I love cooking and try new recipes out often. I particularly love to try out unique recipes, especially from many different regions and cultures. My favorite foods tend to be Asian, especially Japanese. I enjoy baking most of all, and tend to use lots of herbs and florals in my baked goods.
I lived in Germany for a year, where I acquired many German recipes. My parents are both great cooks, so they were a great inspiration in my cooking. Actually, most of my extended family pretty much rock at cooking, so I was always pretty lucky food-wise.
I have lived in New York, New Hampshire, Kentucky, Kansas, Louisiana, California, Germany, Connecticut, North Carolina, England and most recently, Florida. I have studied several languages,although I don't consider myself truly fluent in anything but English and Typo
I can easily read and translate most any recipe written in German or French, and can usually follow a recipe well enough in Spanish or Italian as well. If you need any recipe translating help, let me know.
Other hobbies: Video Gaming,Reading, Crafts
I have pretty daring tastebuds and always like to try out new cuisines and ingredients.
How I Rate Recipes:
5 Stars: Outstanding,a special find that I will make over and over again
4 Stars: Very good, something I highly recommend others to try, I would make this again, although I might make minor changes to suit my tastes.
3 Stars: Good, but not something I will make again often. Might need some slight changes, but in general the recipe works and others might enjoy this more than I did.
2 Stars: Fair, recipe did not work out well for me and I cannot recommend it.
1 Star: Poor, recipe did not work at all and I would caution others to consider another recipe.
