about me

Hello.. welcome to my page, thank you for dropping by.

I am ...*as my mom says* "jack of all trades, master of non"..hehe.. a freelance Graphic Designer + Fitness and Nutritionist, and ..well...when I'm not working, (winter is for hibernating)... I'm usually planning a party, and amazing food is always on top of my list!! *Zaars has been so helpful! ...thank you to everyone, you really are all wonderful to share so many good recipes*

Things I enjoy... drawing, everything to do with bodybuilding, reading (I love reading recipe books.. and I know they are others here who do too..(so now I don't feel weird..hehe), baking, trying out new foods (cooking and eating!), painting (well, everything art related).. at the moment attempting mural painting!

I've been cooking since I was 10 (way back then..hehe).. but it's amazing how much there is about cooking/baking/food that I still have yet to learn. I prefer cooking from scratch (it's just the way everyone in my family cooks).. and so, I usually skip 'box cake' recipes, etc.

I have a passion for 'international recipes'.. and usually that's the first dishes I will try to make. (I have a some what muddled up background, so this makes everything international to me..hehe wonderful huh?)

One of my favourite cookbooks is 'The Around The World Cookbook' ... it's the one book I seem to follow the the recipe as is.

Favorite Foods:

I dont think I have One favourite dish. A few of my favorites include, Harira (Moroccan Soup) Khow Suey(Burmese Pasta Dish), Spinach Manicotti, eggs (yes, I like eggs!)...erm.. that's all that comes to mind at the moment.

I have a sweet tooth.. so every dessert is wonderful.

A dish/dessert I'm famous for? uhmm.. My Hazelnut Cookies, (Carribean) Banana Coconut Cream Cake, Banana Cake, Rainbow Oaties and as of today, my Chocolate Surprise Cookies.
And in non-desserts: Beef Cheese Pie and BBQ Chicken.



***********My Rate System************

(5 stars): Final product tastes and looks wonderful and it's always a plus if it doesn't give me any trouble (ie: I can get it out of the pan, etc.)

(4 stars): Tastes pretty good, has potential to be a 5 star recipe, some members in my family liked it.

(3 stars): Not really planning to make it again. No one in the family enjoyed it much.

(1 & 2 stars): I don't rate people below 3, I personally don't like to say 'food doesn't taste good' (even if you think it) as all food is a blessing, and just because I didn't take to it..others might.

(note: I usually pick recipes I think will turn out well, and so far only one has flopped.. but that might be my fault)
