Hi! My name is Rachel and I love cooking, especially baking. I first started cooking very young with my mom. I used a butter knife to cut, and I climbed on a chair to see over the countertop. Now I've moved on from the butter knife and chair and I love baking desserts when I'm in the mood for one. I like experimenting with the recipes and tweaking them to my taste. =D Desserts and stir-frys! Everyone in my family except my dad loves to cook together and we always have good times in the kitchen creating some kind of dish. People usually really like what I bring to potlucks, and that's because of Allrecipes, I only choose recipes with 5 stars. Hehe, once when I was about 10, I tried making custard with egg-replacer, because we had no eggs. That did NOT work out and the gross mixture bubbled over in the oven and made a mess!
