How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs?

I have a small bakery biz here in Vietnam serving the expats with sourdough bread, marble rye ,  pies, cakes and meat pies . 
I’ve been retired over here for a few years and couldn’t find the quality breads I missed from S. Calif where I was born and raised so I started playing around with starters for about 6 months before I dialed it in and I just grew from there. The bakery now takes care of my monthly expenses. 

wow technik

that is wonderful!!!

I have been cooking since I was a kid.  I also had 3 kid athletes who used to eat me out of house and home.  

Lately, as in the last 5 years, I have been messing around with BBQ.  I have developed my own sauces and rubs.  

I also cook my own version of Chinese stir fries.  Italian food and mexican are also fun to make.  

I don't have any trouble getting friends to help me because I always have food. 

Chef? Please. I am something far less pretentious, and far more useful. I am a cook. It don't look pretty. But it tastes so good, and without a shopping list, from whatever's in the pantry and the fridge. That's a cook.
