About

Hi! I’m Ally and welcome to hookedontaste.

I started hookedontatse in July of 2010.  I started this blog for many reasons.  I wanted to document all the recipes I adapted and the ones I created.  I guess you can say that this blog is like a recipe journal.  I love cooking and sharing food with others, so that’s when I realized that I should start a food blog.

I have no culinary school experience but I would like to considered myself a self taught cook.  As a foodie, I love finding innovative recipes and trying new foods.    My love for cooking has grown over the years.  This is my journal and I want to share it with people who share the same passion as me.

Fun Facts About Me

Foods I like: I like chocolate, peanut butter, raspberries, bacon, peaches, pears, dried cranberries, yogurt, granola bars, and the list goes on.

Least favorite foods:  I despise eggs.  To clarify that more, I can’t stand poached, scrabbled and fried eggs.  I probably ate too many eggs as kid and it’s probably why I don’t like them.  So if you are wondering why you don’t see any egg recipes, now you know.  Most American’s love eggs, so I feel out of the loop and maybe feel a little weird.

When I started to cook:  I don’t know the exact age, but I know I was young.  My mom taught me how to measure things and from there I started to cook.  Looking back when I started cooking is funny because I came along way.

My must have cooking equipment:  A good pan, a sharp knife, microplane grater, food processor, and a cake stand mixer/ hand mixer.
