About this Cook
Hi, everybody! Thanks for looking at my profile. I really love cooking and baking. I am a vegetarian and a big seafood and dessert lover. I like mexican, latin american, asian, arabic food and I'm always searching for new recipes and for new different ways of preparing meals. Althouth I don`t have wide experience in cooking, my family like my dishes. And I can say I am getting better and better thanks to Allrecipes.
My favorite things to cook
Everything! Salads, meat, fish, chicken, desserts, pies, bread, cocktails etc.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family doesn`t have special cooking traditions. At Easter we make lamb and some traditional Easter cakes and desserts.
My cooking triumphs
When people appreciate my meal it is my cooking triumph. When I make some dish and later many times I hear from my family how wonderful it was, it is my cooking triumph too.
My cooking tragedies
When I try a recipe and my family don`t like it, this is my cooking tragedy.

True Blue Custard Crunch Pie
This pie is fantastic! I baked it and a half of this pie disappeared just in 20 min after baking. I used a little brown sugar in the custard and added brown sugar and cinnamon to the topping. Cheap ingredients and very easy to make.

Orange Coconut Cookies
Overall these cookies are good, but these won`t be a favorite in my house. These are crisp, but a little dry and mediocre. My suggestion is put 1/3-1/2 cup coconut flakes into the dough, but after baking sprinkle them with coconut flakes, but not to roll cookies in coconut, because, coconut flakes become brown quicklier than cookies are ready and I had overbaked coconut flakes on the top. I doubled the recipe and I had 24 cookies.

Plum Pie
This is good, but not a great pie. I made this with pears. I liked the filling and the topping, but it`s not "my" dough. A little dry and dense for me. This pie is better, than some others I`ve baked, but I`m still looking for a keeper.
