About this Cook
I am a 24 year old college graduate who LOVES to cook. I regret not going to cooking school, still contemplate going back and at LEAST taking some classes. I have had a passion for cooking since high school where I took cooking as an elective. Where most students usually take it once, I took it every semester until I was in Advanced. Throughout college I cooked myself meals in the microwave! I try and cook something new every week or every other, and find myself making everything! Its just so much fun!!!
My favorite things to cook
Anything!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Baking Christmas cookies with my mother and grandmother.
My cooking triumphs
I haven't yet, but gotten close... to mastering breads and cakes. I sometimes have issues with the rising!

Mussels Mariniere
I made this as an appetizer. Also took everyones advice and added about 2 shots of heavy cream. This was delishhhhhh!!!!!!! I prepared everything except the mussels before hand and when I was ready to serve, I warmed up the sauce and then added the mussels. They only took a few minutes to pop open and I was sure to take them out as they opened so I didnt over cook. Thanks for the recipe! Awesome.

Chocolate Butter-Creme Frosting
Honestly best icing for a plain chocolate cake... I needed a go to recipe, and this is now it! To thicken the icing for decorating, just add more confectioners sugar. Want vanilla? Just don't add the chocolate! This is awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Macadamia-Crusted Sea Bass with Mango Cream Sauce
I made the Mango sauce first (made it creamy), when I tasted it... I didnt like the taste... I almost wanted to doctor it up, but I resisted and I am VERY glad I did. I pulsed the nut mixture as per the suggestions so it was crumbly. Everything went together so well, next time I will add a pinch more red pepper flakes. This was a surperb dish, I was very impressed, and it was easy!
