About this Cook
An actor and cook keen in improvisation.
My favorite things to cook
Cinnamon buns - they fill my kitchen with their fragrance and bring back some of my sweetest memories.
My cooking triumphs
At age 14, I created a biscotti recipe that calls for banana, pine nuts, honey, and cinnamon. It is loved by all who have tasted it.
My cooking tragedies
Once I had a sudden craving for a slice of fluffy, golden cake. So I set out to bake one. While measuring the ingredients, I accidentally used 1/2 tsp baking powder instead of 1 tsp as required because I mixed up the spoons (and didn't realize the mistake until it was already beyond too late). The cake turned out like a brick and was eventually fed to ducks.

Roasted Turkey Legs
Sorry, I know this is kinda like cheating. But the baking method of this recipe is AWESOME! I used the seasoning from the Sticky Rotissierie Chicken and baked according to this recipe's instructions. I had one turkey leg and baked it for about 1 hr 40 min, basting with olive oil for about 6 times. The turkey was SOOOO moist. Plus, the skin was very crispy too. INSANELY DELICIOUS!!

Roast Sticky Chicken-Rotisserie Style
The seasoning is amazing! I made a few changes according to my own taste: halving the salt, increasing the garlic powder to a full tsp, adding 1/4 tsp of cinnamon, omiting the white pepper and increasing the black pepper to 1 tsp. The chicken turned out extraodinarily moist and flavorful.

Carrot Cake III
After reading the reviews, I decided to use all brown sugar to make the cake moister. Also, when I measured the flour, I spooned it into the cup and then leveled with a knife: this way you get less flour and as a result, lowers the ratio of dry : wet ingredients. The cake was very moist and delicious with 1/2 cup of raisins (coated with flour to prevent sinking). But a tad more cinnamon would have made the cake even better.
