I'm a high schooler who likes to bake for my Latin class and my friends' birthdays. I'm not too good at baking, but I like the chemistry/mathematical aspects of recipes. It's all like a huge experiment and math problem rolled into one! I'm a very competitive rower, as is my mother, so the things I cook for myself and/or my family are generally pretty healthy. Favorite dishes: mango salsa, apple bran muffins, oatmeal cookies, tandoori chicken, soda bread, pumpkin muffins, smoothies, and any type of vegetable (except okra, spinach, and cabbage). My dad and I make a turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas. His mother taught him how, and I'll probably teach my partner and/or kids when I'm older! Not too many yet. I made peppermint candy for Valentine's Day this year, and that turned out way better than expected. No really bombed things. Yet.
