I'm 14, yaay for teenagers! I've been cooking since I was about 10 and have wanted to be a chef since around then as well. I've recently decided to go vegetarian so my new challenge is finding tasty things that I actually like (I'm really picky about my veggies) ^_^ I love making new things but at the moment my favorite to cook are pancakes. I can make them all nice and fluffy if they're smaller but the bigger ones give me trouble so I've been working on it!! Baking is something that is more of a ritual in my family, you must bake something for any occasion even if you bring something else too!! Making a squash ribbon salad from foodnetwork.com, I was worried it wouldn't turn out right but then it was a huge hit!! whoo hoo! A few months ago at my friend's house they were making some kind of cake from a box... I haven't done that in like FOREVER!! I kinda screwed the cake up which is funny because they're supposed to be super easy!!
