I'm a mother of 6 children aged 5 months to 7 years old. I love to cook, as I was raised in my dad's chinese restaurant when I was very young. later we moved and opened up a four star restaurant.
My favorite things to cook
My favorite type of thing to cook is Dim Sum, even though I end up having to buy it out of the store and take it home and steam it. But I love asian food. my best work though is cheesecakes and other gooey, fatty desserts.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My favorite family tradition was to cook traditional chinese food with my mom, who passed away only a week ago. Now it is my turn to pass on that same tradition to my children
My cooking triumphs
My cooking triumph was to finally be able to make a cheesecake without little cracks on the top.
My cooking tragedies
I've tried to make so many dishes, but doughnuts are the worst. they always seem to come out really dry and not risen enough. And you would think that I could cook rice since I am half oriental, but forget that. I have to depend on my rice cooker to do the job properly, and even then its touchy.
