I absolutely love cooking and I'll eat or try foods of all kinds and cuisines - I'll eat just about anything. Pretty much. If you'll eat a deep-fried cricket, so will I. Once. You go first. I tend to spend a lot of time thinking about how I could hatch an evil plan to eradicate bell peppers (especially green!) from the face of the planet and not seem somehow responsible. What inspires me to cook? Both my father and my ex-wife. Dad had kidney disease, so my family had to eat food without salt added or on the table. When he cooked dinner, which was quite often, he'd spice things up with whatever was in the rack and constantly improvised recipes. My ex-wife, Cassie, because she's such a picky eater. I had to come up with dinners that do NOT include anything on her List of Foods I Hate, which seemed to be updated at least once a week. Her father loves tormenting her with mustard...  amusing, but I'm not supposed to enjoy it.
