I find it impossible to stick to a recipe, unless I'm baking
been cooking since I was 6
My favorite things to cook
I enjoy trying new recipes, when I find a favorite, I'll work for years at perfecting it. I'm known for my french onion soup, bolognese, blueberry pancakes, cakes, key lime pie, pepper jellies, cranberry sauce & I may be forgetting a few.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Birthday breakfast in bed, which is Belgian waffles topped with vanilla ice cream, macerated strawberries and whipped cream! Unfortunately, my husband doesn't like breakfast in bed, so I don't get to create the whole decadent production on a tray, but my sisters do with their families.
My cooking triumphs
At 12, making banana cream pie from scratch - including the pudding!
I savor most of my cooking accomplishments, most turn out spectacular, if I do say so myself!
This year (2009) my resolution is to perfect my baking- I'm going to bake cookies and bread once per week.
My cooking tragedies
Maybe I've blocked them out, because I can't think of any.
