About this Cook
My favorite family cooking traditions
I am trying to learn some traditional swiss cooking. My grandma moved here from switzerland so I like to make her things that remind her of back home.

Old Fashioned Apple Dumplings
these were delicious! I used a premade pie dough because I did not have time to make my own. I thought that the caramel sauce would get a little thicker and might try thickening it a little next time but still delicious. Served it with vanilla ice cream.

Thai Red Chicken Curry
I really wanted to make a good red curry but after reading some of the reviews on this recipe and noticing something not so authentic like cornstarch in the ingredients I decided to do some research. I made something that was still similar to this recipe: 1/2 yellow pepper, 1/2 red pepper both thinly slice, one carrot thinly sliced, 3 tbsp of red curry paste, 1 can coconut mild, 2 1/2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 2 chicken breast sliced thinly, 1 cup bean sprouts, 10 snow pea shoots, and 1/4 cup cilantro. So you can see it was similar but much more authentic and the flavours were amazing. I probably shouldn't even be rating this recipe seen as I didn't really follow it through but I wanted to share with everyone what I did and let you all know I was so impressed with the flavours. I must thank this recipe for giving me the basic iddea.

Rich and Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
I am only giving it four stars for now. I did not have butter so I had to use margarine. I think the butter flavour is what this was missing so I will make it again and change the rating if it is 5 stars with butter. I used half & half cream and peeled but did not seed the tomatoes. I also added 2 tsp of sugar to settle the acidity of the tomatoes.
