About this Cook
I work at the cooking school of the most amazing place called Jungle Jim's International Market. I've been an assistant there for 10 years. One of my favorite things to do is create menus.
My favorite things to cook
I love to grill (I have 5 grills). I also enjoy making party foods/ appetizers/theme foods. I have fun going to my friends house (with their permission); opening the fridge and just creating from whatever they have.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every Sunday when I was growing up my family went to my grandparents where we all gathered for a spaghetti dinner. I don't always do this, but when I do; for some reason I feel like my world is more balanced.
My cooking triumphs
Hard to say since I work at a cooking school. But so many people always request my homemade spaghetti sauce. My grandparents had pasted away and I had to re-create it.
My cooking tragedies
The time I put chicken bouillon cubes in my home-made chicken soup and used chicken stock on top of that for my liquid. Let's just say "yuck" to be polite.

Wilted Spinach Salad
Made this last night and will again in 2 days (for company). I really recommend reading the recipe through before starting. The egg added raw to the bacon grease took me by surprise. I had just read the ingred. and hard boiled them all. Also please note that this is written for 12 servings. Making it for 4 people was tricky by doable. Next time I will add more time to the eggs for hardboiling. Mine came out at soft boil which wasn't bad, but isn't for everyone. Also a tip: Use "old eggs-not as fresh" they're easier to peel. And you shouldn't cover the eggs as directed. By doing that it traps the sulfure and causes the egg yolk to develope the green ring around it.

Roasted and Curried Butternut Squash Soup
This didn't taste very good to me. I think the oregano and cinnamon together didn't taste right. I added coconut milk to it and it still wasn't to good.

Grandma Nena's Lumpia and Pancit
Warning this recipe is bad. It leaves holes on what to do. How much is half a head of cabbage and how do you cut it? Do you honestly think 1 pound of chicken cooked in water is going to do anything? Then it was bland. I added onion and garlic to try to save it. Then 8 ounces of canton noodles do not need 8 cups of water to cook in. The recipe made it seem as if you should use all of it. Quite frankly I only used 3 cups to get the noodles right. Pancit is a casserole not a soup. The remaining half of the mixture is supposed to go into lumpia's (made with spring roll wrappers not lumpia wrappers) and the mixture is way to coarse for that. Definitely have to chop it fine. Good luck making this. I've been a cooking school instructor for 13 years and I had to really change it to get it to work.
