I am married and planning to have children. My husband and I love to try new things, check that, he likes to try it once I've tested it a few times. I am the baking queen, he is the sauce and the sandwich king.
My favorite things to cook
Call me basic, I love making cookies, simple, fun and quick! I also love making bread, no bread machines here!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I have inherited my grandmother's love for making bread and am now the designated bread maker of the family. Easter braids, Challa, Foccacia, and of course, Shredded wheat bread; my Great aunt Vera's recipe! That is the tradition I am keeping alive in my family.
My cooking triumphs
Greek Easter cookies: Koulouria. I actually impressed my in-laws (which are Greek of course) by making them even better than theirs!
My cooking tragedies
I can't recall one exactly, but I have had my share of dead yeast breads and under-baked cakes...
