About this Cook
I'm a laid back kind of gal that tends to stress about things that don't really matter. I like to draw/paint, write stories/poetry. My favourite music is progressive rock (think Yes, Supertramp, Moody Blues, etc.) For my own reasons I will not reveal where I am actually from. If you think I'm British, then that makes me happy.
My favorite things to cook
I LOVE PIE! Last year I found an amazing pumpkin pie recipe that I have finally memorised and can put together without even thinking.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I really don't have any.
My cooking triumphs
I don't know that I've ever had a "triumph". Let's just say that I've burned fewer than I thought I would.
My cooking tragedies
Oy, don't ask.

Granny's Banana Bread
I LOVE this recipe! Like many people, I vary the ingredients. Since my husband and I love dark bread, I use brown sugar instead of white. I also use VERY ripe bananas. Leave them in the fridge for about a week or two until the rind is black. It makes the bananas much sweeter. Rather than applesauce, I use apple butter. Using fresh-grated nutmeg will make your house smell heavenly while the bread is baking. This is also perfect for turning into fruitcake. Along with the raisins and nuts, add a cup of fruitcake mix to the batter. If you add fruitcake mix, it will definitely have to bake for a full hour because the batter will be dense.
