1. What is your favourite food?
Bread. The real crusty stuff made with organic unbleached flour and served with my other favorites
Cheese, butter and peanut butter (the crunchy stuff made of 100% Oz peanuts & a bit of salt. You can tell because the oil floats on top)
2. What is your favourite food preparation method?
Roast, grilled or fried.
Especially garlic, potatoes and cauliflower
3. What is your favourite cuisine or style of cooking?
I have SO many.
Mainly Mediterranean, Malaysian, Mexican and Japanese.
Mexican minus the chili because I love all the other ingredients. Especially corn & avocados
Same with Malaysian.
It's a bit if a cheat since it's a fusion of Indonesian, Indian and Chinese cuisines.
I'm especially find of dhal, deep fried tofu or tempeh and anything with satay sauce.
Japanese - I consider to be summer munchies since so much of the best things are served cold.
We are lucky in Oz to have places like Sushi Hub and Saka.
Sushi is mainstream here rather than exclusive & extremely expensive.
Also, it was a Japanese scientist who came up with the concept of Umami.
The savoury flavour from Heaven & the one I am most addicted to.
4. Do you have any dietary restrictions and if so what are they?
I am diabetic. I happen to hate sugar & sweet things in general. But it's no free pass since carbs also get converted to sugar & I absolutely love bread and pasta
I'm technically a vegetarian because my rule is that I only eat meat or fish if I've killed it myself.
5. If you could introduce the whole world to one ingredient to improve their culinary experience, what would that be and why?
Only 1?
I'm greedy
My list includes pesto, pine nuts, peanut butter and freshly ground black pepper.
I'd pick the pepper as it's the most practical.
Pesto needs to be refrigerated & has a habit of leaking everywhere.
Pine nuts are expensive & it's almost impossible to get the Italian ones now. Chinese crap has flooded the market
But proper pepper ground beef s are portable. I even add a twist to coffee or Chai
