Any surprises that Hillary says she does scrambled eggs best, Kuchinic is a vegan, Romney says his specialty is hotdogs and Huckabee likes to throw a slab of meat on the grill (along with with most of the other Republicans.)
USAToday:

Democrats

• Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware: Pasta
• Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York: "I'm a lousy cook, but I make pretty good soft scrambled eggs."
• Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut: "An August New England dinner: Lobster, corn and tomatoes."
• John Edwards, former North Carolina senator: Hamburgers.
• Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio: Hot water, according to his wife, Elizabeth. He doesn't cook. Kucinich is a vegan. He favors fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois: Chili.
• Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico: A diet milkshake

Republicans

• Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas: Beef.
