I love cooking and I'll cook just about anything. I love looking up new recipes and then using my family and friends as guinea pigs...lol
As far as presentation I don't go over board trying to make it perfect but I do make it all look nice.

i'm a total foodie, i insist on the best ingredients i can afford.
drives some people crazy.
I like to B-B-Q all sorts of stuff, I love to make roasts and gravy on my wood-stove in a dutch-oven during the winter as well as all kinds of soups .. free heat !
I like to make Italian dishes and any tomato based recipes are tomato's from my garden.
I get very creative .... how can I make this with the minimum amount of pots / utensils .... clean-up in not my forté .... do you load your dishwasher using extra ' foot - pressure ' to get more in ? ! ? !
... at least the neighbors won't know you're making dinner : )
(who says we ain't havin' fun here)
i do enjoy cooking when she's not there though
although it's weird, i don't like cooking if someone's helping me, for me its a solitary thing so as soon as my dad offers to cut up vegetables or something i get annoyed
and i don't mean to but i don't know why
haha
it's weird but...
oh well, the important thing is that everyone loves my friend rice
=D
Your sister sounds jealous to me.
she only likes carrots cooked, not in salads
she doesn't like mushroom
she likes peas but not beans
she doesn't eat broccoli if it's been steamed slightly too long
she only eats cauliflower with cheese sauce...
the list goes on
my boyfriend is a bit the same with the list but he doesn't complain, he just picks the bits out that he doesn't want, which i'm fine with.
Oh, and I never worry about presentation. I'm not cooking for a restaurant or for a cooking show. I want the meals to be healthy, balanced, and to taste good. Taste is more important to me than whether it looks like art on a plate.
I only care about presentation when throwing a party. I like my palettes to be colorful; I balance warm and cool tones in every dish.
I'm so excited to start a hanging garden!! I'll be able to can my own tomato sauce and spices again.
