The Cook

Hello! The Curious Cook here! Welcome to my kitchen adventures! 

I picked this name because I do not, by any means, consider myself to have any raw talent when it comes to preparing food. Instead, I am simply fascinated by food and desire to deepen my relationship with it. I believe that food is of paramount importance beyond serving the purpose as basic sustenance. Food engenders childhood memories, cultural traditions and emotions. It is a daily ritual that all humans have in common, creating conversational foundations for strangers to become better acquainted and reasons for old friends to congregate. For me, cooking is a way to expand the limits of my palate, knowledge, and imagination. With a background in food and nutritional sciences, I am fascinated by a food's origin and journey into global cuisine. My kitchen has become my three dimensional canvas where I can mix, puree, caramelize, and scramble up curious combinations of raw ingredients into tasty edibles. This blog is intended to record and reflect upon my culinary experiences during my journey to becoming a curious chef.
