The name's IthilienDude, and I live in the Centre of the Known Universe... accompanied by my oh-so-very helpful fellow kitchen elves. They... are awesome...
My favorite things to cook
Anything that satisfies the sweet tooth. Good auld fashioned sweeties are my favourite, but cakes and biscuits are my speciality, and - though I say it myself - I'm pretty darn good at it. I've been doing it since I was seven... =P
My favorite family cooking traditions
Rashers wrapped around cocktail sausages at Christmas. Thems is goooood.... =)
My cooking triumphs
My area of expertise is cakes and biscuits, but presentation is something I pride myself on being good at... especially icing cupcakes. Thank God for the classic swirl =D
My cooking tragedies
Oh, there have been many. My favourite one is when I opened a proper rotten egg into an entire bowl of pancake batter. Lesson learnt: NEVER crack eggs directly into mixture =(
