About this Cook
Currently I reside in Belgium. I graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 2005 and married my husband (a sailor). A great part of being a military spouse is traveling and living in different places. Right now I am enrolled in the Masters Program of Psychology and Counseling. I love being a full time student and cooking is my great escape from it all.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook everything! I'm fairly adventerousm and enjoy cooking different kinds of food.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love cooking with friends and family. Getting everyone involved in the kitchen and eating lavish meals together is a great joy.
My cooking triumphs
Cooking triumphs? My first Christmas meal at my house. A roast, crab cakes, cream spinach and to top it off a flourless chocolate torte to die for!
My cooking tragedies
Cooking tragedies, my first Thanksgiving. I was in charge of the baked turkey and found a great recipe, I was all excited. My husband was in charge ofdeep frying a second turkey. So, when it came to prepare his turkey, I discovered a second bag and exclaimed,"wow, your turkey came with 2 bags of giblets, mine only had one." My mother-in-law then replied, no they all come with 2 bags. Horrified, I ran to the stove and performed turkey surgery! I removed the second bag, and salvaged the turkey! :P It was pretty embarassing!

Pistachio Crusted Chicken
Absolutely phenomenal! Great for entertaining, everyone is super impressed. My mom loved these, inlaws, and friends, they all wanted the recipe! and it's so easy! even easier- get the de-shelled pistachios :) Also, tonight i'm going to try this recipe with paneko bread crumbs for an even lighter taste :) For the sauce, i used a raspberry syrup for desert, it works perfectly!

Hong Kong Style Egg Tarts
Very authentic to what you would get at a Chinese bakery. The flavor of the custard was right on. I didn't have a strainer but the texture was perfect. As per other's suggestions I didn't as much sugar. It turned out very well, I'm very pleased :) and I had people asking me for the recipe! It made my Chinese New Year feast extra spectacular. Thank you!
