About this Cook
I am a retired flight attendant living north of Boston with my husband, an airline pilot, happily busying myself with volunteer work. With our “finicky child” off to college, I am cooking for two. I collect cookbooks and have no idea how many I have. With a glass of wine and a cookbook in my hands I am totally transported to my “happy place”. I admire both the creators of the recipes and the food stylists who make their creations look so appetizing in the photographs. Of course, the helpful reviews and fabulous photos from others keep me coming back to Allrecipes. I don’t consider myself a good cook, just a good "chooser of recipes". One of my favorite sources for new recipes and cooking tips are my many friends who are passionate and talented cooks; I am constantly inspired and delighted by their culinary expertise.
My favorite things to cook
I love the occasional indulgence, but for the most part I like tasty but healthy meals. I love trying new recipes so a recipe has to knock my socks off for me to make it more than once.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Everyone gets to choose his or her own birthday meal, from beginning to end. We have had some unusual meals and even more unusual birthday cakes, pies, tortes, etc.
My cooking triumphs
I love sharing recipes. I always feel great when guests leave my home clutching favored recipes in their hands.
My cooking tragedies
There was a “nut loaf” incident once, but I would hardly call it a tragedy.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
I made these with mini peanut butter cups and chocolate chips and they still didn’t have much flavor. Nothing stands out about these cookies flavor wise and they get very hard very quickly.

Salmon with Lemon and Dill
Great quick and easy salmon! I used fresh dill and garlic and it was delicious.

Flounder Mediterranean
Following the advice of other reviewers I made the sauce as directed on the stove and baked the flounder separately. It came out great! Unfortunately, when I grabbed fresh basil out of the fridge it was far less perky than when I put it away so I had to use dried basil. It was still good, but it would have been infinitely better with fresh basil.
