About this Cook
I'm 23 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.

Basic Pizza Crust
This was a wonderful dough, crispy on the edges but soft and yummy inside. I made this recipe out of necessity. I wanted a dough which I could put together right away and I have to say I am a bit surprised at how good it came out. I used it to make a calzone type recipe today and will definitely use it in the future when I want pizza on the spot! Thanks.

Bacon Cheese Stromboli
This reminded me of a calzone but was very good. I made my own pizza dough using Basic Pizza Crust (recipe from this site,) used turkey bacon and added in some grilled onions. I ate this for lunch today and it was cheesy good just like cheese/bacon pizza. I dipped each bite in a combination of ketchup/hot sauce and boy, it was delicious! Thanks for sharing.

Microwave Fried Rice
I have to say I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I am accustomed to making my fried rice on the stove top. Two things went through my mind before I started and during my making of this recipe - I thought the veggies would be overdone and if it would be too salty (cause bouillon here seems to have lots of salt and adding soy sauce on top of that?!) Boy was I wrong, this was delicious! My worries were all for nothing. Admittedly this takes longer than just frying up leftover rice on the stove but it is great nonetheless. I also thought it was "pale looking" but after giving it a mix with the eggs it turns out lots of the soy sauce settled to the bottom of the dish. My rice got a nice colour at the end. In a pinch when all you have a microwave to "cook" ;) with...this recipe would be top of my list. I left out the ham and added in a chopped sweet pepper. Thanks for sharing!
