About this Cook
I love to cook because I love to eat.
My favorite things to cook
I love roast chicken, it's my favorite way to cook and eat chicken, unless it's fried, and anything fried is good on it's own. I try to bake what ever will satisfy my sweet tooth at the moment.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My dad makes the best spaghetti. I usually don't like vegetables in my sauce but my dad's spaghetti sauce is just so rich in flavor, plus he always cooks up 3-5 different types of pasta to soak up the delicious sauce. Whenever I go home my mom always makes a huge pot of 'Pho', which is the best comfort food of all. We also have at least one big family dinner, and when I say family it's aunts, uncles, cousins, etc... I love it because it usually revolves around us sitting around a table rolling up egg rolls and eating until we can't even stand.
My cooking triumphs
The first time I cooked a rack of lamb I really thought I had destroyed it. But it turned out fabulous. And I've also learned that roasting a duck is like sticking butter in the oven.
My cooking tragedies
Oh how often I have done this, but I'm getting better.

To Die For Blueberry Muffins
My search for the perfect blueberry muffin ends here! At first I thought the batter was a little thick but they came out perfectly! I followed the recipe and they were really to die for. I filled my cupcake liners almost to the top then sprinkled with the streusel, I think brown sugar overpowers the muffin itself, so I prefer to use white sugar and I omit the cinnamon all together. These were so good and I will make them again and again!

White Chocolate Cream Cake
This cake was so good. I made it for my mom's birthday and even my dad ate it, and he's not big on sweets. The almond flavoring made it great. The only thing about it is the cake reminds me of angel food cake. I would prefer a denser white chocolate cake. Awesome flavor though!
