former pro pastry chef, now learning to love regular cooking. Indian chole, baked goods, pizza. My mom's kolachkies, the recipe for which I will never share. :) Christmas cookie madness every year. The little flower girl and ring bearer cakes I made for my wedding- on the way to the baker's house, a woman pulled right in front of me and I had to slam on the brakes in order to live to see my wedding. Unfortunately, the cakes didn't make it. And the really rotten risotto. I added too much lemon juice, and there was absolutely no recovering from it. My kind husband ate the horrible mess, though.
