About this Cook
I am currently a young cook, though hopefully soon I will be able to attend culinary school. At the moment I wish to become a pastry chef, though I find whipping up meals of all different kinds to be just as fun.
My favorite things to cook
Though everybody around me constantly asks this question, I am never really able to respond. Decorating cakes and making little confectionaries certainly gets me creative, and I love making creampuffs and other little bites of happiness, but putting together different flavors to make hearty meals really touches my heart.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I really am a Southern girl, and my family has a number of secret recipes that we all simply adore. Mama’s Tea Cakes would definitely be the most popular with everybody, but being our most prized recipe, I am unable to share it with y’all :0)
My cooking triumphs
Very many! The cherry-flavored petit fours I made for a wedding shower recently are the first in my mind!
My cooking tragedies
Also many... I tend to have to make a recipe all the way through before realizing what I could have done better on :'(

Granny's Brownies
I couldn't get these to cook quite right. Because of the other comments, and the picture, I added another oz.of chocolate which I believe helped quite a bit. My family prefers fudgier, chocolatier brownies I think. Thanks a lot!

Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies
I'm on a quest to find the best brownie recipe at the moment, and so far, this is the best one I've made! Do not omit those chocolate chips! Be sure to use a glass 13x9 baking dish, and take out the brownies just when they're done- do NOT overcook! One of the easiest brownie recipes I've found!

Hasselback Potatoes
With some more flavor, this recipe is definitely a keeper! Maybe some onion and garlic powder, lots more parmesean cheese- experiment with it! Thanks so much!
