The trouble with eating Italian food is that 5 or 6 days later you're hungry again. I can't say the same for French food, a sliver of veal for 30 bucks. *grin*

And Veal Saltimbocca, or Carpaccio, are *such* filling Italian food. Tsk. Eye-wink

The secret to getting full on French cuisine is simple: You eat half the baguette.

Hello! Oh yes that sounds wonderful!
I was trying to start up a "professional" furry cooking guild or club a few years ago but was unable to arrange a kitchen large enough to support a large group.

I've been in some "local" Iron Chef clubs, and competed in Iron Chef Pennsic - somehow I lost because my food was the best? If it's a cooking contest it should be based on the food not which university you graduated from (or how many girls you bring with you)- duh... anyhow I usually win for best main course. I'm still working on my desserts and sauces.

Anyhow - go for it - I'll attend! Smiling

I've been doing gourmet food prepared at furry camping trips for a few years too! They have been a blast!

Oh dear, another J-Dubbie. We get a wave of them each year to intern at Foxwoods. Eye-wink Johnson and Wales is a fine school and a lot of the interns are very excellent and qualified folks.

Myself, I've been cooking professionally the past dozen years or so (including summers during college). No degree, just reasonable on-job training and lots of issues of Cook's Illustrated. Smiling

I will probably be the easiest culinary fur to pick out from the crowd. #1 Find registration. #2 Look for the hat.

I wear my jacket, hat, pants n' clogs all at Anthrocon. Been doing so for 8 years now, it's become my schtick. Eye-wink I can say that it makes for a fine dress choice in warm Pittsburgh summer.

I presently work at an Italian place, and yes, a lot of the dishes are sauce-heavy and pasta-heavy. Chicken Florentine is yum, indeed. :9

Of course, all cooks are big and jolly. We all look like the images below.

I'm j/k about the big part. I'm a 5'4" male who weighs 138lbs which loves to not only cook, but eat all his food. Smiling Never stick your hand on my plate, I might mistake it for food. I'm one of those people who have a black hole in his stomach, I love to fill about 5 plates of chinese food and eat it all.

I work in a restaurant and do some cooking and mixing, but I mainly work in the front helping the guests and ensuring they have a excellent time. I do however like to cook in my spare time. All my family members love my Texas style hamburgers and I've got a pizza style meatloaf everyone will love. Nothing tastes better then southern style cooking. Smiling

I am no longer in the cullinary field, but I can still cook a mean meal.

There was a time where I worked in the kitchen for the UMass @ Amherst catering service. My cuisine is mainly cajun and asian fusion, but never forgot the american classics...apparently my mashed potatoes are addicting.

What exactly is "Asian fusion"?
Sounds scary!
I think I heard of it on a cooking show - and thought to myself, that's not Asian!

I've been cooking oriental food for the past 25+ years, that's what I'm best at.

I think I might dig out my old chef jacket and find a chef hat ... although it's a jungle out there! Smiling

.. at least I'm bringing 5+ coconuts Smiling

What you have to watch out for is people who like "Asian fission cooking". They're the crazy ones.

Also when you're done with a coconut I need the two empty halves. Thanks.

"Asian Fusion", on it's highest level, is a fusing of traditional Chinese, Japanese, Southeast Asian and Polynesian ingredients with American styles of preparation, cuts of meat, presentation, etc. Or the other way around at that.

On its worst level, it's "Throw some Cilantro in that."
