Being an Army brat, I've traveled the world trying exotic foods. I'm from a mixed gene pool, my mom is of American/British ancestry and my army dad is Korean. We ate a lot of Korean food growing up in addition to traditional American cuisine. Some of my favorite things to cook are vegetarian soups, salads, noodle dishes, low-fat but delicious dips, and Bruschetta. Contributing my own vegetarian version of Chap'che for Chinese New Years celebration. At the age of 11, I made a delicious loaf of Turtle Bread that impressed my parent's dinner guests. Accidentally substituting the amount of sugar with salt in a peanut butter cookie recipe when I was 10.
