• Teaching Cooking to Kids

  One of the things that my mother told me when I was a child is that when we discover our true talent, we should share it with the world.  She didn’t really explain how we should share it with the world, but the point was that we would find our own way.

  I knew early on that my calling was cooking.  After becoming a student at a school offering culinary arts degrees, I proceed to become a chef at one of the most prestigious restaurants in our city.  I loved the work and the reaction people had to the food that I prepared, but when I turned fifty, I knew that it was time to change the direction of my life.

  After much deliberation, I decided to setup a culinary education program for kids.  There seemed to be a need for such a thing, and I could blame a story in the newspaper for my inspiration.

  It was at this point that I realized that this was going to be the way that I was going to be able to share my talent with the world.  The opportunity to instill a love of cooking into kids growing up in a world of fast food and microwaveable meals is going to be a challenge, but I know that I am up for it.
