People are surprised that a bellydancing skydiver can also bake delicious cakes and make homemade apple butter. I recently added snowboarding and learning Japanese to my hobby list. If only I didn't have to work. :) But I do love teaching.
My favorite things to cook
I love baking and making vegetarian foods. I especially love to make soup in the winter and salads in the summer.
I stay away from unnatural products and use mostly organic foods when I can.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My brother doesnt eat pork, my sister doesn't eat meat and has a bunch of food allergies (including wheat and milk), and my mom is a total carnivore so each holiday and celebration is an interesting feast. My mom is from Germany so there is always a German element in her cooking.
My cooking triumphs
Anytime I make a feast for people I care about I feel good.
My cooking tragedies
I often wait til the last minute to make things, including cakes for birthdays, so sometimes they are ruined in haste!
