My favorite family cooking traditions
30 Plus people for sit down dinner on Christmas. They all say I should just go buffet! Imagine!!! A buffet....what kind of cook would I be??? =)
My cooking triumphs
I don't bake so when I pulled out Creme Brulee and Tiramisu that impressed my "true" Italian friends, I was pumped.
My cooking tragedies
Learning you cannot always double all ingredients. I ruined a New Year's dinner of Coquille St. Jaques when I doubled the shallots. Hours of making homemade crepes and the whole to do were wasted by what tasted like shallot soup and cheese. My 12 guests were polite, but hungry!
