About this Cook
I'm an undergraduate psychology major at the University of Florida. I live with my boyfriend and four cats, and I love to cook for friends and family. I've just started up a weekly potluck with my other broke college friends, so I expect to be using this site more often.
My favorite things to cook
New things!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother taught me how to follow a recipe and to be kitchen-savvy, and my father taught me to experiment, so I usually don't follow recipes exactly, but rather use them as templates from which to build on.

Baba Ghanoush
Following the recipe exactly makes a good template for baba ghanoush, but I had to jazz this up with extra lemon juice, smoked paprika, and a bit of cumin. Not bad, but I know I can find better recipes for this dip.

Carrot Pineapple Cake I
I followed the recipe to the letter except for the addition of a tablespoon of pineapple extract added to the cake batter. This was a huge hit at the work function I brought the cake to! Will make again!

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread
I make this all the time for friends and coworkers. The only change Imake is to add a box of Pumpkin Pie Spice pudding (this is seasonal, so stock up!) and halve the sugar. I can't make this fast enough.
