About this Cook
I started cooking when I got married. My husband was a gourmet and meticulously cared about the food we ate. Thus I took some quick lessons on how ot prepare trivial food and kept learning on spices, storing and freezing meals. After a while I started making my own experiments and it turned out that nowadays I have my own secret treats and treasures. I am preparing a full logbook on my experience as a cook.
My favorite things to cook
Pasta, Risottos, Exotic food.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Brazilian regional exotic cuisine.
My cooking triumphs
Curry Meat (it started as a mere recipe handed to me by a Japanese woman after an office reunion party. Now it's become a staple in the history of my cooking experience!). Large diced tenderloin pieces, carrots, green beans, potatoes and Indian curry powder prepared on low cooking style.
My cooking tragedies
Carrot cake - because of a mistaken info on the amount of yeast to be added to the original recipe, this became one of my tragic nightmares for -like - 6 years. Now this is a staple for brunch time !

Crazy Crust Pizza Dough
I made it for a snack and it turned out very munchy but a little soggy. I would definitely not use 2 eggs but 1 (one) and 1/2 a cup of wheat extra next time! A hint: One should cook until the borders start to get a little burnt so as to add some crunchiness. Worth trying again anyway!
