Hi Friends,

My name is Tim,

I am a chef from Melbourne Australia with a great passion for food.

I have ran restaurants across the state, hotels as well as function events.

Great to be here.

Welcome to CookingBites @timmyc. We have a couple of members in Australia (including the site owner @SatNavSaysStraightOn who is from UK but living in Australia). We aim to be a friendly community and we love new members! Please feel free to join in wherever you wish. We have a regular thread: What did you cook or eat today (May 2019)? And we also usually have some fun challenges going on - see here.

What types of food do you cook? Do you specialise in a particular type of cuisine?

Most of my experience is around Italian cuisine, although i am very competent around most styles.

I find once the fundamental basic skills are perfected the rest comes relatively easy with time.

what type of food well.....lol

At the moment alot of desserts like creme brulee, panna cotta, tiramisu, pavlova.

Making fresh pasta from hand as well as all the sauces and stocks.

Risotto.

etc

Most of my experience is around Italian cuisine,

A lot of members here are keen on Italian food - and we have a resident Italian cook @MypinchofItaly who always posts delicious looking food! Feel free to start a new thread about an aspect of Italian cooking if you wish.

Hi Tim

Welcome to CookingBites

I've only been to Melbourne the once though my hubby had been there quite a few times now (through work) . I know he enjoys himself when he's down there, always finding a new place to eat.

Hello from nz as well, I love Melbourne, been there lots. The Melbourne jail in town is eerie to visit, a great place to spend some time. Lygon st is my fave for foods. Look forward to some of your tips.

I joined recently also. I remember experiencing many of the same issues. But with the help of @morning glory and @SatNavSaysStraightOn , I discovered this cooking forum to be one of the most vibrant and insightful food discussions on the internet. I look forward to seeing some of your recipes.

Hi @timmyc. I'm from Australia too, though a bit further North as am living and working up here in Toowoomba. I'm also a relatively new member, but have found this to be a friendly and engaging forum.
