About this Cook
I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian...and a librarian, too!
My favorite things to cook
Anything Mexican; macaroni and cheese; scones.
My favorite family cooking traditions
None, really. I started cooking at a young age because nobody else in the family could.
My cooking triumphs
An entire from-scratch vegetarian Thanksgiving meal (with the exception of a Tofurky roast).
My cooking tragedies
An exploding loaf of banana bread, which ended up catching on fire in the oven. It proved that there are recipes that just can't be doubled!

Sweet Corn Muffins
Best corn muffin recipe I've found. I substituted plain natural-style yogurt for the milk--makes the muffins very moist and tender--and used white whole wheat flour (at my age, every little bit of extra fiber helps!)

Vegan Mexican Stew
Excellent recipe! I made the following changes, which I think bring out and mellow some of the flavors: I used a 14-oz can of white hominy and a 14-oz can of chili beans (Bush's or similar); I omitted the celery; I added 1 tbsp oregano. Instead of briefly boiling, then sauteeing the potatoes, etc., I heated the olive oil, sauteed the onion until lightly browned, added the chile powder, cumin (double the amount called for) and oregano, sauteed for 30 seconds, then added the potatoes and sauteed until lightly browned. Then I added four minced cloves of garlic, sauteed 1 minute; added hominy, beans, tomatoes and chiles, and broth. I followed the recipe from there. This produced a nice blend of flavors (not too hot or bland). Topped it with cheese, radishes and shredded cabbage as other readers suggested--it was great!
