About this Cook
I'm 25 years old and I live in Trinidad. My hobbies include baking of course;), breeding fishes and doing art. I also love comics. Recently I have come to love photographing the food I make. Too bad they don't all come out photo worthy, but at least they still taste good!
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake and make desserts. It's just a passion of mine. I love to make desserts into individual servings, small batches or mini sized if it is possible. Although I love sweets so much, I am trying to expand my range a bit to the savoury side ;).
My favorite family cooking traditions
My dad and I used to bar-b-que nearly every weekend but not so much anymore. It was good fun though.
My cooking triumphs
One of them was a soup recipe. We fondly named it Aloo Shark Soup (Aloo is potatoes.) It was a little experiment really and my dad liked it so much that he wanted it made again the next day! My most recent triumph is Buss-up Shut(Paratha Roti) If you look through my pictures you'll find a small description and link on how to make it for yourself!
My cooking tragedies
Definitely the first time I tried to bake cookies! They came out really really bad...but now most of my cookies come out great. I still have the occasional misfortune of cookies which spread to no end :(. Another is Cream Puff Shells! After three attempts I still haven't been able to get these things right! *sigh* But I will be trying again.

Cheddar Herb Bread
I enjoyed this recipe tons. I added some chopped jalapenos to the spread mixture and served it with stewed beef. This bread dipped in that gravy was very delicious. Thanks for posting.

Chocolate Cherry Chip Cake
I was craving chocolate and cherry and stumbled upon this recipe. I read the reviews before starting and I also threw my chocolate chips and cherries onto the cake 5 minutes into baking and they all still sunk. It did end up making a super fudgy bottom on the cake which was totally delicious but disappointing cause half of it stuck to the bottom of the pan and I had to scrape it up to serve with each slice. I omitted the buttercream and used maraschino cherry juice instead of coffee - I may use kirsch next time cause the cherry juice didn't seem to make a difference in the flavour and I only got the cherry taste when I bit into the chopped cherries themselves. Overall I did enjoy this cake and will try it again. Thanks for sharing.

Blueberry Buckle
This is my first time making a blueberry buckle and honestly, this recipe is lacking something for me. I think first it could have used a hint of vanilla in the batter and the cake definitely needed to be more moist. The topping was spectacular. Moist, sweet, slightly crunchy at the same time but it wasn't enough to save the dryness and lack of sweetness in the cake. This is one I won't be making again but it was okay as a one time breakfast item.
