It has been almost a year since my last blog post. We all neglect things from time to time to focus on other areas of our lives, and writing has been the one thing I have put on the back burner that I long to return to. In updating my profile, I noticed that the "About Me" section of my profile is completely outdated. To get myself and all of you up to speed, I am updating my profile and copying the old one in this post.
Who I was:
I am a recent culinary school graduate residing in Seattle. I am amazed every day that I work on the line at a restaurant that is regarded very highly in the industry. It is competitive. The hours are long. The work is highly physical and emotionally taxing. This blog will dive into what I am learning in the kitchen, from ingredients and food preparation to working with others and realizations about myself. If you ever wondered about the reality of a romantic career, I am here to provide a glimpse. So far, it kind of resembles a collage of the worst day of my life, the best day of my life, from feeling defeated to feeling on top of the world. I wouldn't change a thing.
Well, perhaps I would change a thing or two, or all of it. But my purpose stays the same.
Who I am:
I love cooking food. I love eating food. I love what food does for us. It brings us together, creates a vessel to celebrate life, ourselves, each other, what can grow from the earth and how it can nourish us. I left the line this year to pursue my love for food on my terms. I was exhausted and under-nourished. These days I try to treat myself in the way I treat those I cook for.
