I'm a young aspiring chef with a great interest in pastry and deserts. I like to cook comfort type foods with a gourmet twist on a budget. I like to try to make yummy low carb and low fat things and I'm trying to learn everything i can. Cakes, Desserts, chicken dishes, Pasta dishes, low fat alternatives. Lots of Southern Comfort food and gourmet food. My family pallet is very eclectic, so mine is also. Cake Decorating classes. Thanksgivings. Casual cooking for friends. Balsamic reduction glaze - I accidentally got it too hot and it began to react like candy and hardened on the bottom of my pan.
