About this Cook
i am a recent graduate from college, and am now a video freelancer. i love to cook for my boyfriend (he doesn't eat fruits or vegetables so it makes it very challenging!) and make dinner for friends. music and hot chocolate are my passions!
My favorite things to cook
i make exquisite chocolate chunk cookies and love to cook stir fry's because you have so many different meat and vegetables to play with!
My favorite family cooking traditions
whenever my mum makes a pie crust, i will always take the leftover dough and make pet-de-soeur (translated to "nun farts"). it's almost like a mini cinnamon roll.
My cooking triumphs
for thanksgiving 2009 i made a great homemade pumpkin pie and was very proud of myself.
My cooking tragedies
i decided i would make muffins for a bake sale at school and left out sour cream (i was thinking, who in the world puts sour cream in muffins!?) and they basically exploded in my oven, oozed all over the sides of the pan, onto the bottom of the oven, and then i had to clean it up! *note to self, don't leave out two cups of wet ingredients ever again*

Rhubarb Cake I
totally delicious. i made this for mothers day and my mum thought it was excellent. so excellent that she has asked me to make another one today. i read some of the other reviews, and two cups is not enough. the first time i made it i used three cups and that should definitely be the minimum. i'm using three again this time because i think it's a good balance but feel free to use four or more! also, keep an eye on your cake! in my oven, it didn't even take forty minutes to bake. i didn't keep an eye on it and the top layer got a little too dark. which reminds me, the topping (which is technically a streusel) is AMAZING. great to have on top. the crunch mixed with the moist cake is perfect.

Parmesan Chicken
it was so great, thank you! i made it for valentines day for my boyfriend and he loved it. a reviewer suggested mixing the butter with the crumbs before dipping the chicken in. i thought that it might get too lumpy, so instead, when the oven was heated, i put butter in the bottom of the pan i was going to use and let it melt, once the bottom was covered, i put the chicken inside and flipped it half way through the cooking time. it tasted SO wonderful. thanks a million for the recipe!

Turkey Pasta Primavera
i give this recipe three stars because even though it was easy to make, it still tasted very bland. i cut the recipe down to 2 to make lunch for today and have some more for tomorrow, but i think i'm going to have to find a way to make tomorrows more interesting. i only put red peppers and broccoli, and didn't have any italian seasoning so i put oregano, garlic powder and pepper for spices. it really feels like it's missing something, i just don't know what.
