I've been cooking for a long time.....since I could barely see over the kitchen counter. And I've been eating for even longer.
I love food. It's never far from my mind, or mouth, for that matter. Most of what I cook, people really enjoy. But honestly, I think one of my most precious gifts is my discerning palette. I'm good at knowing what's good. And I don't think everyone is.
After way more years than I care to talk about, I've left corporate America in pursuit of my life's passion....food, cooking and baking. Three weeks ago, at 40+ years old, I started Culinary School at Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena, CA. There, I am studying Baking and Patisserie. I'm learning the WHY behind the HOW, and it's awesome.
I'm not quite sure where this journey will lead, but the road should be very fun, filling and fulfilling. Care to join me?
The Accidental Baker
Hey Kim,
ReplyDeleteYou know you have actually inspired me. After reading all of your yummy dishes, I actually am beginning to see how great cooking does not have to be hard. This weekend, I made some chili and decided to put a little scorch on some chopped tomatoes that I added to the chile--it was marvelous. I also grilled some jalepeno peppers to go with a steak and jasmine rice.
So, that about does it for my cooking for month.
dear "accidental baker,"
ReplyDeletefinally!... the blog has arrived. you are far from just an "accidental baker." you have a gift. a passion. a "discerning palette" (like you mentioned). an infectious love for food. and just a raw talent for it all.
