About this Cook
My husband and I both love to cook and eat, so it works out well!
My favorite things to cook
Sushi mm-mmm! Casseroles, cookies, pies, Indian cuisine, roasts, pasta.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We try to cook a new gourmet meal every saturday night, and they're always delicious, thanks to this site!
My cooking triumphs
Leg of lamb baked in a dill salt dough, beating the mother-in-law's lasagna ;), every time someone asks for a recipe, chicken kiev.
My cooking tragedies
One time I made some perch in foil, but left it in the foil for probably about 45 minutes to an hour, and all you could taste was the metal. YUCK!

Light Wheat Rolls
Very good - the only changes I made were using bread flour in place of all-purpose and used 2 cups whole wheat flour+1/4 ground flax seeds. I doubt this affected the outcome or the flavor much, if at all. I followed another reviewer's suggestion and after the 2nd rise, punched the dough then divided in 1/2. I then rolled out and spread with melted butter, rolled up jelly roll style, and finally cut into 12 pieces.

Best Cream of Potato Soup
Wow I just now realized I forgot the garlic! Oh well, I was planning to 5-star it anyways. Everything else I followed as written (oh had to use dry parsley so obviously used less), in spite of many impulses to make it healthier. I'm glad I went with the recipe as-written, it was a satisfying treat and helped warm up my husband who was cold all day at work! Served this with Light Wheat Rolls from this site.

Baked French Toast
I scoured the reviews to hear from anyone that didn't soak overnight, and couldn't find any. So I just got brave and tried it anyways. I had some homemade whitebread, and I cut it about 1/2" thick. I soaked the bread on each side for about 10 minutes. I was only able to fit 6 slices in the 9x13 pan, so I halved the recipe. The result was pretty good...It was much more like bread pudding and much less like french toast, but after reading scores of reviews it was what I expected. Also, I substituted maple syrup for corn syrup since I didn't have corn syrup. I thought the sauce tasted wonderful this way.
