I live in Portland, OR with my boyfriend, two cats and our dog. I have been a vegetarian since 2002, and enjoy finding new and creative ways to make meatless meals.
My favorite things to cook
Soups, stir-frys and lots of veggies.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother is a great cook, and I learned a lot about cooking healthy, delicious food from her. I am not a tremendously skilled baker, but my Aunt and I get together every December to make holiday sugar cookies. We usually eat them all before getting a chance to share with friends and family.
My cooking triumphs
Mastering fake tuna fish sandwiches!
My cooking tragedies
Baking a layered cake for a friend's birthday. There was raspberry jam filling between the layers, and an hour after the cake was finished, the jam started oozing out the sides and bottom of the cake, turning it into a soggy mess. I temporarily swore of baking after that.
