I'm 21, and I love to cook with my family and friends. I have been cooking since I was 10, my mom and dad never liked to cook but my sister and I didn't mind because that meant we could cook whatever we wanted and they had to clean! I'm really beginning to understand balance of flavours and textures and am getting better everyday. I am studying to be a nutritionist, not that everything I make is healthy but I love to put a healthy twist on usually unhealthy dishes. I could never pick I love everything! My favourite cooking traditions would have to be cooking during the holidays with my family and friends. I was really proud of my bacon roast chicken, I couldn't find a recipes that was quite right so I got in the kitchen and made up my own. It was delicous and everybody loved it. I was so excited when it got published within a week! I can't for the life of me make a good shortbread! That is one of my boyfriends favourite cookies and I just can't get it right. :(
