About this Cook
I'm a 20 year old college student at Rutgers University, living in my first apartment. I avoid the dining hall like the plague so I'm always in search of new dinner recipes for myself and my 3 roommates.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake- desserts of all kinds are my favorites. After that I'm a huge pasta fan and since I'm a college student - the perfect recipe for me is simple, quick, healthy and inexpensive!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I come from a family of "quick" specialty chefs with a flair for baking! We're an on the run family with a sweet tooth.
My cooking tragedies
Fried eggs (yolks runny!) and cookies on regular pans are my worst enemies - I always end up setting off the smoke detectors! So I stick to scrambled eggs and baking stones!

Chantal's New York Cheesecake
This was my first time making a cheesecake, and it came out absolutely perfect and delicious! I did follow some of the reviewer's suggestions: reduced temp to 325, reduced flour to 2 tbsp., used a water bath and changed the crust for a little more flavor. I had no problems at all with cracking or under-cooking - it was absolutely beautiful and even better tasting. 5 starts without a doubt!

Pesto Cream Sauce
Absolutely amazing!! I didn't have any trouble getting the sauce to come together and be creamy and I didn't have Romano cheese so I followed another reviewer and used grated Parmesan - delicious! I also had chicken instead of shrimp - this is something I'll be making ALL the time now, I couldn't believe out good it came out!

Hamburger Muffins
I'm glad I read the reviews before I made this. I decided to use cornbread instead of regular white bread and laid them out on a regular baking pan. I also used tomato soup instead of mushroom - and reduced the amount by just a tad. In addition to the onions, salt and pepper, I added about 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder. I was able to mold the beef into tiny meatloafs and place them on top of the cornbread, reducing the messiness. I added extra sharp cheddar at the last minute, just enough to melt it on top. The result was a wonderfully easy to make meal just bursting with flavor. The contrast of the meat and cornbread was wonderful - and although they weren't exactly "muffins" all credit goes to this great recipe!
