Well, let's see. My name's Yelena, I'm 20 years old, and I'm a junior at university, majoring in Psychology and hoping to minor in Women's Studies. I love photography, reading, and watching movies. I'm hoping to add cooking to the list! I'm mostly a vegetarian -- haven't eaten red meat in over six years, but do occasionally eat chicken, turkey, and salmon. I'd love to get to know some great chefs, or just people like me who enjoy trying new recipes! I love all things Italian! I've made some good pasta meals, and lasagna. I also enjoy making soups, and salads. I'm looking to learn some more about baking, as well as lots of other recipes! Favorite traditions include vegetable soups, stuffed peppers, rice pilaf, ravioli, and more.
