Hi, team! I’m back with episode 2 of everyone’s least favorite cooking show, Cooking TragicLee.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, February’s edition of Cooking TragicLee is based off of literature’s greatest love story, Romeo and Juliet Twilight! Armed with a recipe (and t-shirt!) provided by Alix, World’s Greatest Pen Pal and resident pâtissière, I set out to recreate the mushroom ravioli Bella orders on her first date with Edward. Unlike their super unhealthy relationship, things for me did not go so well.

Ravi- oh, Lee…

On the bright side, my ravioli sure was sparkly! That’s because Alix also thoughtfully supplied me with Disco Dust – edible glitter that renders your food as sparkly as a vampire in the daylight! I highly recommend this product for pretty much every cooking adventure you embark on, given that you’re okay with your meal having a decidedly sandy texture.

Anyway, go pour yourself a cocktail (you’re going to need it to get through this video) and enjoy this month’s episode!
