Born and raised in boring Edmonton.. Love to travel especially to the United States and Asia.. I would love to take a culinary adventure into Eastern Asia - especially India. No kids, not married.. Have a great boyfriend to cook for who appreciates every bite!
My favorite things to cook
love east indian cooking OOOoOOooo i could eat spicy curry and naan for the rest of my life. I absolutely love to cook salmon as well. I love cooking off the beaten path ~ it is a way for me to explore different cultures.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Of course Chinese food has always been a tradition in my household. My mom who is Filipino isn't as talented at cooking :( But my Dad definitely made up for it as he is truly my favorite cook of all time! We share recipes back & forth :O
My cooking triumphs
Salmon is my forte and and bringing out the oils and succulent flavors have become an art for me. I love to dabble with different infusions whilst trying new twists on old recipes!
My cooking tragedies
cannelloni... 2005... (sigh) I remember over cooking the shells ---- they broke apart of course while attempting to stuff them.. Went to the store, bought new shells and still they broke even though I under cooked them! I need to stuff them tactfully next time - I've pretty much said adios to future attempts for now!
