About this Cook
I'm a 20-year-old college student.
My favorite things to cook
Breads, cakes, cookies, and candy - baking, absolutely. I've worked at a seafood cookbook publishers' before too, which basically involved reading and thinking about fish all day. I used to dream about fish...
My favorite family cooking traditions
Pickachicken! My mom served it all the time. We usually had a lot of kids eating over, and so she'd put a whole chicken on the table and we'd pull it apart with our fingers - very communal and fun :)
My cooking triumphs
Anytime the food disappears fast, or anytime something I cook makes people happy.
My cooking tragedies
I set fires in the kitchen - pie fillings, pot holders, pots of boiling honey (!) There's usually a rush to open all the windows and doors and get the smoke out before the alarm goes off.

Glazed Apple Cookies
Mmmm! Moist and delicious; the frosting was a perfect finish. I had some kitchen problems which led to a few changes... I realized midway that our refrigerator was broken, and the eggs had probably gone bad, so I used 2 Tbsp. soy flour and 1/4 cup water instead - weird, but the cookies ended up delicious so I guess it worked :) I also used butter and pecans, and I baked these as bars in a jelly roll pan for about 30 minutes. I bet the original recipe would make great cookies too - I will try it again when things are less crazy in the kitchen. Thank you!

Bran Muffins a la Brian
Yum! Sweet, very tender, and delicious. I used nectarine sauce for more of the oil (random, I know), but that tasted really good! I also went generous on the raisins. Keeper! Thanks.

Winter Energy Cookies
Oh man... these are fantastic! I'll keep making them just because they're delicious, never mind healthy :) I subbed applesauce for half the butter like folks said, and the PB as well (I don't like it). Two other changes - I used equal parts 7 grain mix, wheat bran, and white flour - just because it was all I had, but yum! Also added cranberries and almonds, and I think that really worked... Oh, these are so good! I'm going to try making these again with different kinds of grain - maybe buckwheat? Thanks so much!
