About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Soups, stews, anything with eggplant or lamb. I also love cooking with spinach.
My cooking triumphs
A four-course meal that I prepared with a homemade lamb and bean soup, carrot rice, garlic chicken and a peanut-butter pie with ganache topping.

Eggplant with Garlic Sauce
Pretty good. I think a bit more cornstarch was needed as the sauce didn't thicken as much as I would have liked but the result was still good. For those who aren't a fan of eggplant, you can substitute with pork and it takes just as a good.

Toll House(R) Blonde Brownies
I followed the recipe exactly (I feel like these days, that is a rare thing). These turned out moister than any chocolate brownies I've ever made from scratch. I did without the chocolate chips and still delicious. Next time, I will probably spread a layer of Nutella spread to the top as icing. Definitely a keeper!

Peanut Butter Bars I
These really do taste like Reese's peanut butter cups. These are super rich, I cut them into 24 squares instead of 12 and I think they're still decent-sized. I used 1 and 1/3 cups of butter, any less and it would have been too crumbly. Very decadent but easy to make. My only gripe is that the chocolate is too hard. Next time I might use a milk chocolate ganache topping.
