About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I love, love, love to bake.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making the best Hungarian goulash ever! Hungarian paprika is essential :)
My cooking triumphs
Honestly, when I learned how to sharpen my own knives properly. It takes more skill than you think, professionals make it look so easy.
My cooking tragedies
My first turkey. I was 20 and I got one with a little popout timer in the breast, it was supposed to tell you when it was done. Well, the stupid thing popped out, I put the turkey on the carving board and proceeded to carve away 'til I saw all the blood pooling at the bottom. Blechhhh!

Lamb Tagine
This dish is unbelievably good. Extrememly flavorful. All the spices blend in so subtly together and nothing overpowers anything else. You get a hint of a different spice with every bite you take. I used chicken thighs and I only let them sit in the fridge for 3-4 hours and it still turned out fantastic. I love this so much I've made up little "spice bags" attached to this recipe to give to my friends. Have heard nothing but raves. Thank you! **Edit** Aug 13, 2009 The first time I made this recipe, I followed the instructions. I made it again yesterday in my crockpot. I just threw everything in, DIDN'T brown the chicken, carrots and onions. I wouldn't recommend using the crockpot, the recipe lost a lot of flavor.

Buttermilk Pancakes II
Oh, these pancakes are the best ones I've ever had! Light and fluffy with just a tiny bit of crispness around the edge, yum! I followed other reviewer's advice and barely mixed this. I mean there were flour bubbles everywhere! Thanks because these turned out perfect.

Little Mickey's Favorite Cheesecake
Scrumptious, even though I made a couple of minor changes. I made a regular graham cracker crust and omitted the choc chips from the batter and made a ganache frosting instead. This cheesecake turned out to be so smooth and creamy and had a nice delicate peanut butter flavor, not overwhelming at all. First time using a water bath to cook a cheesecake, I plan on cooking all subsequent ones the same. Thank you.
