An senior at University of Washington majoring in Geography with a social, cultural, political and GIS concentration. I've been enjoying cooking since I was able to measure out a cup of flour. My father is from the balkans so I have lots of background with slavic cooking. I'm vegetarian and I try to eat vegan as much as possible.
My favorite things to cook
Lentil soup, fried rice, sushi, basically anything Japanese, muffins, traditional dishes with uncommon vegan substitutions
My favorite family cooking traditions
Jaivar!
My cooking triumphs
Cooking chicken biryani for a group of 20-something guys at my boyfriend's house. Grilling, peeling, de-seeding, processing, cooking and canning 300 red peppers to make Jaivar (Serbian pepper sauce)!!
My cooking tragedies
Making vegan cassoulet with homemade biscuits on top that didn't rise!
