I'm 17 years old and have a newfound love for cooking. I love gourmet cooking but I'm not very good at baking. Usually I stick to vegetarian and vegan meals because I am a vegan and I want to show people how wonderful organic vegan food can taste. It's not just twigs and bark. I love making soups and Italian food over all else. My entire family is Hispanic (from Cuba), therefore we cook with specific spices and sauces which I don't like to use too much but it gives things a nice and different kick. I have managed to become a great soup-maker. I make the best potato soup ever =]. I am absolutely terrible at baking anything. Even simple out-of-the-box mixes of cookies and brownies.
