I am 25 years old and I live in New York City. I recently got married on Christmas Eve. Since then, I have no other choice but to cook every night! I love to cook and bake and I am always looking for new recipes to try. I like experiencing new foods from different cultures from around the world. I have a lot of favorites...I love cooking Italian and Mediterranean food. My husband is from eastern europe, so I try to cook his favorite foods from his country. I am like the black sheep in my family, because no one else really cooks. The dishes that they make, I also make as well. Some are, Chicken Marsala, homemade tomato sauce, goulash, and poor man's stew. I have so many! I make really good meat balls which always causes conflict between my father and I. Also, baked clams, chicken marsala, beef stew, stir fry. I love to bake too, so my popular cakes/desserts are banana nut cake, baklava, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake...there are many to list! The first thing that comes to mind is when I tried to make sugarfree rice pudding, since then, I have never tried to make it or eat it again. Some things just don't taste right without sugar!
