About this Cook
I love to cook! I'm a very strict vegetarian, almost completely vegan. My boyfriend and I are constantly trying out new recipes. I even manage my own vegetarian blog: http://blog.shippersx.com
My favorite things to cook
Anything vegetarian. Desserts are my favorite to cook, but not to eat.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I don't really have any. All of my families recipes are not vegetarian, sadly. I plan on making some of my own soon! During the holidays, the meal my family cooks revolves around a dead animal, so I don't take part in that anymore.
My cooking triumphs
Everytime my boyfriend and I cook a delicious meal, it's a triumph for us both!
My cooking tragedies
One time, I tried out a new recipe from a cookbook of mine. I went to two different stores getting the ingredients (It was for a special rice dish with cashews). It was expensive to buy too. Did everything perfectly, tried it, and absolutely hated it. Very disappointing. I've been lucky and haven't had anything catch on fire.

Hoot Owl Cookies
I followed the recipe to the letter and my cookies turned out DELICIOUS. I cut the recipe in half and within a few hours, half of the cookies were gone (my boyfriend and I can't get enough of them). One tip: Don't preheat the oven as step 1, the dough has to chill for 2 hours, what a waste of energy. Will be making these many times over.

Hot Cross Buns
Not bad, Not bad. This was my very first Hot Cross Buns experience.... never tasted them, never made them. I don't eat eggs, so I substituted Ener-G in place (that worked out great). Overall, they were pretty good. I can't make the cross look good to save my life (haha), but the bun part was good. I decided to use a plain glaze instead of an orange glaze. Extra glaze is a must.

Brilliant Potatoes With Paprika and Caramelized Onions
I made a few changes, but this recipe is great! I actually used half of this recipe and half of another to create the PERFECT potato side dish. I made the caramelized onions and used the seasonings (except the dried minced garlic... and with what I used, I didn't measure it out, just tossed it in). Instead of using the canned potatoes, I used fresh red potatoes. I cut them into wedges, soaked them in cold water, patted them dry, and tossed them with the seasonings. I put them in the oven on a baking sheet for 20 minutes, flipped them, put them back in and baked them for another 15-20. When they came out, I tossed them with the onions. Serve with ketchup. YUMMM! Perfectly crispy wedges.
