Grew up in a family that cooked food which could be considered a fusion between Chinese and Vietnamese. I guess I got the best of both worlds! :) I will try making almost anything at least once! I really enjoy baking things like cookies and cakes (I have quite a sweet tooth) and have recently started baking my own bread too. As for main dishes, appetizers, etc. my tastes generally run towards those that are savory rather than those which carry and underlying sweetness. Hot pot during the winter, so easy to make and can be eaten for many meals. Big pots of chicken soup to make Vietnamese pho...the soup definitely tastes better on the second and third day as the flavors really begin to meld together! Baked bread by hand for the first time yesterday and it turned out marvelously! I was very happy with the results I got by following the recipes for French Baguettes and Jo's Rosemary Bread I found on this site. The Award Winning Chocolate chip cookies recipe was also fantastic as was a banana nut bread I made. Scones...I followed the recipe for Grandma Johnson's scones but they turned out way too dense. I must have over mixed the batter and will definitely try again...hopefully with a much more delicious end product this time! :)
