I am seventeen years old and LOVE to cook! I have moved from a big city(Chicago) to a small rural town(Pocahontas). Both places have very different food prefrences! So I have been able to try and make a variety of different dishes! Everything from top notch chinese to fried bologna sandwiches! My dad is also a Italian chef and owns a resturant. So I get many good cooking tips and tricks from him! I LOVE to make desserts! I'm also interested in health foods b/c we have been trying to eat a little bit better lately. I love baking cakes and pies. I also enjoy making different dishes from different countries! I like dishes that are fast and easy, but perfer to make things the "real" way. We make lots of special Christmas cookies and desserts every Christmas. Probably almost everything I have baked! I haven't had anything I baked that nobody has liked!! Or nobody wants to tell me! I have a tendency to leave things on the stove and forget about it!! That has happened more then once when I was baking for my family!
