My name is Elaine and I love to cook! In
fact, cooking is my favourite hobby.
I started on cooking when I was very
young, with my mother, and the first thing we
did together was: cookies, gingerbread
cookies because it was Christmas time. The
smells from the kitchen filled the room! Ever
since, the kitchen is my favourite part of the
house, which is why I spend most of my time
there.
I like to try new plates and experiment
until I succeeded in mixing the right
ingredients, to improve the flavour of the food
I prepare. While cooking, I taste all the food to
see if it needs any salt or other spice. I also
use lots of herbs in cooking because they add
so much flavour to the food. Actually I even

grow some fresh herbs of my own!
One of my specialities is roasted meat
with potatoes, all my family loves it! But I
rather prefer preparing desserts.
My dream is to attend a cookery course
to better my performance in the kitchen.
