About this Cook
French Canadian living in Australia, married. We are parents of two girls. DH is Australian. I have been baking for as long as I was old enough to do so, but I feel I'm still learning to cook meals and the like.
My favorite things to cook
Anything that is not (too) complicated and yields great results. I recently learned how to make sushi rolls, and we love those (the girls are still not keen on them though! Pity!)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Can't think of one... but I do remember Dad's wine making and the apple jelly time, and strawberry jam time. We don't have a tradition here with our little family.
My cooking triumphs
Fudge! other than that, each meal I don't burn and is edible, I consider a triumph! :)
My cooking tragedies
A chocolate cake for Hubby's birthday (soon after we met) which crumbled when I took it out of the mould. So I placed the bits (they were large crubs) on a nice serving plate, drizzled the icing on it, and sprinkled with icing sugar... turned a tragedy into a triumph!

Best Brownies
Nice tasting, the family liked it but I didn't think it was a "great" brownie IMO (and I know lots of people disagree with me judging by all the 5star reviews). I have a very similar old recipe which omits salt and baking powder and uses 3/4 cups of flour, I like mine better. Unlike others I won't rate a recipe 5 stars if I modify it. It is however not a bad recipe and very quick to make. Mine didn't turn out cakey at all (I did not beat the eggs), but a little bit too fudgy. If you like your brownies very fudgy, this could be for you. We also didn't frost the recipe.

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies
Really nice, the best PBCookies recipe I've made so far. Will also try with suggestions but made it as per the recipe, did not overcook, and they were great (and looked really good too!)
