I am in the United States military. My job in the military is a cook. Since I've been in, I've had a hard time adapting to the fact the military cooks in mass amounts and strays from the quality factor of food. I like to challenge the people I work with and especially myself to go against the basic standard and make something worth enjoying to eat rather than just to fuel up for the day. I don't believe in a proper way to cook food with certain ingredients going with certain spices. It's all about experimentation. Alot of my recipies are very untraditional, but I like them and use others for "taste tests". I have had no complaints so far. :)
