About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I try to watch what I eat so I enjoy eating fresh veggies and fruit when I can. My family has a garden, in the summer I love to eat the veggies right off the vine. Mexican food is my favorite, and my secret ingredient is ground cumin. I add it to everything, I just love the flavor!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I am German, and I am slowly trying to learn how to cook authentic German foods. My Grandma is my inspiration, I love to watch her cook and hear her stories.
My cooking triumphs
I recently made two awesome cheesecakes. I made my boyfriend a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake for his 21st birthday last week, he said it was one of the best he's had.

Octoberfest German Potato Salad
This recipe is very good and authentic! A couple hints though...German potato salad is supposed to be a little tangy, so just be cognizant that it won't be sweet. Use good mayo, cheap stuff can really ruin a good recipe! Lastly, I let mine sit for two days in the fridge (I made it ahead of time for a party)...the flavor just got better everyday, let yours sit for at least a day, it makes a huge difference.

Cheese Dip with Beer
Beer and Cheese....can you go wrong??? Wonderful, this needs to be kept in a heating dish, I used a small crock pot to keep it fluid, otherwise it gets rather hard, pretty fast. This recipe was delicious, I used a hearty beer and the flavor really came through. If you don't like a strong beer flavor I would choose a light beer or an ice brew. YUMMMM

German Red Cabbage
wow! This is really a good recipe. When I was making this I was skeptical about how this was going to turn out. I liked the apple flavor, I used sweet apples, which wasn't a problem. The only thing with using soft apples is that they dissolve easily, so maybe add more if you decide to do that. Also, it smells really vinegary when it's cooking, but don't worry the sugar cuts it pleanty. I added cinnamon and a little brown sugar at the end for my own taste. Be cognizant that German food is a little tangy so don't go overboard on the sugar and spices, let the cabbage speak for itself! Great!!!
