I am probably one of the youngest people on Allrecipes. Cooking provides a creative outlet for me where I can experiment. It is a wonderful stress reliever. If more people cooked we wouldn't need therapists! I enjoy making healthier versions of my favorite recipes. I am now cooking for lots of people (including myself) on a whole foods, organic, low-gluten, vegetarian diet. So, lots of tofu, eggs, beans, and green vegetables. No dairy, meat (other than eggs) and I also make green juices every day. I love creating delicious recipes, using these wonderful healthy ingredients. Some of my favorite memories of cooking are when my whole family gets together and everyone helps cook a meal. Also, when we have a large group of teenagers over to our house and we plan an evening of delicious culinary treats! I once made a recipe for a puff pancake. It was anything BUT puffy! It was dense and chewy and had no taste whatsoever.
