About this Cook
I am a 26 year old Nursing Student who will work in the Operating Room.
My favorite things to cook
I'm only starting. I know I'm old but you have to start somewhere. I'm starting with baking and moving onto traditional home cooked meals. Once I get the basics down,i'll move onto fancier stuff.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Oh bloody hell, anything my mom makes. She's brilliant.

Italian Cream Cake II
The cake itself was amazing! i put the nuts and coconut through a food processor cause i'm not a fan of texture in cakes so this was perfect. it was moist and tasty. WILL make again.

Banana Cream Pie I
Based on the recipe as is presented. It was so runny! not eatable. Maybe if I had followed the suggestions of using starch. I had this thing on the stove for almost 30 minutes waiting for it to thicken up, didn't. Thought the fridge would do the trick, didn't. The flavour isn't good enough for me to try again. Sorry. I'll just use a different recipe for a custard and put some bananas in it.

Gone with the Wind Cake
Wow. Thank God I found this recipe. I was looking for a Angel Food cake recipe that did not call for a dozen eggs. I mean I love cake but that's just too much. This cake is amazing. Light and fluffy. Perfect. I used a 9 inch round pan and managed to get 3 seperate layers. That's plenty of cake. Mine was finished in 40 minutes so pay attention. 50 minutes in my oven would have dried it out and burned it. Regardles, this is a keeper that I'll be making with various fillings. Thanks.
