About this Cook
i have been cooking since i got out on my own. i started with magazines like cuisine and eventually went over to bon appetit which i claim to have almost every issue in print! i cook as a hobby on the weekends but now that i have children i do not often make the things i like to eat..things that no one else does like seafood and lamb. i am a staunch supporter of this site and most things i cook these days come from here!
My cooking tragedies
anything that needs a candy thermometer--i run screaming at recipes that call for one!

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
i think the real raspberries are superior to jam and not too much trouble to make the sauce. i would next time dump the whole sauce in the middle. some of it escapes to the top anyway when you add the rest of the batter. the cooking style of "1 hr. in oven with heat.....1 hr. without" is perfect...even though cake shook a bit too much after first hours. divine!!!

English Pie Crusts
i was going to reserve judgement until after i ate this but this was the worst pie crust mess i ever had...and that was without adding the water. way too much shortening. i had to add at least another cup of flour and then doctor it up so ended up with twice as much (hopefully salvageable) pie crust than i needed
