There are two of us, we are step sisters. Jo is the oldest at 26. I have been cooking since i was eight years old. My parents were hard workers and i hated waiting for my older brother to make dinner at night, so i watched my parents (when they were home) and tought myself how to cook. Tae is 18. I have been cooking for a few years. I lived with a Croatian family for a little while where i picked up some new idas.
My favorite things to cook
Jo loves roasts and slow cooking because i am a shift worker it means i can have a meal on hand for the family when they're ready to eat it. I also love one pot dinners, I HATE DISHES!! Tae loves to bake and try new recipes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Italian!! Mexican, Asian and modern foods using all different traditional methods and ingredients.
My cooking triumphs
Jo's best recipes (always a hit) are Chicken and sweet corn soup, roast chicken with lemon baste, tuna pasta salad (great for bbqs) and braised loin lamb chops.
My cooking tragedies
I cant mash!! I always get too impatient and never cook the potatoes enough. Luckily my husband is a great masher. He always feels very important and needed when i say "huny, can you please do some of your creamy mashed potatoes?" you should see him grin as he says "ok, but you owe me a favour."
