My name is Lindsie and I'm from Albuquerque, NM. I'm only 16, but been cooking by myself for the past 4 year and with my Grandma all my life. Cooking is one of my favorite things to do and one day I hope to open my own Spanish/Italian fusion restaurant. I love to cook new things that people in my family have never tried before. I love cooking Thai food, Indian food, traditional Mexican, aswell as New Mexican and Southern Italian recipes. Being with my Grandma in her kitchen rolling fresh masa for flour tortillas, with my Mom learning how to make a bolognese sauce, going to my Great-Grandma's house every other Sunday and eating carne adovada, beans, fresh sopaipillas, and calabacitas. Making corned beef and cabbage from scratch, brine included. Making my 1st red chile enchiladas by myself. Making a traditional full Indian meal w/ homemade curry powder, chicken curry, mango chutney, cucumber raita, and ginger scented basmati rice. Making carne asada tacos for the first time. I didn't marrinate the flank steak long enough, so the meat was tough and difficult to chew. Great flavor, but horrible texture.
