1. What is your favorite food?

It really depends; I look forward to different things being in season; tomatoes, peaches, strawberries, figs, etc. so really tend to eat a lot of those when it is the right time. I guess if I had to pin it down, pasta. I pretty much could eat some form of pasta every day.

2. What is your favorite food preparation method?

Again, I don't know that I really have one. I like grilling in the summer, baking/ braising in the winter...I did buy an immersion circulator last year and have enjoyed experimenting with sous vide cooking.

3. What is your favorite cuisine or style of cooking?

I like pretty much everything, but probably most favorite cuisine would be Italian. I think I could be perfectly happy having it every day for the rest of my life.

4. Do you have any dietary restrictions and if so what are they?

No, thank goodness. When I was a child chocolate made me break out, but I have outgrown that.

5. If you could introduce the whole world to one ingredient to improve their culinary experience, what would that be and why?

Actually, it is more of a technique; Salting as you go instead of waiting till the end of cooking or serving. It makes a big difference.

I keep meaning to get a sous vide thing, if only so I can have perfect boiled eggs.

It is great for poached eggs too. You do them in the shell and then carefully crack them open and perfect little ovals slide out.

Dammit, I really want one now.

This is the one I have: https://anovaculinary.com/anova-precision-cooker/

I got it from Amazon.

1, What is your favourite food?
Toast

2, What is your favourite food preparation method?
Everything goes into the one pan (saves on the washing up afterwards)

3, What is your favourite cuisine or style of cooking?
I don't have a favourite cuisine because I'm too fussy of an eater. As for a style of cooking it's pretty much anything that can be cooked quickly in a frying pan or a saucepan.

4, Do you have any dietary restrictions and if so what are they?
Not a restriction as such but I'm vegetarian and I don't like to label myself as that because it still doesn't feel right even all these year later. I hardly ever have any dairy and can't stand cheese, milk is about only thing I'll have. I'm also caffeine intolerant (huge migraine trigger for me) so I have to avoid coffee, cola drinks, energy drinks and chocolate, mixing coke or coffee and chocolate even accidentally renders me useless for a couple of days.

5, If you could introduce the whole world to one ingredient to improve their culinary experience, what would that be and why?
Dairy free cheese sauce this one. I use this for my macaroni cheese and it is so easy to make, I also tend to add a splash of Yorkshire Sauce or Balsamic Vinegar to it, depending on which one I have in the cupboard at the time. Can't buy Yorkshire Sauce where I live in North East Scotland, I usually wait until I know when I'll be in Leeds visiting family again to buy that because it's cheaper than ordering online.
