I started cooking very early in my mom's big country kitchen. At the age of 12 I could prepare a full meal by myself. I love cooking and baking and dream of becoming a pastry chef someday. I like to make pastries and pies and special dinners. My favorite is to make desserts that other people appreciate. I have worked with biscuits until I finally came up with the fluffiest ones I could. My triumph was in discovering that they need to be treated like a pie crust. Very little handling brings out the best in your biscuits. I once added 1/4c. of baking soda to a gingerbread recipe instead of a 1/4 tsp. It wasn't noticable until you ate one and started burping immediately after.
