Long time lurker

Hello all!

 

After being a long time lurker (several years) to the site, I've finally committed to joining.

 

I look forward to contributing to discussions as I further into my goal to improve be more consistent in my cooking and baking!

Welcome to eGullet!  I think you'll be glad that you jumped in!  You already have an intro after being here so long, so how about telling us something about YOU?  What do you like to cook/bake?  Where (generally, if you like) do you live?

I cook mainly Caribbean and Southern US foods but enjoying making various Asian dishes as well. I've been incorporating some cold weather dishes into my rotation now that I live further north.

 

Over the years, I've bought cookbooks Momofuku, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Adhoc at Home that I would like to cook through (procrastination is real).

 

For baking and deserts I make mainly cakes but want to get into breads and other pastries. I've had The Bread Baker's Apprentice on my shelf and really should start working through that as well. I did get on the sourdough kick over the last few months (chickened out making a loaf) but did make some sourdough pancakes, sourdough banana bread, and a somewhat decent batch of sourdough english muffins.
