what's your cooking personality

i am addicted to quizzes. especially the ones that supposedly tell you something about yourself that you didn't know.

so imagine my joy when i stumbled on NYT's article on on healthy cooking and found a quiz telling me which of my personality traits manifests itself in my cooking!

turns out i'm an innovator (big surprise). i chose E on the first four questions and A on the last question. but i would say i'm a blend of innovator and healthy.

i'd be lying if i said i didn't take inspiration from NYT's health section recipes. in fact, my current favourite soup is the pureed carrot soup but with a few modifications: i roast the carrots first to bring out the sweetness, i skip the sugar , i add a roasted bulb of garlic to give it a nice contrast to the carrots and fresh herbs, i only use salt to sweat the onions while sauteeing them and i only use olive oil. it's simple and tasty and it's so easy to make.

so, what's YOUR cooking personality?
