If There’s a Whisk There’s a Way
Take it from someone who can live and die for food ,We know everybody loves food , we
haven’t found anyone who hasn’t but cooking food for me is the connection of heart , soul and your
thoughts and that is where it all comes down . Standing in front of the range and tossing it like I mean
it is food for my soul.
I think that one of the reasons
that I first fell in-love with cooking was that food is the universal love
language. No matter who you are, you need food to live. It transcends cultures
and language barriers: everyone, anywhere, eats. And everyone loves nice
tasting food, so we all flock to it.
It all
started back in my Grandmothers kitchen , a small yet bright place where world’s
best recipes were created was where I held knife in my hand for the first time ,where I started to roll dough for the first
time , where I realized that a pinch of salt is all it takes Passion is about zeal &enthusiasm
, that one thing that never lets you give up , never lets you back down that
one that gets you moving from the toughest of time to make you the strongest you can .
I feel joining Culinary Academy of India was my one of star steps to
turn my passion into my paycheck. Surrounded by Culinary enthusiasts , exotic
ingredients , ranges that keeps you on heat and feet all the time and chopping
till your hands fall off that is the commitment taught and lesson learnt here,
A college especially built for a culinary passionate .
I did my industrial training in The Oberoi , New Delhi and
there I realized the real pressure that a Chef goes through when time is
constrained and world class food needs to served just right ,the precision and
technicalities and above all mastering the basics just paves your way to the
ladder of success.Working under constant pressure to deliver the food fast
without sacrificing quality throughout the process, standing on your feet for
long hours, burns, heavy lifting, noise, heat, smokes and fumes, working on
evenings, weekends and holidays and almost anytime when the rest of the world
is not working are just a few of the things you must go through as a chef ,
here with passion comes hard work and dedication.
Cooking for me is a blend of art and science and
understanding your food is the key , I have seen a hundred chef cooking and very few making a difference
between an ordinary and a mouth watering one
may be that’s what makes me passionate too!I find something very
soothing about cooking and
preparing a meal at the end of a busy day above all, it is the love
for the people you feed everyday ; your family and friends ‘ relatives and
guests ‘ the people that matter to you the most .
So,
I would like to say if you cant handle
the heat go clean the walkin
because
PASSION. ENTHUSIASM & BUTTER is all it takes – Do you
think you ‘ve got what it takes ?
