I wrote this for my wife's recipes website a few months ago. But I like it so much that I have decided to share it with everyone :-) :-)
Ode to Tech Cooks
No potatoes, no carrots, no garlic nor leeks
But algos and APIs, ambrosia for us geeks
No whey, no milk, no butter nor curds
Just programming poils, to bond with fellow nerds
Not how to make pickle, with dills that are kosher
But how to get out of one, with clever use of closure
Not how to jazz up that boring curry with spices
But how to resize in real-time with push, pop and splices
No mention of pesto, pate, or fry-less fwitters
We're itchin' to share how we wall-posts and twitters
You won't find us by the oven, or sweatin' by the stove-top
We're lounging on that sofa, logged into our lovetop
Not chopping, not dicing, not sifting by the pound
But hacking, tuning, refining, 'til Zarro boogs found!
PS. BTW, I know at least one other person (Stewart Alsop of Alsop-Louie) likes this poem. But he's a self-confessed foodie like me.

BTW, I forgot to mention - Steward Alsop (Alsop-Louie) said he likes this poem and said something along the lines of the first geek poem he'd been sent by email.
