About this Cook
I am a college baker, which basically means I like to bake the decadent things in huge batches so that in the end of the day, after all my hall mates and friends have raided my room, there is some left for me too.
My favorite things to cook
Baking french bread, my Dirty Sugar Cake, and fresh berry crumble.
My cooking tragedies
An attempt at lemon poppy bread. It came out so aweful and sickingly sweet.

Gourmet Gouda Turkey Burgers
I made this for some of my friends in my little college apt. I was surprised how moist the burgers were even after i grilled them on a George Forman. I eliminated the liquid smoke and instead added some greek seasoning. It really made them taste great. Thanks for a wonderful easy recipe.

French Baguettes
I like this recipe the first time I made it. But the second time the bread seemed too heavy. So the next time i made it I added 1/2 tsp more yeast. I also allowed for the bread to rise longer after i had formed the loaves. (about 1-2 hours in a sunny spot.) When it was time to bake them I also put a pan of boiling water in the oven for the first 10 minutes. It made the loaves much crispier. For a sweet treat i made chocolate filled baguettes. When forming the loaves I added dark chocolate morsels, then rolled the loaves so that they had a chocolate center. They were a delightful breakfast surprise for the family.
