About this Cook
I am a dynamo!
My favorite things to cook
Depends on the season. In the summer nothing beats grilling out with friends. Fall it's pumpkin pies, apple crisp, sweet potatoes and squash. Winter - beef stew, chicken soup, corned beef and cabbage! Spring.... Well, who knows. In New England spring is either winter or summer. Also, pizza year round - fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, delicious and much healthier.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom would make roast beef and let me chew on the strings used to tie up the roast.
My cooking triumphs
Any time someone eats something I've prepared and gets happy, basically.

Creamy Carrot Soup
Yum! Two comments: First, I added half a bunch of mustard greens with the carrots and potato for added nutrition and flavor. The flavor was really good, but it gave the soup a very minor grittiness that wasn't great. Second, the person who complained about this not being vegetarian a couple years ago is hilarious. Just use vegetable broth?

Hot and Sour Tofu Soup (Suan La Dofu Tang)
This is a good recipe! I felt quite healthy after eating. I modified it only a little bit. Instead of silken tofu I used firm, which was fine. I also thinly sliced two cloves of garlic and threw them in with the green onions. Drizzled 2 eggs instead of 1. Used 6 cups of water instead of 4, but only used 4 cups worth of veggie boullion. Finally, used red Thai curry paste, and low-sodium soy sauce. I'm unsure where the "sour" comes from - I used double the rice vinegar (love vinegar) and it wasn't really very sour at all. It was good though, with the extra water added and low-sodium soy, it was nicely balanced and not too salty at all.

Sweet and Savory Kale
Does not need the sugar at all! Used spicy brown mustard + some powdered mustard, is great. Eating it again now, the leftovers are very tasty too on the second day.
