I'm a married student studying journalism... and experimental cooking is both my way to destress and, at times, become stressed. I love looking at recipes and then not following them. banana pancakes, green veggies, stuffed mushrooms, chinese dumplings, foods with fresh dill, dairy-free pesto, baked tilapia or salmon. On my mom's side, we're all Cantonese. Memories at my grandma's house include won tons, huge bbq ribs, fried smelt, colorful deep-fried shrimp chips, and bbq pork buns. On my dad's side we're German-Swedes. So bring out the pickled herring, limpa, lingonberries, and anything else one might find at IKEA. Living in Taiwan where ovens are not common. I learned to make a fairly close replica of traditional Thanksgiving dinner in my microwave and toaster oven. Just about every quick bread I ever try to make in my toaster oven. I'll never learn.
