What is there to say? The culinary arts have captured my interest early in life; I was always amazed how various ingredients came together to make delicious meals and delectable desserts. As a young child I always hung around the kitchen, whether it was my mother's or my grandmother's. I lived in a foster home for awhile, where I enjoyed watching my foster dad cook in his kitchen. I've been around European cuisine most of my life, with a little Asian influence as well. I have a beautiful son named Xavier and a handsome fiancé named David. I've worked at a McDonald's as a cashier for awhile and actually enjoy my job aside from the weird and sometimes silly things customers ask/do. Oh, my favourite colour is purple and I love chai (tea) anything. I love cooking chicken or pork, they are both very versatile ingredients to work with. They are my go-to's because they are virtually foolproof. I also enjoy baking, and often bake cookies and occasionally cakes throughout the year. My family does alot of cooking, baking and planning for both Christmas and New Year's Eve. The idea is making lots of food to last from one occasion to the next, and making a little more should the leftovers not be sufficient. Usually we make things that aren't had during the rest of the year like tons of homemade baked goods and Hungarian-style food or appetizers. The first time I made lamb. It was really good, and not your usual red-wine-and-rosemary deal. Think orange juice and white wine, from this site. Look it up! I've been told that I make great desserts, especially cookies. Take that Mr. Christie! My attempt at a coconut chicken that isn't a curry has failed. Four times. Now I stick to my modified version of "Steve's Chicken Korma". My first time trying to make a cheesecake without a recipe was... Grotesque!
