About this Cook
Both my parents were world travelers and good cooks.I grew up up eating amazing food every day.I love to try new thing. I collect cook books
My favorite things to cook
I love making dim sum soups, breads and fresh vegetable dishes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family insisits I was Chinese in my former life. Most of our everyday meals are Chinese. Birthdays are a favorite , it's when you get to choose the meal and cake. I always make a huge batch of Cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning, we deliver them to our neighbors hot out of the oven.
My cooking tragedies
Once I mistakenly used baking soda instead of cornstarch in a stirfry recipe. Lesson learned always label if you change containers.

Mouth-Watering Stuffed Mushrooms
My guests gobbled them up . I only used about 4oz of cream cheese and still had extra stuffing. I bought prepackaged stuffing mushrooms and although the caps were big they had almost no stems so that may be why the proportion seemed off . It seemed a bit too cheesey , so next time I'll add some crab or breadcrumbs . I took the little bit I had left over and spread it on toast and popped it under the broiler , Yum!
