Hi all! My name is Linda aka Deedledoll The following is some about me. Thanks for the letting me part of your guild!!
Where you live (not addresses, people. more like "I live in South Florida) I live in North Florida
What's your favourite thing to eat/make. I really love soups ((Especailly a simple French Onion)) but love to cook and experminet making new things all the time outside the soup realm. I use to work in a bakery and enjoyed cake decorating alot.
If you lean towards baking, or more towards cooking. I lean towards cooking more these days because I generally dont have time for baking. Most of my baking is done towrds winter because even with AC in Florida having dual ovens going can heat a place up.
Favourite flavourings (herbs, spices, extracts). I love garlic but have a well stocked kitchen for spice. I have 3 spice racks full plus extract is the cupboards.
Skill level (beginniner, intermediate, expert) Have to say intermediate.
What cooking does for your well-being. It does alot when you make something and you watch another person sit there and enjoy it without even saying a word. You just know! Its also done a world of good for my relationship with my son who was always a picky eater till I got him in the kitchen with me and let him help create dishes with flavors he likes. He nows enjoy cooking for others. Not uncomming for me to have him and his friends over on the weekends playing around in the kitchen coming up with new recipes!
What are some of the occasions that you like to cook for? No one occasion...love to cook all the time. Not a huge fan on tradtional though so Thanksgiving when people expect the norm is not really for me. New Years eve and New Years Day is one of the better times if I have to choice at least one occasion because we always have alot of people over and there is no set expectations from others of what is on the menu.
Something extra to know about me is that I collect menus.

Hello, name is Brie, or Camel. Either or. I'm living in my culinary heaven, Northern California. I can pretty much get the world's cuisine fresh from the source. Though I do love to bake, I prefer to cook. I would have to say my flavoring lean toward simplicity. Very very clean (as fresh and as home made as possible) , and of course because it's delish, Italian. More, a fusion of traditional Californian (lots of fresh sea food, organic veggies and grass fed/free range meats) with a twist of rustic Italian. As for level of skill, I vary depending on what I'm making. In general intermediate, thanks to some culinary classes and my own life-long love. I'm going to culinary school next semester in SF so it should be nice.
I actually cater a little bit for small parties (10 people max), and for intimate occasions (dates and anniversaries). Quite enjoyable and profitable.

Hey, I'm Ruth, from Puerto Rico. My favorite thing to eat is rice or pasta and chicken with come nice salsa or condiments. I barely cook, since my grandmother is retired and since she's always at home, she always has something done by the time I get home. I do cook sometimes when she cooks something I don't eat. I lean towards cooking since I don't have an oven in my house, just a little one which is barely used to make cakes from time to time. I LOVE garlic :P and any sweet and sour flavor. I have to admit, my skill levels are beginner, or lower emo .
What cooking does for my well-being? Well, after being obese, it feels wonderful to know how good I'm treating my body by choosing more carefully the things I use to make my foods. I went from 210 pounds to 180 (at the moment) mostly just EATING BETTER.
I LOVE making breakfast =)

Master of Grilled Cheese. I live in California. I love to make things with potatoes, not sure why though. I love to bake pies, cookies, cakes, muffins. I like to learn about other cultures and eat/make whatever I can. (I'm going to Sweden in the spring! ;D) Two years and I'm off to college; culinary of course! ;p

Noellium. Age 24. I live in Southern California, USA. I'm not really a great cook, but I can make a few tasty items (eggy in a basket heart ). But I like food. Especially tasty food. Despite my not-love for cooking, I'm looking to make my meals more interesting, when I don't eat with the rest of the family. (I.e. something more than just hotdogs for breakfast/lunch/dinner). When I think about it, it looks kinda fun. ^^
There are so many things I like to eat. :O Caesar salad, submarine sandwiches, cheeseburgers, French onion soup, Japanese food, Mexican food, Italian food... heart Oh yes, and chicken curry.
As for cooking vs. baking, I'm more of a cooker than a baker. I've only baked things for school (when we have a potluck-like critique in art classes, I sometimes make cookies for everyone blaugh ). But I'm more willing to fire up the stove than to figure out how to turn on the oven. sweatdrop

ummm I'm Alex I live in Minnesota. Oh I like to eat candy and salty foods. I have a starnge love affair with soy sauce I put it in everything. But then again I eat lot of garlic and salmon which people find weird too so I guess my taste buds are just odd. I like baking more then cooking but find myself cooking more then I bake. my skill level is intermediate. And cooking most the time calms me down and makes me happy. And I don't really cook for any occasions I leave that to the rest of the family. And my favorite flavor is a tie between soy sauce, mint, and garlic just not all together in the same dish.

My name's Cory and I live in Montreal with great pride. My favourite thing to make would be my favourite breakfast, french crêpes (using standard Five Roses recipe) with chocolate chip 'scabs' (burnt on semi sweet). I learn more towards cooking large suppers for groups, roasts, strews, pastas, casseroles. I consider myself a comfort food queen, though I'm trying to refine my flavors. My favorite spice is chopped fresh parsley, adding it to a pizza makes all the difference in the world. My favorite cheese to spruce up regular dishes is strong emmental, and my favorite sweetener is a Chilean chocolate tab that has a cinnamon and clove flavoring; it can turn any crappy coffee or basic cake into something awesome. ( picture here) I consider myself an intermediate cook. I'm stronger at making some things more than others, but I'm not daunted by different recipes. I've learned how to produce dim sum, szechuan, sushi, flans and everything else I tasted and loved enough to waste too much money on. Cooking does wonders for my financial well-being and health. Not ordering out food lets me moderate the grease content of my diet, having worked a little in the food industry I know how much lard is out there. It's also a great social activity if you have a roomy kitchen. My particular cooking occasion is whenever a friend's feeling down. What's better than a gift you can eat?

Hello guild!
This is your friendly neighbourhood Swede speaking.
Coming from a large family I've been cooking for as long as I can remember - the first thing I remember cooking was a mashed potato/broccoli gratin, but like my mother I never went by recipies.
Again due to my many siblings I tend to always cook too much, going from cooking for 8 people to just cooking for myself was hard XD. I still have problems figuring out how much spaghetti to cook.
I'm both a baker and a cooker but my baking skills have had to lay dormant during my student years when I just had a crappy little bench stove to cook on. I'm making up for it now though.
Favourite flavourings... Well garlic is a given. Cumin I use a lot too. Basil and Oregano I consider basic. Balsamic vinegar can work miracles sometimes if I can remember I've got it.
I wouldn't call myself an expert cook but I have never had complaints about my cooking, not even from my fiancée who is extremely picky and hates vegetables. (This was a worry in the beginning because I'm a vegetarian...) That said there is rarely something fancy about my food. I grab what I've got in the fridge and make it taste good. Baking is harder for me because you have to follow measurements in order for doughs to rise and cookies to look good, but my bread is usually good and my cookies are killer.
The one thing I hate about cooking is when I have to cook just for myself. Those are the times when I can't be bothered and might end up eating nothing but toast the whole day. I love cooking for others though, and since I've been used to cooking huge batches of food for many years I can pull off a large dinner party pretty painlessly. I've usually got a few friends from work over for coffee and fresh cookies at least once a week.
I'm sorry this turned out as a biography, if you couldn't be bothered to read it I'll at least finish with something useful: When you make a chocolate bundt cake - shred the peel from and orange into the batter.

Hey everyone!
I'm Natalie, I live in North Carolina. I have only very recently started cooking, only about a year and a half. I am a housewife now, and that is why I've gotten so into it lately, not complaining though, I love cooking! Not much else to say about it due to my inexperience. I'm looking forward to finding some good tips.
