Weekend Madness: Win an Autographed Copy of 'United States of Arugula'

I was ten or so, and I ordered a pasta dish when I was out to dinner with my family in Boston. At the time I couldn't stand arugula, but now I love it - in pasta or anywhere else.

I like making fresh chocolate chip cookies. It's one of the only things I can make without reading a recipe, and the smell is heavenly.

It was in a fancy sandwich at the Shangri-La Hotel in Manila. I was amazed at this strange, oddly garlicky, deliciously bitter, incredibly appetizing green stuff. I'm sure it also tasted 100000% better as we'd just finished our interview at the U.S. embassy in Manila, and my younger brother, sister and I were given our approval papers to come to the U.S. with my mom.

Cobbler with a cookie dough topping. It's a bit crunchy-it's like a warm sugar cookie. I love to make it with a combo of peaches and raspberries, or blackberries when I get the chance to pick them fresh.

I love making cream puffs. Dressed down, there's a nostalgic sweetness to cream puffs. Dressed up and called a profiterole they become an elegant dessert. There's an art to making the perfect golden brown cream puff.

I like experimenting, and still have a long list of things to try, so I don't go back and make things more than once unless I have a reason to. I think I've made Alton Brown's The Chewy the most, so far.

My favourite dessert is a pear and walnut upside down ginger cake.
Simply delicious with custard or cream.

I bake a lot. I like trying new cookie recipes, and finding interesting things to do with cupcakes. Lately I've been trying to improve my pastry skills.
