Hi, my name is Angela. I'm currently living in the Vancouver area. I'm 21, and consider myself to be a proficient chef. Cooking for me is a de-stresser, so I get double the benefits from cooking - relaxation and good food! My favorite things to cook are traditional, hearty and filling meals such as chicken parmigiana, roast beef dinners, roast chicken, my twice-baked potato casserole dish and family traditions like popovers and honey for breakfast or homemade crepes with homemade warm fruit compote. I like cooking foods that taste good, are (sort of) good for you and try to follow the motto of everything in moderation. My favorite family cooking traditions are; -He who cooks does not do the dishes -He who cooks can feel free to drink a nice glass of wine while cooking -Popovers with honey on Sunday mornings -Popcorn, popcorn, popcorn and more popcorn! I don't know if I have any specific cooking triumphs. I suppose first learning to cook at ten for a family of five could be considered a triumph. Every time I try a new dish of my own, or work with a recipe to create something different and unique, and it turns out to taste great is a triumph to me! It's taken me a long time to learn how to cook rice on the stove, so I've had quite a few instances of overly hard, yet runny rice! Thankfully my rice cooker has now solved this problem. Forgetting about the popcorn on the stove/not hearing those first three test kernels pop and ending up with oil smoke covered pots, having the smoke alarm go off and having to start all over again (or giving up and reverting to microwave popcorn).
