I grew up in a very intra-ethnic/interracial household. I grew up eating Southern American, North East American, and Indian cuisines. My mother was a fabulous cook. What ever she managed to put her hands on came out fantastic. She's very creative also in the kitchen. She just forgot to teach me, so I had to learn myself and finaggle a few recipes from my Grandmother before she passes.
Might I say, we were also Vegetarian. So, many of the memories of dishes I consumed had no meat products. I grew up with Tofu, rice, and legumes that were seasoned with curry and the like often. Roti/Chapati and eating with my fingers. I miss those days. ;D
Now, my house is full of picky eaters. All of them do not have a diverse taste for the different flavors of the world. So, I've coped by making one pot meals and occasionally having a East Asian night for the one child who is obsessed with Korean culture. Myself, I'm a foodie. I love food, but I love TASTING food. Not just eating it, but enjoying the flavors being mixed together and the way they titillate the taste buds.
I'm also a baker. I love to bake. I have many favorites, but I'm good at making my Boston Cream Pie and Strawberry Dream 3-layer cake. I love to make Croissants and Plum Kuchen also. I should start baking again, but no one is here to eat all of my buttery goodness.
I'll post pictures of my dishes that I make.
