Marco Pierre White, mentor to Mario Batali, Anthony Bourdain & Gordon Ramsay However, my love and passion for cooking, love and life has led me to the 3 great master chefs that I admire, and in my own little way, try to emulate.
Mario Batali, Anthony Bourdain, and Gordon Ramsay.
Do you notice the pattern here?
Simply, It's ROCK & ROLL!
In a past life, I lived as a rockstar. I didn't sleep, rocked all night and smoked herbs that your grandmother didn't use in the kitchen.
But as I grew older, I realized that this lifestyle was not for me and tried integrating myself once more into the flock of society.
It didn't take long before I puked myself out of the farm, I was the wolf in sheep's clothing.
I was a rebel, a creative unwilling to wear a leash and sniff the arse of power. I was also living alone, and had to learn to cook, as a way of taking care of myself.
But then I fell in love, as we often do, and my heart and love was something for keeps, something you don't let go, something special, something, for life.
I never saw my father cooking in the kitchen aside from the fried eggs and hotdogs for breakfast. It was always Mom who made the special stuff, doing her best for us during the holidays.
But back to me, I started cooking for serious this year. Learning to cut, learning to sniff out the best produce, I seriously considered cooking this year.
Why?
I was given the chance to prepare dinner, sometimes lunch, for my love. It's all complicated , but hey, at the end of the day, I was the only one left at home to prep dinner so I had to hone my skills, fast.
This is where I got the inspiration to do this blog. Cook for my heart, my love my sweet of all sweets. 100 dishes. the number is not the be all and end all, but just a short measure.
And in the end, if i get her back, we both would've partaken at least of the best 100 meals I have made for her.
