I have lived in small town Oklahoma, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, and Houston. I consider the Bay Area to be the perfect place for one who loves food. The opportunities for great dining are endless, it seems. Every conceivable type of ingredient (well, almost) can likely be obtained here.....and we have great kitchen/cookware stores which carry anything one might need. I always loved food, eating, dining out, entertaining, etc. I started cooking using recipes from such books as the Joy of Cooking, The New York Times Cookbook, Betty Crocker books, and many of the paperback Sunset cookbooks. I still have all of these books. My first stab at 'gourmet' cooking came in the early 80's. It was about the time that "The Silver Palate Cookbook" came out, and I got interested in good cookware. Lots of time has passed since then, and I've become a much better cook but have not had lots of time to devote to it because of other obligations in life (e.g. WORK). I like almost any kind of food, but I particularly and fond of 'comfort food' along with Italian, French, German, Mexican, Indian, Spanish, Chinese, Thai and other international cuisines. Food from the South of France and Tuscany are favorites. I love almost everything about food......researching cookbooks, browsing food-related websites, creating menus, using my kitchen's "toys", the preparation and presentation of meals and enjoying all of this with friends and family. I do NOT enjoy cleaning up, though. :-) Ron Phillips Ron Phillips rkphillips0717@comcast.net 1 Ron 0 M 0 536 My earliest memories of things related to food are the meals my Grandmother Rodgers prepared on their farm in Oklahoma. She was an incredible cook, and everything was homemade with fresh ingredients, much of which was grown on their farm. Even today, I long for her food. Unfortunately, she did not cook using recipes (as far as I know) and her 'recipes' are lost forever. I'm still trying to come up with a biscuit recipe that is anywhere near like hers! :-) Since I've lived in several major world-class cities and have had considerable travel opportunities, my tastes have become much more diverse than when I was that little boy eating Grandma's home cooking. false false false 1 false Phillips 656 2008-07-17T21:39:18+00:00 true false 44b448596d3eab05ea9a64fa4b992d60aabdce6b 0 4720 http://s3.amazonaws.com/grecipes/public/pictures/users/4720/ron_s_photo.jpg false 1 39 63 0 43 b026c821d039f8e008b758fe84752999a52b449b 2008-09-18T20:50:31+00:00 0 2 ron-phillips-536 0 --- -

My wife Nancy does most of the daily cooking in our house, but I usually plan and cook one meal each week. I've spent 2 years living in Japan, and have a great appreciation for Asian food. My favorites are Thai, Japanese and Vietnamese, but I also enjoy Chinese and Korean. I spent time in the Indian town of Pune, and also love Indian food. I had wonderful food there cooked by Ekta Vengateri, a good friend. Still, French and Italian are probably my favorite cuisines, with Greek, Turkish and Moroccan food just a short step behind! John Spottiswood John Spottiswood john@cookeatshare.com 1 500056816 John 2 M 0 3 I originally learned to love food from my grandmother, Betty Carr Spottiswood. She had only a small number of dishes that she cooked, but she cooked them with pride, love and humility. No matter how wonderful her roast was, she'd always complain that it was too tough or too dry as we all gobbled it down happily! Later, when I was about 14, I began to join my family friend and rugby coach, Pete Frichette, for dinner once a week. Pete is a true renaissance man--an architect, athlete, scholar, and passionate cook. I began to come over early to enjoy a glass of wine (a treat at age 17) and to help Pete prepare the meal. Pete taught me about fresh herbs, italian and french seasoning, wild game, root vegetables, and the wonders of homemade broths. After my sisters and I moved out, my father David Spottiswood also became an avid chef. Every Sunday we congregate at his house and share the most wonderful meals. He is well traveled and as a result well versed in many cuisines. I have learned numerous wonderful recipes from him. Last but not least, my aunt Jeanne Templeman is an amazing cook. Many of my favorite family dinners, and most delicious meals, have been around her table. false false false 1 true Spottiswood miyaspot 87 2008-01-15T14:35:14+00:00 true false 5253bf4eae0c3a7cf1e6644bd8b0eca78a637116 84 5 http://s3.amazonaws.com/grecipes/public/pictures/users/5/my_profile_photo.jpg false 1 55342 3804 10 43 961a2a0d53027f143cebcc2d3e5f9db7b73446b7 66 2 john-spottiswood-3 0 --- - 149 - 157 - 188 - 395 - 431 - 433 - 435 - 436 - 441 - 452 - 513 - 687 - 688 - 689 - 695 - 707 - 708 - 719 - 722 - 810 - 770 - 4383 - 408 - 10507 - 10506 - 14522 - 19171 Love cooking eating & sharing 0 2009-11-21T20:28:29+00:00 94070 --- - 3 - 5 - 14 - 4 - 9 - 240 - 1 - 180 - 71 - 150 - 620 - 1196 - 536 - 1195 - 3136 - 281 - 4590 - 193 - 127 - 23 - 14891 - 20374 - 21177 - 21813 - 23371 - 25068 - 16135 - 23370 - 14569 - 27662 24 --- - 2 - 3 - 5 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 11 - 6 - 19 - 66 - 88 - 96 - 105 --- - 4 --- - 73068 - 73069 - 73070 - 73071 - 73072 San Mateo 0 true 1 1 2008-01-15T14:01:57+00:00 4dbcbc4abaab94152d1bfd828337e0f93fffa7d8 I am Ruby on Rails developer but also love to cook, eat and share... well, without cook part maybe...
