Greek Squid (Soupies)
About this Cook
I'm a medicine student and i love to cook! Apart from just messing around in the kitchen when my mom was cooking, and licking spoons, i really started cooking when i moved away from home at 17 to study. Now i'm hooked.
My favorite things to cook
Cookies and cupcakes and all things pretty! Plus greek and cypriot foods... where i come from, people sure know how to eat!
My favorite family cooking traditions
There is no possible way my family's cooking traditions would fit here :) Anyone seen "my big fat greek wedding"? Well, to me and my family it was funny because most of it was true!
My cooking triumphs
Every time my family or friends moan over my food is considered a triumph!
My cooking tragedies
Don't ask! Let me just say a few words(each one describing a different occasion, mind you): fire, explosion, tears.

Sugar and Spice Muffins
How can this recipe have so many good reviews? I followed the directions exactly, and they came out very bland. They weren't awful or anything, just no distincitive taste, no pretty texture, nothing. I can sure use my ingredients for something more impressive and tasty than this.

Greek Lemon Cake
Light and lemony and just perfect for a warm cup of coffee and a good book! I used margarine istead of butter and it came out fine. I also drizzled a simple powdered sugar/lemon juice frosting on top and the extra tanginess was just lovely. Yum! Love it!

Hot Fudge Sundae Cake
This recipe is very easy, i like the concept of it, and it's not bad. However, it's not good either. The main problem is that it's very bland, the taste is very...one dimensional. It's just...sweet. It seems to be missing something very important taste-wise, that i just can't put my finger on. Not bad, but not good enough to make again. Sorry!
