RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am originally from Moscow, Russia but I currently live in Clemson, SC and attend Clemson University. If I was not majoring in microbiology i'd be cooking all the time. I LOVE cooking but I don't think I'd ever want to go to culinary school because I treat recipes as "guidelines" versus actual instructions.
