About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
anything challenging....I'm not a fan of the quick and easy recipes.
My cooking tragedies
When I first started out cooking, I made a chili recipe from allrecipes.com. The recipe called for two tablespoons of 'garlic powder'. I didn't have any so I decided to use two tablespoons of 'garlic salt' instead. I think you can guess how nasty, and extremely salty the chili turned out.

Pecan Pie V
Like many other reviewers said.....I will NEVER make another pecan pie with corn syrup. Absolutely delicious. Sure, the stick of butter seems like a lot but come on.....it's a pie...you're not eating it because you're trying to lose weight.

Coconut Curry Tofu
excellent and very easy dish. I used dried shitake mushrooms (that I reconstituted in water of course). For the chili paste I wasn't sure if it meant plain old chili paste like Sambal Oelek, or the chili paste that is actually made for curries and comes in a red or green variety? I chose to use the red curry paste and it turned out wonderful. I think next time I might leave out the yellow pepper (didn't seem to go well with the dish) and add frozen peas and bamboo shoots instead. Served it with brown rice (which I over cooked a little....but as a result gave it a paella-like crunch) and was in heaven.

Chinese Mabo Tofu
I followed this recipe exactly and it turned out great. I used low sodium tamari instead of regular soy sauce. It was still a little on the salty side I thought....but good anyway.
