I'm 23, and I'm a 6th year senior at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. I have a bachelors degree in Philosophy and I'm finishing up my second bachelors degree in Law, Societies, and Justice. I started cooking my sophomore year of college and haven't been able to stop since, I love it! I loooove making appetizers and having friends over. I'm always making new appetizers, dips, snacks, etc. and I love pairing new things with wine to see what unexpected combinations work well together. I also love making my moms famous chili, which is so involved it takes two days to make. Luckily it makes enough to last a week! I'm famous for my authentic mexican dishes, many of which are from my Mexican-born boyfriend's family recipes. See my recipe box for a few of them. I also like to experiment with marinades for grilled chicken, salmon, steak, vegetables, etc. Baking cookies with my mom and me accidentally spilling flower all over the kitchen. It seems to happen every time I bake. I've cooked for all of my friends and family and have never had a bad review. When I was about 12 I was home alone and bored and I decided to make an angel food cake. Don't know what I did wrong, but I cooked it for about 3 hours and the middle was still not cooked through.
