About this Cook
I love to cook. My favorite cooking show is America's Test Kitchen.
My favorite things to cook
Right now I am really into trying new spices. I have perfected Chicken Tikka Masala this year, I make awesome meatballs, good blackened chicken and I am working on Caesar salad this year.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I recently got my grandma's old cast iron skillet and have been learning how to cook awesome Filet Mignon in it!
My cooking triumphs
Learning to make Indian food. It's really quite easy, the best recipe is on the cooksillustrated.com website.
My cooking tragedies
My chicken pot pie soup was runny and gross! I have also overcooked a lot of steaks in my time! But, that is how we get better...

Red Pepper Soup
Delicious! I roasted the peppers in the oven and peeled them. This soup recipe really should be doubled to make enough for 4 people. The servings were quite small, so I roasted 3 very large red bell peppers and it still was not enough. Next time I will double. I also used Lawry´s Garlic Salt instead of regular salt. I suggest topping with a little sour cream and chopped up shallots on top. It tastes like you are at a gourmet french restaurant. Yum!

Osso Buco
I will make this again. I used 2 shanks because there are just 2 of us. We were out of flour and celery. So for the browning, I just dried off the shanks and put salt and pepper on them to brown. I didn't miss the celery at all. I just added extra carrots. I fould a can of beef broth in the pantry and used that instead of water. It was really good! My husband ate it up! It was really good. I served it with Angel Hair pasta and zucchini. This was great. I will make again many times. Oh, I also just used all dried herbs that I had in the house. It was still awesome!
