I'm a student at McGill University, in Humanistic Studies & Social Studies of Medicine. I'm completely vegetarian, but not vegan (so eggs, dairy & honey are fine, but absolutely no animals including chicken and seafood). It's been an adventure in culinary exploration to find the whole world of vegetarian cooking that exists! There's not much I don't like cooking; the only thing I don't cook is meat (for moral reasons) and crepes (because they foil me every time). I adore making soup on cool fall days, throwing together a new pasta dish for the family, and especially experimenting with all sorts of international cuisines. I love to push myself to try harder recipes, but I also really enjoy having my own creativity to fall back on. 1. Making Christmas cake months in advance with the whole family - everyone had to stir it! 2. Huge roast dinners with my grandparents on Sundays when I was growing up. 3. Putting on dinner parties with my parents. We each get to manage a different part of it (dessert, mains, appetizers, etc.). Roasted vegetable, garlic and parmasan focaccia - simply divine. Mastering the art of improvised pasta! Pineapple-meringue cake (a layered & very complicated dessert involving many, many steps... but it's so worthwhile). My famous rose primavera pasta sauce. Mushroom, leek & sundried tomato tart, with homemade basil-flavoured crust. Lemon wafers that oozed all over the oven... Also, an awful improvised chili with shitake mushrooms - so bad I had to throw it out, which I have never even come close to doing before.
