I am a recent Oberlin College grad. I have a web site (makoelf.com). I was born in México D.F., México, and came to the US when I was 3. I'm currently studying abroad in Germany until mid-February.
My favorite things to cook
Flan, flautas de pollo, and salsa roja.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We have none. I observed my mom cooking as a kid and just sort of picked it up one day. She said that's how she learned to cook as well.
My cooking triumphs
When I made up my first quick recipe at the age of 13 for my bro and he loved it.
My cooking tragedies
When I forgot to add a rather important ingredient to the flan. Hahaha.
