13th May, 2009 - Mmmmm! Tasty!

I was chatting to my dad at the hospital about an acquaintance of his who is a junior chef. He has got a bit fed up recently of cooking pub grub, and decided to go for an interview in a kitchen run by a chef with a Michelin star. You know – one of these artists, with flair and drive, who strives for perfection with every stir of his spoon. A man whose life is food and his kitchen. A man who wakes in the morning, his head brimming with flavours and ingredients and ideas.

I suspect that the correct answer to a guy like that when asked: “How do you feel about cooking?” iis not “I have lost my passion for it.”
