Serious Eats team.. we pose the question to you!
I'm new here but i love this site. Somewhere to read and communicate with other people who love food in not just a eat-to-live way! its refreshing and as the wife of a programmer and webaite designer, i can tell u the site is very user friendly. thanks for being here and thanks to all involved who make it such an interesting place to visit!!!
Reading cookbooks
i love cookbooks too. i think it really escapes many people who are not in to food why you would sit and read a bunch of recipes that you may or may not ever make! But i have to also say, im also a big menu reader. pretty much anything food related really...

Let's talk nuts!
since ive had to cut out a lot of sugary snacks, nuts have become a mainstay. I eat em on their own (macs, cashews, almonds, peanuts, oooh pecans), and i use them in every recipe i can. i find that almonds can go in to everything. i love them in a basil pesto instead of pine nuts... and pecans are fantastic in any kind of cookie (even low sugar ones!). Cashews are delicious slightly roasted and cool. I think nuts r close to a perfect food.
What's your favorite kitchen sound?
not a cooking sound but the first crunchy bite of a crispy apple... and anything in the kitchenaid b/c anything im making in there is going to be good.

30 yr-old banker in NYC. I love to cook and eat but can't always find for cooking. Luckily, my husband loves to cook as well and is a fantastic cook. So for now, I'm sticking with eating! We love to travel and trying new ingredients or cuisines.
My accomplishments are homemade ice cream, spicy kimchee fried rice, and one pot clam bake. I would love to learn how to make pasta from scratch.

Nice topic.

I work at an independent record label in NYC, and a record store part-time. Most of the folks in my fast-paced line of work eat so unhealthfully (and untastefully!) that it makes me cringe, but I keep comments to myself. In my world of limited labor-of-love salaries, cooking most of my own food is a huge money-saver, even if it means getting up early, no matter how late I was out at a rock show the night before... Thanks for this question - it's very interesting to hear about everyone's different lives/occupations!
It's not a profession, but I also have this blog about fruits and vegetables: Produce Stories

Left grad school in Eugene, OR and became a rabbit rancher, remodeling and new construction contractor, delivery truck driver, church administrator, mortgage broker, pastor and missionary. I know both wealth and poverty and have eaten my way virtually around the world enjoying the haute and the not so hot! I can prepare most of it. I may have changed careers often but cooking has been an abiding hobby.

I'm a 65 year young retiree....looking for my next occupation. Currently I'm trying to learn how to write, after reading voraciously all my life.. I've done a bit of editing in the past and written a newsletter for an orchid society, and articles regarding computers and their operation. I've been messing with computers since the early 70's.
I'm retired from Economic and Small Biz Development in CA, living in mid-coastal OR....home of no restaurants and no grocery stores of any merit....LOL. I do a lot of beading, primarily dog portraits and this is my relaxation....mindless stitching of wee beads..it's great.
Aren't we a wonderfully diverse group? It makes me happy to see younger people very interested in food, in my age group everyone is taking Geritol and eating soft foods....borrrrring. I like ethnic foods of Eastern Europe, India, Mexico, and I love Cajun food too.

I'm 55, originally from Denver, living in Manhattan for the last 35 years. After a quarter century as a high-tech management consultant, I'm now the right hand person to a well-known restaurateur, thanks to a felicitous introduction by our beloved SE overlord. I'm lucky enough to have an outdoor space big enough for two smokers and a grill.

Such great diversity here! I'm 43, live in the Seacoast area on the MA/NH border. I love living near the ocean and bring my 2 rotties to the beach every morning. Beyond that, I left corporate America (insurance industry) to work with my husband in his computer business. I also work with dogs doing canine massage, reiki and acupressure. I have always loved to cook & bake. I have learned so much from the myriad food blogs I peruse..it's amazing how much food there is to explore. At the moment I am pondering the truffles that were given to me by a friend who received them from his friend during his visit from Italy....ah, truffles from Italy!

21 year old medical student (going into year 4 of 6) in Dublin, born and bred here. Love cooking to relax and also because I'm only ever home at weird hours when the options are cook something to eat or starve! My favourite thing to cook is fillet steak and my favourite thing to bake is white bread - both so satisfying!

I'm almost 26, and am a journalist in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have had the wonderful opportunity, while working at the newspaper in Lodi, Calif., to judge a clam chowder cook off, a chili cook off (with 30 pots of chili!), do some food writing and do a restaurant profile. I enjoy making desserts. I've been cooking since taking classes in 4-H in third grade, though I'm not as good of a cook as I'd like to be and know little about gourmet foods (though I'm learning through this blog!).

I'm 23, live in Minneapolis, work in Publicity for a book publisher, and tend to be a food evangelist to my picky eater friends. I found this site through the Amateur Gourmet, which I found through Orangette, who I discovered when her book deal was announced in a tiny blurb in Publishers Weekly. It makes me so happy to find people even more into food than I am! Thank you SE!
