I have had jobs in the food industry before but I love cooking at home. I'm somewhat of a chef.
I love cooking as an art! I've never prepared food for a living though.
As an art do you mean making pretty arrangements of food? That's one of the most important aspects I think.
I just mean art as in the skill of learning cooking techniques and understanding how to make new tastes spring forth.
Oh yes there's lots of concepts of art in cooking. There's even a scientific cooking where you cook molecules instead of regular food.
Recently I've been experimenting a lot with Indian cuisine. The way it uses spices, herbs and vegetables varies considerably from traditional western cuisine. What do you think of Indian food?
I've actually never tried Indian food. I'm a Vegan so I'm usually a picker eater but I did like the look of Samosa and Pakori if I got those right.
Samosas are good. Personally I like to make curry. Curry really is a variety of dishes, many of which are traditionally vegan (often for religious reasons).
It's been on my list to try Indian food for a while but I don't like picking new food when I'm hungry. There are a few restaurants nearby though.
Indian cuisine
Indian cuisine consists of a wide variety of regional and traditional cuisines native to the Indian subcontinent.

2001, he became head chef for the first time, at Bellamys Dining Room, and then at Great Fosters in Surrey. Kerridge has said, "We were cooking fantastic food but it was a huge amount of pressure. I’d be there at 7:20 in the morning and leaving at 1 o’clock the next morning, six days a week. You’d never see daylight. I did that for three and a half years and loved it! Everything about it is full on; and you have to love that about it
