  • I always add finely grated carrots.

    Also, there are many geek-types that like the cooking (and I'm one fairly near you) (it's only chemistry and thermodynamics, after all). There are, of course, those that prefer the takeaway, but those are evil and bad and wrong.

  • I love cooking, although since we bought a house with an electric stove I've gotten a little frustrated. How do people cook with this stuff? We're getting a gas stove as soon as funding becomes available...
    • Cooking with electric is a lot like cooking with an Aga. It's all about planning. I agree though, gas is a million times better.
  • It's like the difference between bacon and a pork chop -- same organism, different bits [ehow.com].

    You are what you think.
    • Right. We call both bits coriander here. I also found that coriander in Canadian supermarkets is very LARGE and thus not quite as flavourful as european coriander.
      • We call the leaves coriander sometimes in the US as well, especially when talking about the green sauce at Indian restaurants. And I believe widespread use of the word "cilantro" in English even in the US is a recent phenomenon.
  • Hey, that looks super. If my schedule permits, I'm going to make a (modified non-red-meat) version tonight and let you know how it turns out.

    I'm sure there are other foodie geeks around use.perl; I know of at least one other. A mental survey of my local perl mongers group turns up a few more.

    I've got half a mind to toss up a wiki for perl foodies... OK, a whole mind. Not restricted to perl coders. I'm curious if anything comes of this...

  • I know quite a few programmers who cook. My bolognese attempts have not come out well yet, but I have a few house specialties. Is there an established markup for recipes out there? I know Leon Brocard was using one on his site.

  • I have always loved cooking. Apparently I had a great-uncle (or even further back) who was a restaurant chef, and I have an uncle who is also a cooking enthusiast.

    In my high school and early college days my father and brother and I spent most of every Saturday watching cooking programs on our local PBS station. We never tried out more than 5% of what we saw, but it was always enjoyable. (Except for the fact that we don't much like seafood, and several of the shows drifted from preferring seafood to exc

  • To me, programming and cooking are similar: I mostly don't like talking or thinking about them, just doing them. :-)

  • I run a mailing list called london.food which is mostly london.pm people talking about cooking, although it's not restricted to geeks, london or london.pm at all - it's got to the stage where there are people subscribed who I have no idea who they are. Which is good :)

    It's quite low traffic, although occasionally bursty.
