I'm 27 and have a degree in Arts. Art is always been my passion, I've been drawing/painting since i was a child. Besides all that, I do love cooking, well... i also love eating!!!!!! I started in the kitchen at an early age since I always liked being in the kitchen with my mom and granny, smeared with flour and all that stuff. At home, i'm the person in charge of cooking (actually i took over the kitchen!!), so i'm constantly providing my loved one's with healthy and hearty meals to satisfy their appetite. When it comes to desserts.... i'm a master baker!!
I love trying new recipes, whenever i find something that looks yummy i MUST give it a try. However, we have our staples at home, so i'm not the one who tries a new dish every day. Thanks to allrecipes, i can incorporate new staples into my list.
If you have any questions (recipes...) feel free to email me at: lorenaig82@hotmail.com :)
My favorite things to cook
Seafood, rice, vegetables, cakes,... everything!! I also love chicken but nobody at home likes it except for me.... go figure!!! :(
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love baking "roscón", a traditional type of ring-shaped cake, baked for Easter here in Spain. Actually in my family since I was a child, women get together to make this dessert. That's the best way to keep us all together and make kids love cooking!!
In Christmas time, we eat tons of shellfish and "turrón", and every New Year's day we have churros and hot chocolate for breakfast.
My cooking triumphs
Thanx to my mom, I make the best empanadas ever!!!!....of course, after hers!. I'm also proud of my "petits choux" (filled with tons of pastry cream), always get rave reviews!!
My cooking tragedies
hmmm...... probably the first time i cooked pasta... please, give me a break, i was 10 or so!!!!!!!!
