About this Cook

I'm a Ph.D. in chemical engineering. About 5 years ago I realized that I have an inate cooking ability and find that I enjoy testing my limits on more and more difficult foods.

My favorite things to cook

Filets of Beef in Pasilla Chile Sauce. (Recipe for Robert La Grande)

My favorite family cooking traditions

I enjoy preparing a seafood feast for Christmas including King Crab and Mussels.

My cooking triumphs

I tried Salmon Tamales recently and they came out amazing! Cooking for 40 people off the grill for my engagement party a few years back.

My cooking tragedies

Veal Marsala cam out gooey and burnt. One of my rare blunders.

Fresh Spring Rolls With Thai Dipping Sauce

My family loves this recipe! I cook the shrimp in a Court Boullion which imparts great flavor to the shrimp. I also used the quick peanut sauce given by a previous reviewer. I took a spoon of the sauce in this recipe and included it within the spring roll to add flavor and moisture. Loved it.

Slow Cooked Corned Beef for Sandwiches

Really enjoyed this. I used 1/2 guiness and 1/2 harp for beer. I cooked the beef for 8 hrs on the low setting for the crock pot. It was absolutely tender and the sauce was fabulous!

Southern as You Can Get Collard Greens

I really enjoyed this. Not sure what to do about the Ham hocks, though. I found them indedible. Are they just for flavoring the greens or does one eat them? The only reason I'm going 4 stars instead of 5 is my family just didn't appreciate it as I did.
