About this Cook
Nothing fulfills me in life as much as cooking. Its my one true passion. If I'm not cooking, I'm thinking about cooking. Nothing else is as gratifying as serving delicious food to those I love. I love allrecipes.com because it motivates me to cook. I visit the site everyday to see what is going on, and very often leave work for the day heading to the grocery store with a recipe printed out in hand. Being an accountant is not exactly thrilling, but cooking for me is!
My cooking triumphs
I have been an avid food network viewer for years. I would love to someday go to culinary bootcamp at the Culinary Institute. My daughter gave me a book about it several years ago and I have been dreaming about it every since.

Awesome Baked Sea Scallops
This recipe was awesome! I didn't have enough scallops for the full recipe and there were only 2 of us, so I tried to cut the measurements accordingly. I added a splash of white wine to the mixture and I think the sugars in the wine helped to carmelize the mixture around the scallops. I plan to make this again and add some lump crab meat. I didn't quite understand other's comments about having too much topping, what I didn't need on top of the scallops fell around the scallops and created this wonderful sauce; the shallots and butter and wine created this awesome sauce that I wish I had something to serve it on top of, like a pasta. This is definitely a keeper.

Lola's Ethereal Orzo
I enjoyed this recipe but I would definitely make a few changes. It was a bit bland. I didn't think the boullion had enough punch to make a difference in the overall flavor.

Cornucopia
I made this for Thanksgiving and although it turned out OK, comments other reviewers made were dead on, but they didn't seem to help me in the process. I must have sprayed too much nonstick spray, I had a problem with one side falling off in the oven, but I was able to hide it with the placement of food around it on my platter. It did turn out a deep rich golden color which was nice. Also the reviewer who said to work quick was correct, I was alone and did notice the more the dough came to room temp the more difficult it was to work with. Overall it was a good recipe and everyone was impressed with it at dinner. Maybe my next one will turn out better.
