About this Cook
I love food! Everything about it I enjoy. Shopping for food, preparing food, cooking/baking food, EATING food and even cleaning up! It is all part of food and it's great.
My favorite things to cook
I enjoy baking sweet things (i.e. cookies) quite a bit. However I have found a new passion for making up my own recipes for entrees. Generally I will browse recipes online, get ideas and then make up my own thing
My cooking triumphs
Recently I have been using a cookbook by Manisha Kanani called Great Curries and there are some rockin' recipes in there.
My cooking tragedies
There is a cookie recipe on this site called Sunflower Drop Cookies; stay away! They are a waste of time and ingredients :-(

Sunflower Drop Cookies
these deserve zero stars! Lacking in flavor; a complete waste of ingredients and time.

Rhubarb Cream Pie
I changed the recipe a bit: 2 eggs instead of 3, cinnamon with a dash of chinese five spice because I didn't have nutmeg, added some sliced apple and I made a basic crumb topping with brown sugar, oats, flour and butter. It is cooling now...

Nectarine Pie
I used about 3/4 condensed milk and 1/4 low fat milk instead of heavy whipping cream; I also added some chopped rhubarb and 1/2c sugar. Then I baked it for an hour. It is cooling now...
