Whats your favorite cuisine when cooking at home?

My first was obviously cajun cuisine, being taught by my grandmother and father growing up.The usual etouffees, bisques, gumbos, etc. A few years ago, my wife bought me a Julia Child cookbook and I fell in love with French Cuisine. I love the techniques and subtleties, as well as the mother sauces and those branching from it. Its also quite similar to cajun cooking with rouxs, and the mirepoix ( onion, celery, carrot in french, bell pepper in cajun).
I want to branch out now and try to master a different cuisine. Maybe Asian, but that seems daunting.
What's your fav?

I cook what my kids and wife will eat so we revolve around a few 5-8 recipes, but it all involves around browning some sort of meat.
They are prepared when the box fan is in the kitchen and the windows are open to get ready.

I went on an Asian kick a few years ago. The actual cooking is pretty easy, you just need a good wok. Many of the ingredients require a trip to an Asian market to find. Even something common like miso paste was hard to find at the local grocery stores.
I mostly cook Italian and Tex-Mex at home, because I have a couple of picky eaters in the house.

Im so confused at your post

There are a lot of things we like to cook, but if I had to pick my favorite I'd say tacos.
We usually marinate a flank steak and do homemade tortillas. It's time consuming but delicious.

I used to make that dish quite often. Homemade tortillas are mind-blowing if you've never tried one before.

It's definitely a game-changer.

Honestly, I freaking love cooking pizzas at home. We've adopted some really good pizza variations from Plated. Second is probably Indian food.

Yeah, I'm with you on this. Gumbos, etouffees, bisques, jambalayas, sauce piquant, seafood dishes and then the traditional N.O. dishes that are so popular.
I also do Italian with lasagnas, meatballs/Italian Sausage/red gravy with pastas, Fettuccini, alfredo sauces, stuffed artichokes, pizza, etc.
Asian including fried rice, meat and veggie dishes with different sauces, sushi, etc.

Oof, that's more than a bit broad....4.4 billion people, 2,000+ languages. Prob need to narrow at least to a particular country.
Thai is a good place to start. You can buy premade curry pastes as an easy entry point, or do a deep dive and make your own. If you wanna go crazy deep, David Thompson's thai cookbook is amazingly detailed.

It's whatever style I am learning at the moment. I have been cooking/ learning ramen lately and have it down pretty well after a couple of times. I even used Dashi instead of a normal seafood stock in my last seafood gumbo. Also made some miso soup and a veggie meshi inspired by what East Side King in Austin does.

French is the most commonly cooked because I love braised food.
After that, Asian. We have so many random Asian ingredients that it doesn’t require trips to the store.

I’ve considered going down the list of countries and cooking something from each one. Afghanistan is first, I believe

Typically continental European recipes. I get a strong craving for southern fried chicken and rutabagas every now and then though
