Amateur cook with the passions of a chef My matzo ball soup and salmon patties have never seen the word "leftovers." I'm always willing to learn a new recipe or experiment with flavors. Though I don't cook five star cuisine, I know how to make anything filling and give it good flavor, whether it's a strawberry shortcake or just a pan of gravy. I'm a college student and know how to cook on a budget if necessary. I enjoy raw ingredients as well as cooked and some things, like a lot of fruits and veggies, were made to be munched on in their raw form. I read in my spare time, but I tend to stumble across recipes by accident rather than actively seeking them out. I like watching Top chef, but would rarely put that much preparation into a single meal. Walking and yoga are my only forms of exercise.
