I'm a busy student and in my free time I relax best when I cook. It doesn't matter if it is for family lunch, romantic dinner for my boyfriend and me or just a quick morning breakfast.
Besides cooking I enjoy reading-mostly fantasy novels.
I started cooking when I was very little. My biggest masterpieces at age of seven were fried eggs, which occasionally ended up on the floor instead in the pan. But practice makes perfect. At least concerning fried eggs :)
