My favorite things to cook is, chicken,(BBQ,Grilled,Baked,Smoked), fish(Smoked,Baked,Grilled,Fryed and etc. and also cakes and pies. My favorite family cooking traditions is during Christmas Holiday, my mom and I would start preparing christmas dinner but before we start we would go to the store and buy eggnog and would toast to christmas and now, my daughter and I has taken on this tradition. Now I have learn and conquer deep frying a turkey and so have my young daughter NeKita. My cooking tragedy was the holidays of 2008,which was Thanksgiving and Christmas, I didn't have a stove, I was trying to decide on what I could have without me using a stove. It was hard, but I managed.
