I'm a 24 year old, make-up artist, from NY and I love to cook! When I was growing up I always wanted to be a chef, but through high school I wasn't much into cooking anymore and realized my dream was to be a make up artist so that's my career of choice. I've recently started getting into cooking again and, although I don't want to do it professionally, I still love to do it and follow recipes well. I'm also getting pretty good at making things up, which is always fun! Anything chicken! Lol, I love it. I also like to bake and I love cooking very easy things that don't take long, but taste great! My grandma is the ultimate cook and most of the recipes she has were made up by her. This recent holiday season(2005) she was up visiting and she taught me a few of the dishes that she used to make when I was younger and taught me how to make it, it was really special! I just recently made a NY style cheesecake with fresh blueberry sauce..Came out AMAZING! Oh too many to count, but you learn from your mistakes!
