Hey there, I'm Maia. :) I'm 16 & I love good food! My parents are super busy so for many years we've had very basic and quite tasteless meals that my dad prepared in a hurry - so a couple of years ago, I decided to take over. Now I'm making most of our meals, and enjoying it greatly. I love discovering simple recipes that are full of flavor (and with affordable ingredients!).
My favorite things to cook
I love Indian food... it's a real challenge :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
The Sunday pancakes. We haven't had those in a while but when I was a kid, we'd have our pancakes with cottage cheese and peaches every Sunday, without fail.
My cooking triumphs
Triumphs? Oh, I dunno. Probably a dinner I invented on the spot, which made the family say, "Wow! Where'd you find the recipe?"
My cooking tragedies
When I was making carrot soup and the blender exploded in my hands :P
