About this Cook
Greatest cooking influences were/are my mother and grandmother. I also took some basic culinary courses in college which unleashed a real passion for cooking and baking, as well as entertaining.
My favorite things to cook
Ethnic cuisines, home cooking ...I can't put my finger on any one thing. I just love to cook and it is most definitely my passsion.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Birthday dinners! I do special requests as per the honouree! Then of course Thanksgiving and Christmas like most everybody else!
My cooking triumphs
I'd have to say Pie Crust. For some reason I was always intimidated by it, but now I've established a reputation for my flaky crusts! And as well, my mother in law who is a real gourmet, claims my Osso Bucco and Risotto Milanaise is the best she's ever tasted!
My cooking tragedies
A fondue that almost ended in a fire!!!!

Praline Sundae Topping
Truly, the best! This is rich, silky and smooth. My kids have been enjoying this as an apple dip, but it's even better with bananas!

Brazilian Black Bean Stew
I was hoping for a taste sensation when I made this, but it needs a little work in the flavour department. I bumped up the salt, I added some more heat in the form of tabasco, and I also added some cumin. It is a very eye catching dish, but as written a little on the bland side.

Curry-Coconut Shrimp
This is a 5 star recipe with similar changes to another reviewer. I made a paste out of the onions, red pepper, garlic, ginger and oil, sauteed the paste, added the spices and a TBSP of flour and cooked for a few more minutes stirring to blend. Added the coconut milk and simmered it until slightly thickened and added a bit of salt for flavour. Added the shrimp and the cilantro, removed from heat once the shrimp was cooked through and served it with brown rice linquine. Absolutely superb!! My hubby was a happy man.
