I grew up watching my mom cook. Now, my mom is one of those people who can't actually follow a recipe - she always ALWAYS modifies things to her own tastes, and usually makes them better.
Both my brother and I have developed a love of food through my mom. While I am just a chef-for-fun, my brother is actually studying to get his culinary arts degree! I'm proud to say I've taught him a thing or two about cooking along the way... and I'm even more proud that now he's turned around and started teaching me things.
When cooking for myself I tend to use recipes I've made up, or take a number of different recipes and modify them to whatever I have available.
Though I don't cook them often, I love ethnic foods - Japanese, Thai, Mexican, Vietnamese, Lebanese, Indian. And anything else. Suggest a cuisine I haven't tried, and I'll gladly sample some.
I think my favorite food of all time is Lebanese style Grape Leaves, which my mother-in-law taught me how to make.
