About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Soups and simple comfort foods. Oh yes...and cookies. I must have cookies!
My cooking triumphs
The fact that I actually cook and have kicked my fast-food and packaged frozen food habit! I didn't grow up helping out in the kitchen, so I'm thrilled to be slowly getting over my intimidation around cooking and feeling the satisfaction of enjoying and sharing home-cooked food.

Besan (Gram Flour) Halwa
I had some leftover chickpea flour from making Nan Khatai and decided to try this...I'm not familiar with this type of Halwa, so it was a new experience! I substituted butter (not quite sure how much I used) because I didn't have ghee. I may have needed more...the flour mixture was very lumpy so I added a bit of oil. Since I don't know what this is supposed to be like, I'm not sure if it turned out...what I do know is that the cardamom flavour was wonderful, and I really enjoyed this sweet treat!

Chewy Maple Cookies
I wss getting bored of my usual chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies and decided to give these a try. They were wonderful! Definately very sweet, so I cut back on on sugar a bit and used walnuts instead of the coconut. Totally addictive!

Baba Ghanoush
I'm not sure what happened, but this didn't turn out for me at all. It tasted like bland eggplant pablum and not at all like restaurant baba ghanoush. I may try the alternate roasting methods posted by other reviewers for a deeper flavor. It was edible but not great.
