I got back in the kitchen - this time with my hot friend, Amy Gray -- we prepare to gobble down some thick, juicy meat...

I have no professional training, but I love cooking! I pull a lot of inspiration from my Southern heritage... and the wide variety of cooking I grew up with... but also just from traveling around and cooking around friends' and partners' diets.

I post a lot of pictures of things I cook and eat on my family-friendly Instagram (as well as a bunch of pictures from various shows I'm involved with or attend)... feel free if you'd like to follow! http://instagram.com/echozaurora (DJ/Producer name, don't post about pr0n on it lolplz for the sake of accidentally linking my grandparents to something xD)

Anyway, here's a meal I did for a couple friends last month that wanted something Indian-inspired:

Tandoori chicken, mixed bean masala served over yellow rice, naan bread, a savory yogurt based dipping sauce, and Greek yogurt with chopped mint and raspberries.

I didn't bake the naan from scratch because of the time restraint and lack of having the right things around... (and the yogurt started out plain)... but they loved the meal!

Occasionally I make a pretty decent curry. Masaman is my favourite at the moment.

I have an agreement with the local fire department not to make anything more complex than coffee any more...

Just call me the soup dragon (arcane UK children's television reference there).

I'm pretty well known for coming up with new soup recipes.

Today I made a huge pot of carrot, coriander, ginger and orange. Rather nice.

I cooked a whole fresh trout (cleaned and butterflied, of course) in bacon. Nothing else, no salt, no pepper ... it was fantastic. So simple.

Even nicer if you add some parsley butter and a few toasted flaked almonds.

Yum.
