About this Cook
I am newly-ish married and a first year student in medical school.
My favorite things to cook
Soup -- particularly lentil soup. A good leftover soup since it gets better and better (before it goes bad).
My favorite family cooking traditions
Chicken soup, hands down. Second to that, my father's apple crumble. A Friday night dessert and a Saturday morning breakfast. Then, there's my grandmother's mushroom barley soup and potato salad that I've learned to replicate.
My cooking triumphs
Teriyaki beef. It was also my first time cooking beef and having it come out so deliciously was very encouraging.
My cooking tragedies
Some sort of avocado-melon pureed soup. My father liked it, and the rest of us gladly left it to him.

Bean Soup With Kale
Rave reviews all around! So tasty and nourishing! I made this soup twice - once with 2 cans of canellli beans, and once with 1 can chick peas + 1 can kidney beans. Both are delicious. Instead of plum tomatoes, I used a can of diced tomatoes with oregano and basil - gave the broth some extra savoriness. I'm about to forward this recipe to my mother and my best friend!

Lemonade Pie III
I just made this lemonade pie for the second time and ACCIDENTALLY used evaporated (non-sweetened) milk. This turned out to be a wonderful mistake, because I was then able to control the sweetness of this pie with adding honey until the desired sweetness. When I'd made this pie previously, the sweetness but just too much, although still delicious.
