About this Cook
I actually love walking the aisles in a grocery store. My idea of a perfect Saturday is to get up before the house is awake, have breakfast at a diner then luxuriate by taking 1 1/2 hours to buy groceries.
My favorite things to cook
Savory, slow-cooked dishes. Crockpot or otherwise. I also love to bake.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Slow-cooked pasta sauce cooked all day on Sunday.
My cooking triumphs
Said pasta sauce.
My cooking tragedies
Anything requiring a double boiler.

Perfect Apple Pie
Lowered sugar to 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar. (I'm not a member of the "sweet apple pie" club!) When you slice the apples this thin, it creates a lot of juice and the pie may may cook down in the center. Overall, very solid apple pie.

Beef Tenderloin With Roasted Shallots
I made this and it turned out delicious. I have not read through the almost 500 reviews, but suffice it to say that, in my experience, 375 degrees to "deeply brown" the shallots is a stretch. More like "deeply steam." If you want them brown, use 425-450 degrees and watch them carefully.

Grasshopper Pie I
Our guests loved this. Slightly boozy which my kids pointed out right away. I'm knocking one point off, however, as the filling has a "whipped" trait which is not really to my liking. That said, will make again. PS I bought the Oreo pie crust and its dark chocolate-ness was a winner.
