About this Cook
I live in Mexico with my brother and father, I just got fired and now I have a lot of free time to look for elaborate dishes and time to experiment and make my own.
My favorite things to cook
I love to make new recipes. Preferably elaborate things.
My favorite family cooking traditions
There´s many, my mom is a great cook.
My cooking triumphs
There´s many. The most recent one is cooking Christmas dinner for my entire family (about 15 people) that was the largest amount of people that I have cooked for in one meal. I made stuffed loin, twice baked potatoes, christmas salad and chocolate fudge pie.
My cooking tragedies
Haha, there are too many! Maybe when I was starting to cook, I tried making macaroni and cheese in the microwave and it was awful: the pasta was hard and crunchy and the cheese was lumpy and got burnt.I didn´t eat mac and cheese for a couple of years after that.

Tiramisu II
Okay first of all i have to admit I substituted a lot of things, but it still came out spectacular. Everyone LOVED this dessert though they all said they´ve never had tiramisu like this one so I don´t know if what I made cann even be called that. I subbed mascarpone cheese with 2pckgs cream cheese, 3 tbsp sour cream and a bit vanilla. I subbed the ladyfingers with plain poundcake. And I didn´t have rum for the coffee mixture so I used brandy instead. Oh, I also added a hint of cinnamon to the brewed coffee. And yes, you have to double the coffee mixture recipe. And MANDATORY refrigerate 48 hours. Sprinkle cocoa just before serving. WOW!!

Sweet Dinner Rolls
These were good, but I guess I was expecting something mindblowing after reading all the fantastic reviews. I didn´t make them in the breadmaker though, I just followed some suggestions on making them by hand. I would have liked them more if they were softer and they tasted a bit too yeasty. Not bad though.

Cake Balls
I made these last year and I can`t believe I hadn`t rated them. Wow is an understatement. I used devils food cake mix and betty crocker chocolate frosting. I garnished by sprinkling a melted chocolate bar. I refrigerated overnight and served as ^truffles^ after a semi formal dinner. They looked so elegant and tasted great. Everyone thought they were from some gourmet store. Thanks for the recipe!
