Baking is one of my favorite things to do, it's how I treat myself after a long day at work. I often feed my boyfriend's friends who stop by the house, and they have become my biggest fans. :-) Right now I'm working on my cooking skills, and hopefully one day it will come natural to me, just like my baking. :-) Cookies, zucchini Bread, anything with chocolate, pancakes. Baked ziti. It's my best dish! I love reading recipes,and the recipe exchange board, and I recently created a dark chocolate glaze for dark chocolate cake II from this site. It turned out so amazing! You need guts to take risks in the kitchen, and sometimes there's a big payoff (especially if you succeed in making something delicious and chocolatey!) Also, I just figured out how reducing adds flavor to sauces. Not adding enough sugar to banana bread because I was trying to make it "healthier." This was more disappointing than tragic.
