Describe your cooking or baking ability. What was the last thing you cooked/baked that you we’re proud of? Are you a recipe-follower or freestyler?

I am an average cook. I don't tend to bake too much, but I did quite a bit for Christmas last year. I made an awesome fudge which I gave to my cousins and their families as well as a couple of neighbours that had been super helpful with all the snow shoveling and my team at school. I also made up Christmas cookies and made up tins of goodies for about 7, including my client and his mother.

I don't cook as often as I used to. My mother and I take turns making dinner, but she tends to start the meals before I do, so she often does more than I do, but we also have many nights of fending for ourselves and eating left overs.

As for following recipes or being a freestyler - I tend to stick to the recipe, particularly when baking. With cooking I will experiment at times. I used to have to make everything just as it was when I was married, but now that I don't have that restriction, I play around with ingredients and dishes.
