About this Cook
I live in Ventura with my wonderful husband and love to cook for my friends and family...my sisters are my biggest fans and my biggest challenge is making something my husband likes
My favorite things to cook
My favorite things to cook are savory appetizers and main dishes. I love complicated dishes and spending all day in the kitchen.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My parents are both excellent, experimental cooks. Lumpias are a family favorite and my favorite guilty pleasure(they are fried)
My cooking triumphs
I make a great Thanksgiving dinner! (the stuffing is a recipe I stole from my sister, Jasmine)
My cooking tragedies
Too many to list. My latest was a recipe I put together that involved wine poached pears, homemade sausage and braised cabbage all stuffed inside some homemade bread- it was awful!

Soft Chocolate Cookies
These are quite tasty. Soft and chocolatly. I doubled the chocolate and added 1 tsp. of instant coffee. I also sifted in the flour (1/2 whole wheat) and cocoa. I had a hankering for chocolate cookies and I was eating these about half an hour later. Thanks for the recipe;)

Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies
These are really good! I made the recipe as is, except I added 1 tablespoon of instant coffee dissolved in 1 tablespoon of water. The texture is fantastic, but as other viewers said- super sweet. I think I'll cut out a full cup of sugar the next time I make these. I don't like things too sweet, so if you do, keep the recipe as written. I've been looking for a rich, chocolate dessert and these are it!

Blueberry Strata
This is a great dish-but not as is. I followed other folks suggestions and used less cream cheese. I used about 2/3 of a an 8oz brick and that was plenty and I pinched off little bits with my fingers into the mixture as opposed to 1/2" pieces. I also doubled the maple syrup to sweeten it up and added about 1 t. of cinnamon. I only used about 8 eggs and that was plenty. I served mine with maple syrup and not the blueberry syrup. This was a huge hit for our Mother's Day brunch.
