About this Cook
I am a young cook who is constantly looking for healthier ways to live and cook. I currently live abroad which is an additional obstacle for cooking but I have learned a lot about substituting for items that are available where I live.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I am from a large extended family (my dad is one of 12) therefore family gatherings at Christmas are my favorite, on the farm with awesome ham and beef and scalloped potatoes
My cooking tragedies
I learned never to trust dairy products in a country that LOVES salt and sugar, especially things like ricotta cheese. Let's just say stuffed mannicotti is a bust if it's extra salty and slightly sweet.

Chicken Marsala
This turned out delicious, though I agree with other reviewers it would have been bland without some additions. I cut down on the butter but kept the oil the same. I also added 2 garlic cloves to the oil/butter to give it some extra flavor. I also added basil to the flour mixure to give is some extra flavor. I also need more sauce so ended up doubling the sauce after the chicken was already cooked. I used the marsala, sherry, butter, oil, oregano, basil, garlic and more mushrooms for the suace. I also added some milk to it to make it creamier. It turned out great for what I needed.

Irish Soda Bread I
I have been making this for years and it's always a hit. It is definitely more cake-like then typical soda bread, but I prefer that to the typical rock hard that I've grown accustomed to. Make this, but be prepared to get critiques from your strict Irish friends who like the dry bread they are used to.

Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Chicken
Very tasty, sticky and sweet, but I think I will add more spice next time I make this. I like a kick.
