About this Cook
I'm a 24 year old graduate in accounting and finance. I studied at The University of Wales! I love the outdoors and going to the cinema!
My favorite things to cook
I love baking and cooking old traditional recipes from England. I follow a recipe for the first time and more often than not i tweak it to mine and my partners tastes!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My first attempt at cooking on my own was a ginger cake when i was about 10 years old and i remembered the recipe from memory to impress my auntie carole (who i learned to bake from) Also i gain alot of inspiration from my grandmother and my mother who are both amazing cooks!
My cooking triumphs
Creating a feast for about 20 students at university high quality food on a very tight budget.. they said it couldnt be done... i showed them :P
My cooking tragedies
I cannot make cookies!! I would love to make a chewy cookie!! They always turn out bad for whatever reason! So if you know of any full proof recipes please let me know!!!!!

Dark Chocolate Cake I
I wanted a chocolate cake for my boyfriends birthday and I chose this one. . . the story went that i split the batter into 2 and the first batch sunk in the middle but the second came out perfect! (i have no idea what i did!) Everyone loved this cake and I have given the recipe to three of my friends already! (one a chef!) The sunk cake did not go to waste... heated up with some ice cream and it was amazing! Thank you very much for this! A definite keeper! :)

Award Winning Chili Con Carne
me and my partner loved this! However next time we will be reducing the amount of heat - a little 2 spicy but such a yummy recipe! I added a tsp of ground cinnamon to bring out the flavour and also added some sived tomatoes through out as it seemed to be getting a little thick! We served it with corn bread & sour cream! A keeper! Thank you for sharing!

Mixed Grill of Sausage, Chicken and Lamb With Tandoori Flavorings
I only did the lamb from this as i needed a quick idea for my BBQ! My partner wasnt over the moon about it! He felt the spice over powered everything. I think it just needs a bit of a tweak for our tastes.
