About me
My husband and I are aspiring foodies on a grad school budget. I always enjoyed cooking and baking at some level but strangley enough, what really inspired me to expand my learning was the movie Ratatoullie. I spent some some of my childhood in Germany and so I have a special fondness for food of that region. However, I also love french and italian. I am quite good with classic american comfort food like pot roast, meat loaf, pie, etc... I make a damn good schnitzel and fresh pumpkin pie if I do say so myself. I am pretty decent baker as well...I hope to be better. My fantasy is to sell my own baked goods or open a specialty food store like Ina Garten. I work in lymphoma research and my husband is getting his Ph.D in legal and political history.
My Favorite Foods
Schnitzel with saurkraut; coq au vin; chicken piccata; pumpkin pie; pork roast with baked apples; potato dumpling (though I can never get my own to hold together); all kinds of risotto recipes (butternut squash risotto...yum)
