About this Cook
My name is Cecelia I'm 15 years old and I'm a freshman in high school.
My favorite things to cook
I love baking for friends. Anything that will make them happy makes me happy.
My cooking tragedies
I baked a pie once and while taking it out of the oven I dropped it. Everywhere. It was probably the worst thing I've done while baking. I managed to put the pie back together. It still tasted great, but it looked like a wreck.

Orange-Ginger Tofu Triangles
I make this recipe about every other week. It is sooo good! There are a few notes to make, though. One is that there is truly a lot of marinade. I would definitely use two cakes of tofu with his recipe. I typically, based on what is in my house, substitute parsley for the cilantro and use a tablespoon of ketchup plus a teaspoon of liquid smoke for the dried chilies. I also find that the amount of oil is unnecessary. I use 1 tablespoon of each oil, and have excellent results. I also flip the tofu over a bit past halfway when baking. I usually brown these again in a dry skillet before serving. Lastly, make this recipe, you will enjoy it!!

Pumpkin Flax Quickbread
I halved the sugar to make this recipe more of a bread than a dessert, and it was delicious! My only problem was that the consistency-- the bottom half rose and the top half became condensed. This is heavenly warmed in the oven a topped with some almond butter. A definite repeat recipe, though I will have to work on how to achieve a better consistency. Thank you so much!

Spicy Mango Sweet Potato Chicken
Was really, really good. I made this just for me, and veganized it. I replaced tofu for the chicken, and pressed for 10 minutes before hand. I used equal parts water and brown sugar in place of the honey, and used only 1/2 teaspoon of hot sauce and soy sauce. It turned out with the perfect sweetness and saltiness, but for those who like spicy it definitely could have used more. Overall great recipe and easy to make for one!
