I am a young, newly married woman of 31. I was born in Mauritius and lived there most of my life, then spent some time in The Netherlands. I recently moved to the UK and am presently looking for work in the education sector or the scientific 'world'!:) I love life and make the most of it. I also love nature. I like to eat as much as I like to cook&bake!;) and I don't put on weight, which is ideal!
My favorite things to cook
I like baking cakes and pizzas. Otherwise I like chinese food so I do make some of that too. Being from Mauritius, I tend to cook a lot of the local food from there, which is varied as it's a multiracial island. I absolutely love dessert so I make them a lot!
My favorite family cooking traditions
In my family, my mum makes a lot of chinese food so I followed that too. My grandma used to make a lot of indian food as well so I learnt some from her. She passed away beginning of this year:( and I miss her!
My cooking triumphs
I can't really tell I have any;) but maybe my pizza is nice...or so I've been told and oh! my sponge sandwich as well!
My cooking tragedies
Definitely choux pastry and traditional flaky pastry! I never got them as I wanted them to be.
