I like food. What more can I say?
My favorite things to cook
Cookies, pies, cakes
My favorite family cooking traditions
I don't know if this is a tradition, but we have this thing about not measuring ingredients. We just throw stuff in when we do our own recipes or are making something up. The results are usually good and never quite tastes the same twice.
My cooking triumphs
Converted a raspberry almond chocolate cake into a vegan recipe and it turned out tasting better than the original. Also make a mean apple pie, though I wouldn't recommend eating it if you are watching your fat and sugar intake ;). Also make a great tomato beef over garlic mashed potatoes.
My cooking tragedies
Attempted to convert a peanut butter chocolate cupcake into a vegan recipe and it turned out just wrong taste wise. Also baked my apple pie without tasting the apples first one time and it turned into a sour "Warhead" pie. Very inedible.
