Hi there ^^

I just realised that if we have a community from all over the world there must be people in here who can cook. As i really like to cook and try different recipes, i thought, maybe you can

a) tell me your favorite food (if possible from your country/region)
b) give me a recipe for it

That would be really awesome. Sure you can look on the net for some "original" recipes for this and that, but asking someone who lives where it comes from how he makes and what he uses as ingredients - that´s just soooo much better.

And now for the thing you really came here:

jip jip

Update:
startet today with cooking those recipes ^^

my favorite food is food

but actually I like salads so basically it's tomatoes, cucumber and some extra green stuff + salad dressing (a combination of some stuff: olive oil, vinegar, little bit of fruit juice, sugar etc). Then I eat stuff next to it, like chicken or some other meat.

I have to cook for myself, but I am not fond of this process - sometimes I'm managing to cook not what I really intended to =) So, I usually make some simple dishes (steaks, salads) and then prefer to go to do other things I'm good at =)

Love cooking but never follow a recipe or write anything down, just have that magic touch I guess (or no taste buds :) )

if you can cook, you most of the time know what will work together, but having a taste from different homes is quite nice as well and for those i need a recipe ^^

I'm from the US so what dishes qualify for being American in origin is up for debate. I do a lot of cooking and came across this recipe recently. The author, Ming Tsai, is from the United States so maybe that qualifies. It's a wonderful meal on a colder night (like we are having currently) and is something of an Asian/British Isle fusion.

Beef and Shiitake stew
2 lbs. hanger or skirt steak (I looked for this cut of steak but didn't have any luck, any time of steak for stewing with will work), cut into 2" squares
Salt and pepper
2 T canola oil
2 Lg. Red onions, cut into 1/2" dice
2 lg. Carrots, peeled and cut into1/2" dice
2 celery stalks, 1/2 " dice
1 T. Black bean sauce
1T finely chopped ginger
Cloves from one to two heads garlic, peeled
1 lb. Shiitake mushrooms ( I used a combo of shiitake and regular white mushrooms since Shiitake $$$)(quartered)
I cup of dry sherry or other stout white wine
1/3 cup soy sauce
Mashed potatoes (prepare separately, use as served)

Season meat with salt and pepper. Heat heavy skillet with oil and brown meat all sides.
Remove meat, wipe out pan. Add oil. Add onions, carrots, celery, ginger,garlic. Saute@8-10 mins. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Add wine, bean sauce, cook and reduce 4-6 mins. Add soy sauce, return meat, cover with water and cook covered, @2 hrs.
Scoop mashed potatoes into bowl, serve stew over top!

I can cook some, though I don't do so much because for the effort I'd put in I'd want to eat all of it.

I think we're from the same country, so my recipes would probably be nothing new to you. We have some regional specialties here where I'm living like Saumagen or liver- and bloodsausage (Leber- und Blutwurst), but I don't know how to make Saumagen myself.

To enjoy your Leber- and Blutwurst dish to the max tho you might want to boil some potatoes along with it, stirr some quark with milk, salt, onions and fresh parsley to have it nice and creamy, and finally prepare a fresh and delicious green salad alongside. All goes together, I really like it :)
