About this Cook
I love cooking - although eating what I cook is another story... I've been baking since my mom let me turn on the oven by myself (possibly... 5th grade?), before that I baked with my baby-sitter's little sister! So much fun!
My favorite things to cook
Bread! There's nothing like kneading bread until it hits the perfect texture. And desserts.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Frying hundreds of samosas for Eid parties...
My cooking triumphs
Mango lassi, yum!
My cooking tragedies
1) My many fortune cookie disasters. Why does it seem like I'm the only one who cares about the recipe for fortune cookies? 2) Cooking lentil soup... with a whole bag of lentils. I had no idea they would expand like that. I had to eat lentil soup for 1 month. Never again.

Ukrainian Apple Cake (Yabluchnyk)
So easy to make! Like apple pie but with half the effort! The only thing that I didn't like was the way the brown sugar strussel looked on top of the cake... it wasn't that appetizing (although it did taste good). I used dark brown sugar instead of light brown, so maybe that was the problem. I might sprinkle it around the edge by the crust rather than all over next time. I also dusted with confectioner's sugar. Great dish to make ahead!

Warm Mushroom Spread
This was really tasty; I may try using cream of mushroom instead of sour cream next time. I will also let it sit in the fridge prior to baking for a few hours, as the mushroom taste wasn't that strong (but definitely identifiable).

Simple Whole Wheat Bread
Delicious!! I halved the recipe (with 2 cups bread flour and 2 cups wheat flour) following the review from Mommyfromseattle - including the vital gluten! I baked it for 30 minutes till temperature read 190 degrees. So soft on the inside and crunch on the outside with a hint of sweet! Perfection!
