I love to cook and I love to eat. I started cooking at a young age because I desperately craved cheese sauce for my nachos and gravy for my mashed potatoes. My mom taught me how to make a rue and that's all it took to get me hooked on cooking! SOUP SOUP SOUP :D My favorite creations are homemade corn chowder and leek and potato. I also really enjoy a vegetarian chili recipe I found on this site. Both of my parents have Slovak heritage, so we grew up eating delicious foods like Halupki, Pirohi, Halushki, and Bean and Sauerkraut soup. A bean soup I had in a restaurant inspired me to copy it and I was able to totally nail it! In fact, I thought mine was actually better :) Tofu. I wish I could make it like they do in asian restaurants, but I haven't been able to master it. I think I'm getting better though with each experiment.
