I'm a home cook that likes to explore and try anything and everything i see, im inspired by other cooks, chefs, fresh food, and spices. I love colour and height. I love cooking stores like House and Robins Kitchen and i think targets cooking and appliance section is rad! i get heart palpatations in chefs warehouses!!! Of couse i would like to pursue cooking as a job but im not sure where i fit in... I am currently working on jams, relishes, chutneys, sauces and marinades for the local farmers marjet and i might even go further than there if they are well recieved... no complaints so far... Im a new mum of a beautiful baby girl and have a wonderful husband with a happy tummy.... My interests in cooking began early like alot of people, watching older family members cook and then i started collectiong cookbooks and becoming more addicted to cooking shows on tv. by age 10-12 i was cooking the nightly dinner for my mother, sister and myself and it all went from there. the interest and the love got bigger and bigger. I am into food photography, doing a small course soon in that when i can fit it around the baby and my other projects that include cheese making, tattooing, make up, acrylic nails, art and crafting accessories... i have been on this site for about 18 months now (as of june 2010) and i will be updating soon when i have the time, i have heaps more new recipes and some excellent new photos to share x love the site, the members and all the learning and sharing :)

Hey Cooking Mama You need to remove the picture for your Banana Sour Cream Cake because it is mine. I have work hard on what I post and don't like people using my pictures or posts without my permission. http://nofearentertaining.blogspot.com/2009/03/banana-cake-with-cream-cheese-frosting.html Judy No Fear Entertaining
thats fine although i find it quite weird that u would all of a sudden know it was there, im sure u had never even heard of this site before 2 days ago and i suspect a certain member with a jealous vendetta against me may have alerted you i totally understand and have been truthful when borrowing an image, please refer to my profile about me section here is what it says,
just so you know in advance *i have borrowed various images from the internet (no, i didnt make my own allens cobbers box and print the logo's on it.... derr) the images are representations of the dishes that i have in my collection and look either identical when prepared or very similar* most images are my own property. they will be replaced as i make the dishes, now that i have a way better camera than when i joined. and on further investigation of other members pages ive found that its not uncommon to "borrow" images...
so u see i was never trying to take your limelight, i had no idea the original owner and i found the image in google images.... i think the law is ridiculous when it comes to this as people have stuck thier images out there without any security so i find them to be fair game, and as i stated a representation only of the cake that i make. it will be replaced before you even see this message. ill be off to do my own investagation now of other peoples STOLEN images.
Hey Cooking Mama - geez there's some weirdos out there eh? At least you have a bunch of great people around that know better ;) Just checking out your recipes and I must say I don't know where to start! I think I need to quit my job and just stay home to cook all day with the great stuff here! Darn shame you, me, Huda, Jackicam and Hungry Girl don't all live closer - can you imagine our dinner parties???? Now, to decide what to shop for this week so I can have a mega cooking weekend :)
hahaha i know how fun to all cook together although im not really good with other people in my kitchen unless they are doing what i say! hahaha i find shopping so scary and i always go in and tell my husband "im just getting essentials this week" and then come out with a buldging trolley and a $350 bill!!!!! but we eat well and im so relaxed and entertained when im cooking (when its not too hot!!!) where are you living?
65 friends.... flattered :)
you have some good home recipes, i hope they dont come out looking like tattoos, but all the same im sure they are fantastic, im going to surprise my wife with a few of them, do you like gordon ramsay? he is probably my favourite but my wife really loves nigellas recipes and she loves deserts and sweet things so i will use a few of yours, how long have you been on here for?
hahaha no they wont come out as bodyparts with pics on them, thats nice u want to surprise your wife im sure she will really appreciate that with study. i like gordon, a bit of a show pony but i think he ok, i actually prefer nigella too.. i have been here for a year or just over, had a bit of a break and now im adding all the things i have saved up, i like collecting all my recipes in a box and you can get really cute recipe boxes at woolies with index cards, sure your wife would love it if you got one of those and filled it up!!!! good luck with everything and i hope u do a good job for her :)
Hopefully 1 day I'll catch up in recipes with the rest of you all on this site
well some of us have been here quite a while now but you will, i have been pretty slack the last few months and plan to start adding like a crazy woman when i have time :)
you remind me of my self when you say you create all your own dishes based on tastes and very rarely use measurements, which is hard when converting for other people on this site.. cz that what happens exactly to me !!! Your diishes look very temting.. will let you know when i try any .. good luck
thanks huda, to u also :)
Ur AWESOME!!! :P
thanks love hehehe checkin out yours now....
Hey Mama have you ever been in any cooking comps???
no i havent but the urge is really starting to take over...... thinking about it all the time hehehe
hi ive just joined and i was looking at the popular members, i love your recipes but you should put more on here!!!!!! bella x anything caramel.......
will do soon, try the peanut butter cup cheesecake and add the caramel sauce as a topping....
I had that idiot leave a comment on my Big Mac so then I checked yours and sure enough, it was at the same time too. I reckon they were just bored kids or retards (can I say that!) thinking it was funny. It did tick me off though, so that was my equivalent of yellng at them.
hahahaha what morons.... get a life fools, its a sharing site!!! we can all share cant we???
Cooking Mama I hope you do not mind but I just checked out your other recipes I was SO IMPRESSED by your Maccas Big Mac & then I saw your No Bake Caramel Slice. At 26 you certainly show great talent, DO NOT be put off or upset by negative comments A lot of people do not like to see others do well. Go for your dream young lady. When I was 25, I became the 1st female to train as manager ( I had to wear the men's uniform) in SYRACUSE New York with the KFC corporation in USA that was in 1975, (certain legal issues got in the way unbeknown by KFC) I had to leave in a hurry BUT I know because of me we now have female managers in the food business (I went to N.Y. city & became a chef for a wealthy family in Park Ave & Sth Hampton ( I was paid under the table so to speak) Anyway I was touted & praised by many in the food industry & also offered work by a major movie star of the time but because of my illegal stature I had to come home. I am now 59 * I wish I could had stayed So GOOD luck
thank you so much, you have had some interesting adventures!!!! loved your story, thanks. i have so many hobbies other than cooking, im still in the stage where i dont know what to do as a career hehehe im cooking, doing art, photography, make up and learning to tattoo so i have a sctrambled egg brain at the moment hahahaha........
oh thanks xxxxx i was soooo excited to wake up to the postie with my surprise package, it was beautiful!!!!!!! xxxxx
Its great to see people with a passion to cook. For all of you that complain, every chef takes an original recipe and changes it to their own or most master chefs go to Europe and go to villages where they learn traditional recipes. Some learn from their grandpaprents. There is not one recipe that hasnt been done before. Now they just put twists to things and change names . So mama, i dont care what people say. I say dont hate, just enjoy the simple recipes. Mama if they are right change the ingredients by half a teaspoon ect. You have to watch for plagarism. But hey, I love cooking and my son is learning to use the internet and learning how to cook. Hes 12 so i like your recipes. I hope to maybe become a member of the month one day. Good on you for having the passion and the guts to do all this work. You are making people happy.
hi mama,i just join not long ago,awesome,your no bake carmel slice are great,we like it.
oh you made it? great, its a hit in my house too, my sister really loives it!
hi mama the recipes are great especially the no bake carmel slice, keep up the good work
yes thanks, i looooove the caramel slice but always remember to use the 2 cans of condensed milk, one is just too thin a layer of caramel..... it has to be real thick in my opinion :)
There's nothing better than learning people's favorite recipes as you know they'll be good and yours are rippers!
thankyou thats nice, im trying to add as many as i can in free time, i really have hundreds just sitting here ready to be typed so i have to get moving with it :)
Hey Congrats on your Member of the Month status! You've got some great recipes here!!

