RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a 15 year old high school student from Brisbane, Australia. I developed my passion for cooking for others about two years ago and since then have progressed from simply following instructions on the side of a box to cooking fancy meals my whole family can enjoy. I tend to put my own twists on any recipe to create something that is orginal and love nothing more than seeing the food i cook being enjoyed by others. I love music, sport, do hip-hop dancing and take any chance i can to go to the beach.
