I love to make everything by myself: homemade and natural! I'm still young, so right now it's all about learning to become a great cook. I would love to be like some of those mamas that can take a recipe, improvise, and make it taste just right for the family. I love to cook Asian food (ala the Asian part of me), Italian (lots of pasta!), as well as good ol' fashioned Southern TEXAN dishes (via the Texan in me!). I love, Love, LOVE authentic lumpia made with real lumpia wrappers and I will not settle for half-done wonton wrapper lumpia. That is NOT the same! My favorite dishes I have made so far are pork lettuce wraps, a wonderful homemade, fresh fruit cheesecake, and chicken marsala with marscepone sauce. If only you knew (or didn't)! One of the worst things I did was replace 1/2 of simple syrup for molasses in a sorbet. I thought it would be sweeter?? This is a REALLY BAD idea!!
