About this Cook
I've travelled through Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, India, and of course Europe, so my food tastes can be quite diverse. My mom is from Ireland, so traditional Irish recipes always catch my eye. I live by myself, so I cook things that are easily frozen to eat later as leftovers, or to bring to work for lunch.
My favorite things to cook
anything with chocolate in it!! I'm a huge chocoholic. I love the Penne Russo a la Vodka recipe from this site.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My Gran's oatcakes with peanut butter. Any of the food at Christmas (well, except for Christmas pudding). My mom's Maccaroni and Cheese - which reminds me, I realy should get that recipe.
My cooking triumphs
I once made French bread from scratch. I'm told that even the French don't do it as it's time consuming. That might explain why I only did it the once despite the great outcome. ;-)
My cooking tragedies
Well, making the baking powder biscuits from this site with baking soda probably qualifies as a tragedy - they were quite disguisting ;)

Omelet in a Bag
This sounded a little odd to me when I first saw it, but I'm so glad that I gave it a shot!!! This is the easiest recipe, and the results are wonderful. I used a coffee mug to hold open the bag as some others had suggested, used three egg whites instead of the two whole eggs, and then just threw in what I had in the fridge which included: some baby tomatoes, one clove crushed garlic, red pepper, some broccoli, a sprinkle of dried oregano, and a little parmesan cheese. When it was cooked, I spread some Salsa on a whole wheat wrap, and rolled the omelet up in it. Yum ;o)

Mushroom Blue Cheese Turkey Burgers
These are great and really easy. I followed the sugestions of others and mixed the cheese right in with the meat mixture.

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup
Wow this was good. I only changed two things - I didn't add any extra salt, which I found wasn't needed and I added couple of green onions as they were in my fridge. I found that the milk mixture took about 10 minutes to thicken - longer than described in the recipe, but I'm wondering if it's because I used skim milk instead of regular. Anyways, the recipe turned out wonderfully.
