About this Cook
I come from a family that loves to cook so naturally I have picked it up. I actually feel cooking is relaxing as crazy as it sounds.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook anything and everything. I will try anything that looks or sounds good.
My favorite family cooking traditions
There are no constants. My parents always recreated dishes everytime they made them. I think I have inherited the experimentation trait.
My cooking triumphs
When someone asks me for the recipe, thats a triumph.
My cooking tragedies
My greatest tragdies would be when I forget I added salt and I add some more. In the end it tastes like we just put the salt shaker straight to our mouths.

BAKER'S(R) ONE BOWL Coconut Macaroons
I have made this twice now and each time everyone raves about them. It is so so easy! I used only a 1/2 tsp of almond extract and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. As well as 3 Extra large egg whites. Really Good.

Panna Cotta
This was really really good. I actually only used 1c of heavy cream and used 2% milk in place of the rest of the milk and cream called for, only because thats all I had. It turned out perfect! So creamy and rich, you wouldn't think I had altered it at all. At least it was a little healthier I guess. I served it with slices of ripe strawberries. I'm going to try making a sauce with strawberries & brown sugar and see how that goes. I plan to experiment with this recipe. But awesome as is.

Beth's Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
This is definitely the best tasting oatmeal raisin cookie I have ever had! My husband loved them and he took some to work and they loved them too. I've made them a couple times now and sometimes I add shredded coconut. My only complaint is that the cookie is so soft the it just crumbles to the touch. I followed the directions as well as some reviewers' tips. No Luck.