Hey Cooking Mama ... that choc walnut coffee cake looks divine! I've never cooked samosas before, but they look great too, will have to get out of my comfort zone and give them a crack!
the samosas are sooo yum, did u try them yet? i havent made them in a while cause ive really been off strong spices since i became pregnant but BRING ON MAY cant wait to get back to my old eating habits!!! hehehe
Feelings of lust in a cooking appliance store? May I suggest staying away from the rolling pins, or other appliances of similar shape that have a dual purpose :) I'm a fan tho, keep up the good work. What would you recommend for someone who is in the mood for an erotic meal?
hahaha maybe i would get in trouble if i wrote what i really want to say..... you will have to be imaginative with shapes of food and or fruit, theres no end of "erotic" creations.... choc dipped strawberries eaten in the bath are a fave on special occasions in our house :)
Hi Cooking Mama. your recipes are nice. You certainly have a passion for food.
yes i do, we all do on here.....

We had the pancetta wrapped chicken on Valentines Day, it was classy it looked like a restarant meal, my husband was impressed. ta.
I hope that the reason your recipe's aren't showing yet is because the moderator's are looking into why a person can have 14 fans overnight with only 1 recipe that has NOT even had 1 comment. YOU'RE TRYING TO SCAM THE SYSTEM. Please don't do this as it spoils the whole purpose of the site which is to share recipe's and learn different technique's of cooking from each other. It should not a popularity contest. Opinions should be unbiased and come from many other sources other than just your friends in real life.
i couldnt agree more, but its great i have so many fans. sorry that you are peeved about it. im also many peopes fan, and havent accused them of scammig, i wouldnt even know how, cant explain it. the recipes show up for me so???? id like an apology please...... your message was rude and uncircumstantial.
where are the recipes gone???? hahaha
