About this Cook
I am a free spirited person trapped in a workaholic's body. I like to make people happy with what I make.One day I would like to get into preserving my own fruit and vegetables.I think it is sometimes hard,but we need to get back to basics and stop buying so much highly refined processed junk!
My favorite things to cook
I like to cook everything and try atleast everything once. Though I dislike custard,rhubarb,oysters and canned creamed rice pudding. My specialties are probably cakes and muffins.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Sitting around the wood fire heater all taking turns to stir the pot of real pea and ham soup so it doesnt burn at the bottom of the pot.Pots of hot water under bowls of chocolate for melting to make handmade chocolates. Every year at Christmas we always have Fruit salad in honour of our beautiful grandmother who passed away in 1989 from a long battle from cancer.
My cooking triumphs
My perfect jam swiss roll.Apple crumble. First roast leg of lamb.
My cooking tragedies
Making scrambled eggs and cracked a rotten egg by accident into the mix.

Buttery Cinnamon Cake
The best cinnamon style cake I have made and eaten. My whole family loves it as well. I made no changes to the recipe and it is so easy to make compared to the other ones. Thank you for sharing!

Chocolate Pound Cake I
I made this for my Dad's 63rd birthday and he absolutely loved it.I choose this recipe because its very easy to follow and can be whipped up quite quickly as opposed to other recipes which can be too time consuming. This one will always have a place in my recipe box.Thank you for sharing.

German Potato Pancakes
I tried to follow recipe,but 2 tablespoons of flour didnt seem enough to me, so I added slightly more.Taste was okay,but to be honest I think I will stick to my own recipe.Thank you for sharing never the less.
