About this Cook
I have always enjoyed cooking, both of my parents are excellent cooks, well, my dad was a chef before he retired. I attended cullinary school in Toronto and after graduation moved to Massachusetts. I managed a restaraunt in NY City and then settled back on the Cape.
My favorite things to cook
My faforite foods to make are foods that make my freinds and family happy. I enjoy all types of cultural cooking from Italian to Thia.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Belgian waffles with the kids every Sunday morning!
My cooking triumphs
Catered our own wedding, including making the wedding cake. After I did this, I would never recommend anyone to take on the extra stress on a wedding day.
My cooking tragedies
hhhhhmmmmmm..... I guess that would be the day that I made home made bricks. The recipe I was using called it bread, but thats not what came out of the oven.

Portuguese Sweet Bread I
I, as many of the other reviewers, do not use a bread machine, I much prefer using a kitchen aid, bread pans and an oven. Anyway... I added some cinnamon, nutmeg and a touch of ginger and used this to make French Toast, it was amazing! This is a very easy bread to make, the dough is softer than I usually make, but I stuck to the reciep and am glad I did.

Opera
I was making this for a buffet, so instead of baking it in rectangular pans, I made it in loaf pans, and I make it with three layers instead of two. The loaf pan shape made it easier to slice in thin slices for a smaller size protion (this is a rich dessert and you do not need a large slice anyway) It was pretty easy to make and really worth it, every raved about it!

Seven Minute Frosting I
I remeber my mom making this when I was a kid, and it brought back fond memories. This is a great easy to make frosting for when you want something a bit different from buttercream frosting.
