I am passionate about international foods and good wine, but I love dives and road food just as well!
My favorite things to cook
Crock pot recipes, Vegetarian foods, Hummus, Random weird cookies, Casseroles, Retro Recipes
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every one of my recipes isn't half as good as my grandma's! She makes this potato salad that will make you cry for real...
My cooking triumphs
I invented a Thai Eggroll that is still getting requested. I also got 3rd runner up in a Chili Cookoff a few years ago (ok, there were only three participants but I still got a trophy). There are probably 100 off-the-cuff recipes that I made up, loved, and instantly forgot!
My cooking tragedies
3 words: croque-en-bouche! I ended up sobbing in the middle of the kitchen floor glazed in caramel.
