About this Cook
I'm a law student by day and a foodie by night! I love cooking and reading food writing and I'm a real feeder - friends on diets know better than to come around!
My favorite things to cook
Cookies, the richer and softer the better. Also big, grand salads and interesting exotic dishes like curries. I'll try to make anything.

Cornucopia
So pretty! This really made the Thanksgiving centerpiece unique (and delicious) this year. We made a big platter with purple kale below it and surrounded it with mini pumpkins and gourds, and served bread rolls out of the cornucopia itself, then people were allowed to tear in to the horn when the rolls were gone. This was fun, easy, and a very inexpensive way to get a ton of compliments!

Yummy Sweet Potato Casserole
This dish was fine. It got the idea of sweet potato casserole across without resorting to tacky marshmellows. However, it certainly wasn't a complex or gourmet dish by any means. To elevate it, add different flavors, a contrast with crumbled bacon and paprika maybe. The crust on top was phenomenal, though, and I would suggest doubling the topping just to add more of it. I baked mine in a souffle dish and it looked nice on the table, but this is not going to be my go-to sweet potato casserole.

Veggie and Cilantro Hummus Sandwiches
This was rather bland hummus. I added more cilantro and paprika, but it still was salty and otherwise tasteless.
