Me and the kitchen help
About this Cook
I am a student at Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. Going to be a history teacher.
My favorite things to cook
Love baking breads, cakes, cookies and pies!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Very, very German family, so I make a lot of stick-to-your-ribs wholesome dishes. My favorites include spaetzle, wiener schnitzel, potato dumplings (a little like spaetzle I suppose), strudeln/struesel, bierbroet, und pumpernickel breads
My cooking triumphs
I make a mean stuffed mushroom with white wine, shephards' pie, anything really coooking with wine I'm good at, oh! and fudge. good at fudge.
My cooking tragedies
Haha...ok, when I was 9, I wanted to make a coffee cake. So I took my mom's coffee beans and chopped them with a knife and threw them in my coffeecake batter. It was the crunchiest cake I have ever made :). Also tried making a "camping" cake once, and thought it would be a good idea to have a blue jello lake in the middle. That went over well. Oh, the list could go on for miles. I've had a lot of fun in my kitchen!

Lemon Layer Cake
Use 1 pkg lemon pudding in here, and scald milk instead of boiling water. Makes a heavier but moister cake.

10 Pound Cheesecake
I haven't reviewed a recipe on here unless it was worthy of it. I am a professional cake decorator, and this recipe is a KEEPER! If using a stand mixer, buy heavy cream and whip your own cream (make sure to add powdered sugar to it!). I used 32 oz. of cream cheese (as I buy mine in 3 lb. blocks), but besides that, followed it to a T and it turned out spectacular!!

Sauerbraten IV
Eh... it didn't live up to my expectations, which weren't that high. I found that the flavor could have been enhanced more. Still looking for good recipes for sauerbraten.
