About this Cook
I love cooking, and eating what i make! I make as much from scratch as i can, from pies to fish fingers. I love fresh fish and am always looking for recipes to try to make fish more interesting.
My favorite things to cook
I love making bread, especially Jo's Rosemary Bread. I enjoy making savory meals, and love pie. Making meals with left overs is always a challenge for me, so am always looking for new ideas for this.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I don't really have any traditions. My daughter helps in the kitchen when we bake, and loves getting right in there. She also loves licking the spoon after we've made cakes!!
My cooking triumphs
I made Piccalilli for the first time and it came out amazing, just like we have here in England.
My cooking tragedies
I made a chocolate cake for one of the guys at work birthday. It happened to be on the hottest day of the year and so melted in the car on the way to work in the morning. My boss told me it looked like elephant poo :-( i was really upset, it took me ages to make!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies III
I didn't realise i had no vanilla, so used orange extract instead. also i dont like white chocolate and had no walnuts, so missed them out too. everything else i kep exactly the same. They're really good :-) I put them in the oven for exactly 8 minutes, which was perfect. ANy longer and they'd have been over done. Will make these again when i have vanilla!!!

Ghirardelli Fudgy Gluten-Free Brownies
