About this Cook
I was born in 1975. Divorced. No children. 2 spoiled cats as pets. Cooking is my escape from all troubles and toils. As soon as anything is bothering me - I dive into my kitchen .......
My favorite things to cook
I love making "buffet-style" meals. Many different dishes and tastes to choose from. Spicy food is an absolute favourite. Stews and traditional roast dinners are also regulars during winter.
My cooking triumphs
A date and pecan cake with a bourbon sauce. Curried mince on "fried bread dough" Lasagna Maybe there are more triumphs to come ?!
My cooking tragedies
I'm glad to say: nothing that immediately jumps to mind ;-) Perhaps my 'beef bourgondy' that had a bit too much redwine added ..?

Naan
Another rave review is probably not required, but I just have to !!! Use This Recipe !!! I have made naans this way plenty of times since finding this recipe and the only thing I've change since is to use garlic powder and dried cilantro or parsley in the dough. Do use real melted butter - the taste is ..... yummmmmm

Mom's Sticky Chicken From 1972
Very tasty - just too sweet. I know you need the sugar to get it sticky, but taste is also important. With 3/4c sugar and a bit more peper the sauce would taste a lot better over rice. I will be using the adapted recipe in future because even the original was good.

Soft, Moist and Gooey Cinnamon Buns
Used my stand mixer for the dough. It didn't rise that much, but after rolling, filling and cutting it seemed to get a 2nd wind and filled the dish beautifully. This was gorgeous. Will be making regularly - I scored some points with these (bf loves cinnamon buns - and I now make the best lol)
