I'm Shane and I have been the best cook in the house, whatever house it was, since I was about 15. That's not to say I was a great cook in those early days, just more competent than anyone else in the house. Over the years I have added skills, though I still can't get hollandaise right.
I particularly enjoy smoking and grilling and was a butcher off and on. I dabble in wine making and used to make beer. I live in SE Ohio.
Discussing any and all cooking. From baking to grilling, cooking for large or small gatherings, historical, ethnic or regional cooking - anything you find interesting is on the table for discussion!
