My name is Dani, I'm 18, and cooking is one of my favorite things to do! I hope to one day marry a rich man so I can stay home and cook all day.
My favorite things to cook
I have the most fun when I'm baking some kind of dessert, but I also really enjoy traditional Mexican cooking.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Most of the recipes I know, I learned from all the cooking classes I've had over the years, but I did learn a bit from my grandma. Our favorite thing to make together was crepes, although she called them pancakes for some reason.
My cooking triumphs
Once I perfected my chocolate chip cookie recipe, I bit into one and was genuinely surprised by how amazing they were. That was when I realized how much I really loved baking.
My cooking tragedies
I knew our baking soda was kind of old, but I just hoped and hoped that it was still good enough so I could make cookies. It wasn't. I ended up with something like... little dead cookie puddles. I was so ashamed that I wrapped them up in foil and hid them where no one would see them so as not to damage my reputation.
