About this Cook
Cooking is my hobby, it is what I do for fun.
My favorite things to cook
Breads and desserts are the best to make. But I don't have a specific menu that I like to cook, I prefer to browse recipes and try new things based on the ingredients that I find on sale at the grocery store or in my pantry.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Cooking Italian for the holidays!
My cooking triumphs
My cooking triumphs are definitely etouffee and eclairs- both items were very difficult to perfect but now I can make them beautifully.
My cooking tragedies
The first time I made aloo matar with naan I had to throw it all away. It was that gross.

Best Ever Pie Crust
This crust is way better then the one I've been using for the past 20 years! I think it's the extra shortening. It was light, flaky and perfect with my homemade pumpkin pie!

My Best Clam Chowder
Great recipe! I had to change a few things because my cupboards were bare but this recipe is an excellent base for any variation of seafood chowder. I used 2% milk and mixed it with the flour like a roux, to about a peanut butter color. I also added a can of tuna and a can of salmon because I was short one can of clams and I wanted that fishy taste. I also used homemade chicken broth instead of water to soften the veg. The results were divine! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
