I am an avid cooker although there are many things I still need to learn about the culinary world. My favorite thing to cook would have to be cakes. My whole mouth is full of sweet teeth! But I also love to cook meals. There is nothing more relaxing to me than whipping up a hearty soup when it is cold outside or a quick stir-fry when it's too hot to cook. I just like good food and it's even better if I can make it for my family and friends. One of my favorite memories is the sweet smell of Plantains as they were being fried by my grandmother in Philippines. Now as an adult, I try to evoke those childhood feelings by making traditional filipino recipes.
