About this Cook
I'm a college student who just recently moved into an apartment with her friend and is always trying out new recipes to see what I can manage. I've been cooking for years, and just love doing it. I also enjoy video games and roleplaying.
My favorite things to cook
I really enjoy cooking desserts (even if I make a total and complete mess of it), but I also enjoy cooking for others.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Oyster soup on Christmas!
My cooking triumphs
Making an extremely dense gateau au chocolat du francais (I spelled that wrong). I got it out of a French recipe book my professor had, translated everything as best as I could, and baked it despite it noting that it was an "expert" level recipe. It turned out fantasticly :)
My cooking tragedies
One time, due to me forgetting repeatedly, I burnt 125 cookies.

Deviled Eggs
I've made a few different kinds of deviled eggs, and I just keep coming back to these because they have the quintessential taste that I love. Per the other reviewers I added just a bit less than an 1/8th teaspoon of salt and it was absolutely perfect. That was the only change I made to the recipe -- otherwise it has the perfect taste.

No Bake Peanut Butter Pie
I have now made this recipe twice (the first time I had a brainfart and used regular sugar instead of confectioners' but it still worked out wonderfully) and the pie disappears incredibly quickly. My friend is a major Reese's cup lover, and this is her favorite pie. We use a chocolate crust, and then cover the top with chocolate syrup. Sooo goood.

Spooky Witches Fingers
These were easy to make, I'll give them that, but honestly I could barely taste anything but flower, baking powder, and salt. My roommate and I both tasted the dough before we put it in the oven and decided this, so I added some more butter, sugar, and extract (both kinds), blended it, and then tested it again and it still tasted salty but less so. We went ahead with baking them then and when they were done they -looked- awesome. But then we ate them and...despite are additional extracts...they were utterly tasteless except for salt and flour. We did only use a teaspoon full, so I don't know what particularly happened but...I'm not going to be trying this recipe again.
