I very much enjoy cooking. Don't get to do it often but it's something I'm fairly good at.

I think my favorite dish recently is fried trout. You by some trout, doesn't really matter the kind, and remove the skin before frying it (hence the 'fried trout').

When I make it though, I sautee onions and a little bit of garlic with oil and a minute dash of white wine. I also make a dill cream sauce with whatever herbs I have at the time (and dill, hence the 'dill cream sauce')

Take a plate, pour a little sauce on it, put some sauteed onions on top, plop the fried trout down. Add a little pepper and you're good to go. Could be one of my favorite fish dishes.

Gotta get into the Mi Goreng, don't know if they sell it at places other than Melbourne but its cheap and delicious(10 bucks AU for 40 packets cheap) Think two minute noodles but with awesome stuff instead of flavor powder. They are also incredibly unhealthy. I can cook legitimate dishes i.e spaghetti, lemon chicken , pasta bake etc etc but mi goreng tops off the delicious and the cheap(I'm a uni student, can you tell?)
My dad makes a pretty mean carbonara too, cant be bothered finding the recipe but its reasonably similar to the other two ones already posted.
Soooo delicious, its my default birthday dinner(whenever its my birthday i get to pick what we eat)

Oh i almost forgot, Nachos! easy and awesome:
1 bag chips, 1 jar salsa, sour cream and a shitload of cheese
Just have to make it in layers, a thin layer of chips, salsa and cheese repeat until everythings gone.
Oven bake or microwave till cheese is melted and add the sour cream/ guacamole or whatever you want. I generally microwave it, it tastes the same but it's quicker

Fried chicken Fajitas:

Cut up some chicken and coat it in egg, roll it in some breadcrumbs or flour and fry it, when it's cooked get some Tortillas, lettuce and barbeque sauce, arrange in the tortilla and essen.

Delish.

For the barbeque sauce:
Barbeque sauce from a bottle (no I don't know how to make it)
Chopped fine and lightly fried garlic
Honey
Put it all in a pot and put it on a low heat.

It is awesome, I've never made it myself though.

I also love Caldo Gelleco (Sp?), Chorizo, pork on the bone, spinach, chickpeas, onion and garlic, I don't know how you're supposed to cook it exactly, I'm going to ask mein mutter how to make it. ^_^

Nachos. A delicious cycle. "I have extra chips... I should get cheese and make nachos." "I have extra cheese, I should get chips and make nachos."

I'm a mean master chef of Mexican cuisine, and now, thanks to you, I want nachos and tacos. THANKS. Also, where the heck do you even find Mi Goreng? I've never heard of it.

I make a hell of a chocolate cake, I hate those bastards that make the topping liquid-ish, light brown. The topping should be hard, sweet as sin and black as the deepest pits of hell. Yumm, chocolate

I really enjoy cooking, but I'm still in my early teenage years, so there's not much I've done. One of my favorite dishes is Broccoli Casserole - Cream of Mushroom Soup, Broccoli, and those little onion crisps (usually for salads), or onion rings on top.

I also make a really really good Tuna (salad I think)- I usually use 2 cans of tuna, 2-2 1/2 spoons of mayonnaise (I don't use that much because I hate mayo but for some odd reason I love this dish), mix it up so the tuna is all shredded and mixed well with the mayo. Then I add some salt, pepper, onion or garlic powder (sometimes both) and paprika. I usually lightly toast up some wheat bread to make a sandwich, but it's also good on bagels and pasta.

I like to think of myself as a culinary minimalist. I classify food with the other necessities like breathing and sleeping, in that because they are necessities they shouldn't require effort. Food that needs me to do much more than heat it up is generally not worth it.

In all likelihood, this is just an excuse for being too lazy to cook properly.

NOTE: NOT LOW-FAT
Haha, I guessed that when I saw 1 lb. of bacon.

I also love me some Buffalo Style Chicken Pizza. Start off with some thin crust pizza dough, add Mozzarella and Bleu cheeses accordingly (I mostly use Mozzarella since I'm not a big fan of the Bleu), add hot sauce to taste, small red onion cut like rings, and finally the chicken. My most favorite pizza ever, bar none. I'm actually eating some right now!

I enjoy cooking. I am a big fan of my crock pot. Throw a bunch of stuff in for a few hours and it comes out full of flavor and falling off the bone. I am drawing a blank on any of my favorite recipes. I tend to experiment rather then follow recipes. Sometimes this turns out good and sometimes not so good, oh well.

Isn't that just sugar with vanilla pods stuck in it?

I like to cook as much as I can, which is pretty much evening :)

I'm starting to find that rice/risotto and vegetables is a cheap and easy way to get a good meal. Mixed with the right spices it can be a extremely tasty.

i love cooking, never use recipes, never write them down. makes it funner, and more of a challenge, keeps me more focused, and helps me not accidentally set things on fire. and its NEVER anything normal.

penne and corn sandwich with alfredo sauce and parmesan on rye bread. if you dont pull it off PERFECTLY it is exactly what it sounds like, if you do, its pure concentrated happy.

I'm a pretty damn good cook, but I prefer looking in the cupboard to see what I have, then assembling something out of that, rather than following a recipe.
