About this Cook
My cooking triumphs
Shrimp pad thai, lamb biryani, avocado rolls, German apple pancakes, warm balsamic spinach salad with goat cheese, hot wings, rib roast, twice-cooked chicken adobo, samosas aloo, Guinness beef stew, jambalaya, fresh egg fettuccine alfredo, and homemade baked mac with breaded topping.
My cooking tragedies
The most recent was thin cut pork chops that turned out having the texture of leather. At least the cider, maple glaze was delicious. Oh well. :)

Heavenly Halibut
I followed another reviewer's advice and baked the halibut at 375 degrees for a little more than 15 minutes, added the cheese mixture, topped with bread crumbs, and broiled until bubbly. I substituted chives for scallions and doubled the recipe for topping. The dish was well-received, though the fish was a bit underdone. Served it with steamed broccolini and penne pasta.

Cannoli
The shell was recipe was excellent. I had to add a couple of Tbs of water to get my dough to come together. But it did nicely. The narrowest sitting on my manual pasta machine cranked out shells that were blistering and crunchy, but also fragile. I might try the 2nd to narrowest setting the next time around. I also opted out of adding citron. Instead, I mixed in a tad amount of vanilla and almond extract.

Herb Rubbed Sirloin Tip Roast
I followed the recipe, with the exception of reducing salt to 1/2 Tbs. Results were tender medium rare meat with a bit of heat, but overall taste won "okay" reviews. The inside wasn't very flavorful. Perhaps next time, I'll marinate the roast first, braise the outside, and then rub the spices allowing time for it to permeate the meat.
