I really enjoy cooking, but since my husband and I share the cooking duties I only get to cook every second day. I guess I shouldn't be complaining about that, though! For dinner: pasta, curries, stir fries, Mexican, soups, big salads. I grew up vegetarian and although I now eat meat sometimes I still cook a lot of vegetarian dishes. For breakfast: French toast. For fun: muffins and cakes. My mother is a fantastic cook - eating at her place is always like eating at a really good restaurant. So I have too many good childhood food memories to list! One family tradition I particularly like is the plum pudding my mother makes every Christmas. It's her grandmother's recipe. Some of my favourite dishes to make for guests are spaghetti with zucchini, lemon & chilli, minestrone soup and sweet potato & pear soup. My sticky gingerbread muffins have been a hit at office morning teas. Burning peanuts when I tried to roast them for a roast peanut soup. Mistaking salt for sugar in a recipe (yuck!). A packet chocolate cake I made recently stuck to the bottom of the pan. When I tried to get it out, it came out in pieces. It didn't taste very good, either. I think I should stick to making cakes from scratch!
