About this Cook
I'm a teenager who has loved to cook (but mostly bake)since I was 5. My first memory of making anything was in kindergarten when my grandmother and I made gingersnaps and brought them to school. Since then, my parents haven't gotten me out of the kitchen.
My favorite things to cook
I love baklava, fudge, frosting and cakes, cookies, meringue, ice cream, custards, rosemary lamb, mashed potatoes, salad dressings, and anything Christmas or Thanksgiving.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Cookies and candies, California style cooking
My cooking triumphs
meringue, baked chicken, lemon cake filling, coconut cake, floating island, bread, lamb, salad dressings, yellow boxed cake!!!
My cooking tragedies
homemade gold cake that fell out of the pan and broke in two, curdled creme anglaise, sticky fudge

Crackle Top Fudge Sauce
WOW! Contrary to the other reviewers, this was great, and much easier/convienent than going to the story and paying a lot more money than it's worth for it. I did change the recipe to what I had: instead of cream, I used milk, and I used chocolate chips only instead of a baking square with it (I added 1T chocolate chips for each square.) THANKS SO MUCH! My little brothers loved it.

Fabulous Pesto Pasta Salad
I can't even imagine what this tastes like with all of the premium ingredients. My local deli makes this, and I had to give it a try! I used a LOT of substituting and it turned out great anyways. Almonds (I blanched and toasted) for pine nuts, White wine vinegar mixed with red wine for red wine vinegar, dried basil from over the summer for the fresh, mostly dried herbs except for the cilantro, and the part I find funniest: string mozzerella for lunch boxes that I grated!! This was wonderful, will def. make again.

Brownie Oat Cookies
wow. this is a really, really great lowfatlowcal cookie. i didn't think it would be good from other people's reviews, but they were fine. followed recipe exactly; mixed dry together and then added whites, the combined, syrup, then combined, and finally vanilla. they were chewy yet crunchy. followed another reviewer and baked 1st batch as a cookie and filled the rest in an 8x8 to make brownies. dusted with confectioner's sugar. if you try the cookies and realize the flavor or sweetness isn't enough, drizzle with honey. these were great, will def. make again!!! thanks!!!
