About this Cook
A food blogger, recipe writer, baker and lover of all things healthy and fresh. I grow my own vegetables which give us a ton of joy in the summer months! Check my blog at yummysmells.blogspot.com
My favorite things to cook
Anything spicy, breads (especially sourdough), cakes, cookies, muffins, gifts for others.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Autumn: apple pie and crisps; Christmas: chocolate chip cookies, shortbread cookies, filled brioches and Challah bread.
My cooking triumphs
I once made a chocolate souffle that stayed up! My sourdough boules are fantastic and I make a mean tofu-based (!) chocolate chip cookie that rival's mom's!
My cooking tragedies
Making a dark brown bread that used lots of food colouring and turned out green cause I forgot to add the red. My own 20th birthday cake never baked - it turned into a pan of grey sludge that I had to scrape into the sink.

Faux Jerk Chicken
Delicious, especially as a marinade for tofu (I don't eat meat). Why is is "faux" jerk though? Tastes exactly like the ones I had in Jamaica (except maybe missing ginger).

Intoxicating Onion Soup
Way too much wine for our tastes as written, bade again with 1 cup of dry Bordeaux, 3 cups of beef stock and 1 cup of water and it was perfect. Love the pure onioniness though!

Zucchini Brownies
These didn't disappoint flavour-wise - but I have to agree with the others who said this was more of a cake than a "brownie". I even reduced the leavening to try and "fudge it up" a bit (my standard fudge brownie has none). Even then, delicious, and my glut of zucchini is gone!
