I am American living on the Midlands UK and frequently miss my favorite foods from southwest. I found this site and has transformed my menu and my friends and family's menu as well. Most of my mates call me cookie.
My favorite things to cook
Mexican food, Italin, Chinese, and Indian. I love authentic regional dishes from around the world, as well as cooking some of my favorite home-cooked classics from when I was a kid. Oh, and I have a thing for baking.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving of course, I love doing a big thansgiving here in the UK, its quite a challenge to find all the ingredients.
My cooking triumphs
Thangsgiving of '94 cooked for 30-ish people in the UK who never had Thanksgiving dinner before - fantastic event, they still talk about it.
My cooking tragedies
First attempt baking with a Gas fired oven when I was used to a fan-assistd electric for 10 years. Flat heavy uncooked banana bread, hard crispy cookies, burnt lasagne.. I finally got used to it.
