I am a 20-year-old college student majoring in Food Science. I have only recently gotten into cooking, and much of the way I learned was through trial and error in teaching myself. As a ballet dancer who LOVES food, yet has always been concerned with healthy eating, I look to make recipes that are healthy and yet still delicious and enjoyable. I use every attempt as a learning experience as well to learn more about the science involved in creating dishes. I love making all kinds of baked goods! I'm still conquering the multitasking involved with cooking complex meals. Baking cookies on Saturdays during football season. Learning to cook is a triumph in and of itself for me. I taught myself nearly everything I know. There have been a few attempts at making dishes healthier that are clearly not meant to be healthy.
