I moved to Brazil in 2003 as a newlywed. I didn't know how to cook at all, but I'm much better now. I love to try new recipes out on my husband, and we frequently have barbecues where I can show off my cooking talents to friends.
My favorite things to cook

Making cookies with my grandma while growing up. Hopefully my daughter will love to cook with me when she gets older.
My cooking triumphs
Buffalo wings, chicken cordon bleu, cinnamon rolls, and tiramisu from this site have been a big hit with family and friends.
My cooking tragedies
Grilling in general. My husband's the grill master.
