About this Cook
I'm a wife and mother, who loves to shower my love through what I cook and bake.
My favorite things to cook
Chicken Parmesan, Soups, Boerkool, Chili, anything with chocolate, cakes and cookies.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My Grandma and Grandpa lived in Indonesia for quite a while, and they taught me all about Nasi and Bami and Croupoek. Also, my Mom and Grandma passed down their fabulous baking skills to me.
My cooking triumphs
I would have to say my biggest cooking triumph so far is taking on the job of a Summer Camp Chef. I've had no professional training, but things were great and in budget!!
My cooking tragedies
There are always tragedies in my house - mainly my 4 year not wanting to try anything new to eat, which happens a few times a week.

Almond Tea Cakes
What a great recipe - this is pretty much the same as some of the dutch almond tea cakes you can buy in stores. Just watch your timing - I found that 16-17 minutes was plenty for a nice, moist tea cake!

Chocolate Chip Date Nut Cake
I enjoyed this cake, as did my husband, but overall it lacked pizzazz. Perhaps I'll experiment with using molasses and brown sugar for a darker cake and maybe some cloves, nutmeg and allspice for some kick to it.

Brownie Mix in a Jar II
These are the best brownies ever, especially if you add in chocolate chips. I was the head cook at a summer camp this year, and these were friday's lunch dessert. Counselors counld hardly wait for fridays and campers loved them!!!!
