About this Cook
I learned how much I loved to cook and bake when I moved out of my tiny apartment (with its tiny kitchen) and into a bigger house. Now that I have space to work cooking is a lot more enjoyable!
My favorite things to cook
Crabcakes, homemade bread, linzertorte, all types of pasta
My cooking triumphs
Fantastic cheesecakes! I've learned every little trick for cheesecakes with no cracks.
My cooking tragedies
My dry ingredients are in unmarked canisters. I was making icing once, and I mixed and mixed forever but it was lumpy and gross. Tried adding water to thin it out but nothing was working. I decided to taste it and realized that what I thought was powdered sugar was actually cake flour. Ew! You have no idea how gross raw flour tastes.

Raspberry Lemon Muffins
I didnt have any lemon zest, so I used a full teaspoon of lemon extract. Subbed 1 whole egg for the egg whites. Used plain yogurt, which was what I had on hand. These are not very sweet, so don't skip the sugar on top. It gives a perfect crunchy and sweet balance to the not-so sweet muffin. Great to keep on hand in the freezer since they taste fresh baked after 30 seconds or so in the microwave.

Lemon Graham Squares
I was really excited for these since I LOVE graham cracker crumbs, but having made these I'm with the reviewers who stated there is too much of it in these bars. These would be 5 stars with just a bit less crumbs. Otherwise, delicious recipe.

Artichoke Stuffed Mushrooms
Perfect recipe. All the ingredients are so basic, but you end up with something fancy and special. They were gone about .2 seconds after I put them out on the table.
