I would like to ask people here to share their cooking experience during their PhD.
Mine was horrible but its very much improve now. I am out of my hom end never have an experince of cooking before my PhD. It was very terrible for me to do cooking as I donot know too much about it. So I started to do experiment with me cooking and ask people to teach me their cooking style as well. Now I can make a variety of things. From Asian to western food. My boss says you can open a resturant and it will be very profitable bussiness in europe. This X-mas I make lot of cake and it was wonderful. Now I would like to learn how to cook shrimps or sushi .
regards

hi samita,
nabi-san is the expert in japanese food in the forum, there is (or was) a whole thread with pictures of his food, really delicious.
a restaurant can be profitable depending on many things, but yes, it can be. cooking is similar to a phd, follow a lot of recipes, however, you don't need a phd to cook.
good luck with the sushi. shrimp tastes really good with asparagus. keep up the good vibes.

oh yes....we had some nice food discussions in here and the most delicous pictures were from nabi!

Nevertheless cooking is a great thing, but even better if you can enjoy the food together with some friends! My favourite food is mediterranean (italian, french or spanish).......but I donot really know the asian cuisine. Probably we can revive the "cooking" group

Before PhD it was quite okay, as I had time and some fun to try out recipes. But during and after PhD I had and have no time for good cooking and also realised that kitchen work, i.e. the cooking, is very similar to lab work....therefore I gave up
