About this Cook
I'm a creative writer, freelance copy editor, and a creative free spirit. I enjoy all things food, really - cooking, reading about it, writing about it, and of course...eating it!
My favorite things to cook
I enjoy making so many different things - it's difficult to pick a favorite. I love making simple everyday dishes like taco salad and chicken parmesan, and I also love creating elaborate feasts with many elements - steak, potatoes and asparagus, or zucchini lasagna (to name just a few).
My favorite family cooking traditions
Balancing simple ingredients to produce bold flavors.
My cooking triumphs
I recently concocted a wonderful ratatouille filled with incredible vegetable goodness!
My cooking tragedies
Well, I made some eggs last week that were a bit too cheesy...tragedy? Perhaps.

Lentil Soup
This is one of my favorite soup recipes. I like to leave out the onion and add a few more bay leaves. Liquid levels could be adjusted for texture - as is delivers a more stew-like dish. Served with some crusty bread, this soup is a filling meal.

Pita Chips
These chips turned out nicely crisp and seasoned. I left out the chervil and served them with homemade hummus. Excellent alternative to regular pita bread.

Asparagus Cashew Rice Pilaf
This was absolutely delicious! I left out the minced onion and added crumbled feta cheese. Paired very nicely with some blackened salmon and a few fresh tomatoes. There was plenty leftover, and it tasted just as great reheated.
