Day 5. Your signature dish.
Day 6. Are/were you a picky eater?
Day 7. Your favorite fruit.
Day 8. Your preferred cooking technique.



I'm not sure how to answer this, because if I were to say something like braising or caramelizing that would imply that I know what I'm talking about. I've gone entire years without kitchens, and even now although I love my apartment overall, the kitchen is the worst aspect of it (one hot plate and large toaster oven). It's only relatively recently that I gained an appreciation for cooking at all, and even now my enthusiasm has been stilted by my lack of acceptable kitchens and sufficient cooking tools.

So to answer this, my preferred cooking technique is experimentation. I enjoy figuring out how to cut into a new fruit or veggie, starting with a recipe but then riding it off the rails a bit - checking Youtube for inspiration and guidance, www.whatthefuckshouldimakefordinner.com

Generally, I'm pretty lucky when trying out first-time recipes...but I suppose that's often because I don't shoot for the moon, making complicated things with utensils I don't have access to. (I've tried making curries without mortar and pestle and that's disastrous.) That's always a gratifying feeling - trying something for the first time and turns out scrumptious. Yeah, when I go all out cooking from scratch I generally prefer trying new things.
