzo · 09-25-2009, 04:08 PM

Like this. Demi glace, yumm.

DenverJayhawk · 09-25-2009, 04:57 PM

Wife and I are big cooking enthusiasts. We're in one supper club together and wife is also in a ladies cooking club too. Basically all we watch on TV is foodnetwork or Bravo's Top Chef. Our grocery bill's are rediculous. But it's great.

MCMLXXXIX · 09-25-2009, 05:08 PM

ooooohhh very nice

that's funny... Because I always photograph my food. Especially when I go out with my friends and gf. Actually made a site for this too. And I like to rate the site myself and what I think.

When food comes I stop everyone from touching it and I take my time taking some good shot of the food. It's funny how everyone always look at me with that "hurry up I want to eat!!"

Nice! Most of our money goes to eating out and when I have any left I try to mod the car.
