1. I love cooking (and always have). 2. Most of the time, I will plan my meals the same day that I cook them. If I'm making something complex, or with ingredients that are more difficult to find, I will plan ahead. 3. Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, and French are my most common major types. 4. I try to be healthy, but find myself slipping back into the 'snack at night on high carb/high fat diet'. 5. Learn how to make your own stocks, memorize some basic flavour combinations that you love (ie - canned tomatoes and stock are a major base), and always follow recipes precisely the first time that you cook them.
