I am 34 and live with my kitty but I love to cook for my friends and family. I am a host who loves to go above and beyond to please my guests.
My favorite things to cook
Anything I think my friends and family will love.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom was a stay at home when I was a child. She was always a big baker and so my love of making cookies comes from her. She also taught me important things like how to take inexpensive ingredients and make them a filling family dinner.
My cooking triumphs
I am getting known for my theme meals. The best one I pulled off was this year for the Olypmics I went all Greek. Greek meat, even the cucumber sauce from scratch. I got a ton of compliments on it and enjoyed every minute preparing it including shredding those cucumbers.
My cooking tragedies
Although I have cooked a hundred meals in a pressure cooker. This one time I had company over and I wanted to make a good impression. Of course there was a strict timetable and I wanted to get the food on the table so instead of waiting for all the steam to exit out of the pressure cooker I took the lid off. Well lets just say I am still finding little pieces of potato and carrot in the kitchen. It went everywhere and made one heck of a mess and I had to clean and cook all new vegetables.
