I love the family recipes that I grew up on, but I also enjoy finding new recipes, either online or while traveling. I enjoy making dinner for my family, and also baking for parties, my friends and bake sales.
My favorite things to cook
Pie and cookies, I also like to make soup, curries and stir-fries.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Cooking with my Aunt Phyllis on family vacations, or cooking and baking with my mom. Sometimes we have homemade pizza on Christmas Eve. My mom and I roll out the dough into individual-sized pieces, and everyone adds their favorite toppings.
My cooking triumphs
I am learning more and more about making a good pie crust, and my results have been improving. Also, learning to make an Indian curry without a recipe.
My cooking tragedies
Anything involving a candy thermometer! :P
