About this Cook
I'm single in my mid- 20's living in Chicago. I love to try new thing and use friends and family as guinea pigs. I like to go out but more and more I'm enjoying staying in and hanging out with friends. But when a good cover band is on the agenda..watch out cause here I come!
My favorite things to cook
I love to make anything with peanut butter and chocolate, I love the creamy texture! I also enjoy cakes, cake decorating, and making anything Italian.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family is originally from Poland and my grandma lives with my parents. We always make pierogi, cabbage rolls, and other traditional dishes. My favorite is the beet salad
My cooking triumphs
This past year I made Thanksgiving dinner for my family. I did a test run on my friend two weeks before the actual date. Although I thought I was going to cry when the bottom of the blender fell off and about 5 cups of chocolate mousse slipped on the kitchen floor, everything turned out well. I deep fried the turkey and it turned out great. Anytime someone asks for a recipe and when the BF said he'd rather eat at my hosue than at a resaurant.
My cooking tragedies
Although I have make cheesecake plenty of times before, I tried to make it using mini muffin pans. I don't know what I did wrong but everyone of the muffins burnt! I did once make meatballs and left them in the slow cooker over night (I have done this numerous times). However, this time I put it on the low setting instead of the warm setting. Not fun to clean! I also added peppermint to a dark chocolate sauce instead of vanilla. I hoped I couple just full off a mint chocolate cake. DEF not!!! It was like drinking choc milk and Altoids at the same time. I also melt spatulas and kitchen timers like its my job. Last but not least...spilling melted cheese on my hand/wrist.
