About this Cook
I'm 18 years old, and I love to cook! The first thing I ask anyone who walks in my front door is usually "are you hungry??"
My favorite things to cook
Baking any type of sweet is definitely my favorite thing to do...cookies, cakes, pies, cupcakes, they're all fabulous! I also love to make breakfast, as well as mediterranean-style seafood dishes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Mom and I make breakfast together every year on Christmas...it's usually something different, but always includes her delicious pancakes! I still haven't quite been able to get them "just like Mom's."
My cooking triumphs
This past summer I made a really delicious caramel-and-chocolate layer cake, which I took to a family gathering. I was planning on bringing the leftovers home for my friends and I to share later that night, but it was gobbled up long before the party ended! The recipe was definitely a keeper =)

Bacon Wrapped Barbeque Shrimp
Easy and SO tasty! I used turkey bacon instead of pork, worked just fine for me. The second time I made this, I mixed up some barbecue sauce, worcestershire sauce, and old bay seasoning to coat the shrimp with, then I wrapped the bacon around 'em. Even more delicious!

Tiramisu Layer Cake
An absolutely fabulous cake. As recommended, I did two coffee layers and one white. I also doubled the kahlua everywhere it was called for; it definitely was not too much liqueur. I made the cake for my dad for father's day, my family is Italian so it went over very well! The icing is divine, my stepmother was scraping the leftover out of the bowl to put in her coffee. I did use heavy whipping cream though, not heavy cream; the icing was light, airy and delicious! I will definitely be making this again, even my grandmother (the classic Italian cook) asked for the recipe! =)

Cheesecake Brownies
Fabulous. And so easy! I made them in a 8x8" glass pan since we like our brownies thick. It did take quite a bit of extra time to cook them through, but they were well worth the wait! Definitely pour 2/3 of the brownie batter in the pan first, then the cheesecake, then drizzle the remaining batter on top before swirling with a knife. It makes for a much better marbled effect.
