I am currently completing my undergraduate degree in Dietetics at McGill University. Moving out and having to cook all my meals on my own while pursuing a food-related degree has forced me to regard food in a lot of different perspectives. I'm currently trying to strike a balance between food that is "real" (i.e. minimizing convenience foods) but quick, tasty but healthy, and of course also trying to grasp my Chinese roots.
My favorite things to cook
Creative salads, dinner, weekend breakfasts.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I am proud to say that at 21, I have already made four Thanksgiving turkeys in my lifetime.
My cooking triumphs
Any time a new recipe turns out (which, fortunately, is frequent), especially if I can also make it LOOK good.
My cooking tragedies
Sometimes, health and taste just don't mix--I recently failed miserably at trying to make whole wheat crepes, but fortunately quickly realized that I just needed to add more milk!
