I have been cooking all of my life. For some of that time I worked as a professional baker and cook. I would make cookies, rolls, entrées, soups, and desserts. And I still make those things today. I love baking, especially cookies. They are my specialty. Making homemade chicken soup when I am feeling homesick or it is cold outside. My biggest triumph is my parents came to my house for Thanksgiving one year. My Dad ranted and raved about the turkey I prepared and insisted that I make the turkey next year. So every Thanksgiving I spend with my parents I have made the turkey. My Biggest cooking tragedy was I made a 6 layer dark chocolate cake for my Mother-in-law’s birthday. It was a Martha Stewart recipe, so very complicated. I spent two days making that cake but I read the recipe wrong and the cake ended up to be dense and dry. We ended up throwing half of it away.
