About this Cook
I started cooking when I met my fiance. We moved acrossed the world and I missed the food back at home so I started trying to make everything I missed and became passionate about cooking. Sometimes it is tough to replicate some of the things because I dont have access to some of the ingredients here that the recipes call for, but it only makes me better rounded as a cook because I can deal with just about anything now. My passion really kicked started when my Grandmother bought me the traditional Better Homes New Cook Book which is a replica of the oldest edition.
My favorite things to cook
I am in the process of obtaining as much knowledge as possible in cooking. I love trying new recipes, but lately I have been very interesting in baking.
My cooking triumphs
Making yeast bread. I was avoiding it and researching and then I just did it and it came out amazing. Now I bake everyday, and love it.

Fudgy Brownies I
These were not good at all. They had no flavor, and my Fiance even said "are these suppose to be good for you or something, why is there no taste". That should sum it up for most of you. I used Dutch Process cocoa, I guess it could be the problem, but other than that followed the recipe to a T. I wouldnt reccommend these. Sorry.

Russian Tea Cakes I
These are great for those who love russian tea cakes, a great flavor. Make sure to bake them for the whole 12 min to make sure they are hardened, otherwise they crumble slightly.

Amazingly Good Eggnog
Im giving this 3 stars because I feel like it was good, but it wasnt Amazing. I felt it had a good flavor, but the consistency wasnt what I had expected. I like my eggnog thick. It does have a great spectrum of spicey after tastes which I did enjoy. I would reccommend making a half batch the first time you make it just to make sure you enjoy it before going through an entire dozen eggs. Do try, cause it is tasty.
