Vanitas
Senior Cook
Hello everyone! I come bearing gifts:
I'm 26 years old and live in beautiful British Columbia, Canada with my fiance and three cats. I absolutely love cooking and collect recipes to the point of obsession.
I grew up with a mom who was always cooking new dishes. She rarely pulled out a recipe book, and instead whipped up meals with whatever she had on hand. A common dinner was "Mom Surprise" - which consisted of some sort of meat with veggies in a sauce. And it was never the same twice! I have inherited that "free-style" of cooking and am not afraid to substitute ingredients or tweak recipes.
My fiance is the complete opposite - not EXACTLY following a recipe makes him nervous and he usually just ends up asking me for help. So he is more than happy to sit back and give my "culinary prowess" free range in the kitchen. Which is just fine with me - to be honest, he can be a little annoying when I'm cooking since he's always asking things like "what are you doing? Why are you doing that? Well, what does the recipe say? Are you sure?!".
Looking forward to browsing the site to learn some great new tips and recipes, while sharing my love of cooking with others who feel the same way!!!
