About this Cook

I'm originally from Texas but in 2005, my husband and I moved to England. England is very different from Texas and has taken some time to get used to. However, the area we live in has a lot to offer and it's lovely being so close to the coast. If I could bundle the positives of Texas and the positives of England into one place, I'd be really happy :). I love this site because I can find recipes from "home" and with a little experimentation on my part, make them work with local ingredients.

My favorite things to cook

I love to cook Tex-Mex food. Sometimes it's hard to source some of the ingredients but I usually find a way :). I've really begun to love baking. It's an added challenge making my US recipes work with UK ingredients. I do a lot of baking for family and friends and I love to see people enjoying what I've baked.

Date Nut Loaf Cake

This was surprisingly good. My DH (who is English) was craving date and walnut loaf so I made this for him. He loved it. I didn't make the icing as he said it's to be eaten plain or with a little butter. Someone else told me it could be eaten with cheese but it didn't sound appetizing to me. A keeper recipe.

Black Magic Cake

Gosh, not sure what I did wrong with this recipe but I had the hardest time getting it to come out of the pans without falling apart. I let them cool enough and I greased my pans and I also tried using my silicone pans but I still had sticking problems. However, all in all, the taste was lovely and I hide the bits that fell off from sticking with icing. I'll try this again just to rule out my human error.

Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

This is a super easy recipe. I made it for the girls at work and they raved about it. I got mixed reviews on whether it was lemony enough. Some thought it was, others didn't. My personal choice would be more lemon but to be fair, I didn't use the icing/glaze so that might have made a difference.
