I really enjoy cooking. And I don't mind taking my time, but recipes have to be simple. Not overly complicated.
My favorite things to cook
---Recipes that use a minimal amount of ingredients!
---Dessert. Always on the lookout for yummy desserts I can try out.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Potato salad! My gradmother had a very simple recipe for potato salad that I use. It's always requested for Thanksgiven and Christmas dinners with my family.
My cooking triumphs
---Stew. There are so many versions, but I found a simple one that I know will always be liked.
---Chicken and Spinach Crepes. I searched long and hard for a recipe to my liking. I never found one, so I created one. It's now one of my favorite meals!
---Cheesecake. I'm always on the lookout for cheesecake recipes. I have found one that is a keeper.
My cooking tragedies
---Baklava! I started to get good with Phyllo dough, so I tried Baklava. It was a disaster.
