I am a medical student living abroad. A few years ago my boyfriend and I moved into a new flat and the kitchen finally became MINE!! We have wonderful appliances (although only a few of them which adds to the fun!) and I love to get in there and try out new recipes!
My favorite things to cook
I used to love baking more than anything else, but since I can't eat sweets and only sweets I started to focus more on savory dishes. Now I love to prepare hearty one-dish meals.
My cooking triumphs
Over the summer, I learned to make several Hungarian dishes while hanging out at Lake Balaton. It was great to hear Hungarians say that the dish was delicious! Additionally, my boyfriend told me that he didn't think it was possible to love me more, but after tasting my creme brulee he did.
My cooking tragedies
I try to put these out of my head. Nevertheless, I own a cookbook and the chef/author makes it sound like if you can't make cheese puffs you can't call yourself a cook. So, I started working on them. The first batch tasted nice but they looked like pancakes. The second batch looked great and tasted like egg-wash, yuck!
