Inspiration nowadays seems hard to find for many people, myself included. Like most people in the economy today, you work to survive rather then doing work you love. Unlike most people though, I was able to go after my dream and accomplished my goal in May 2012. I graduated from Le Cordon Bleu here in Orlando with my Associates Degree in Culinary. Being in school and going after my dream made me realize I could do anything I set my mind to do.
Upon graduating, I started working in a restaurant. Even though I loved the people I worked with and gained a lot of expierience, I learned it was not the road I wanted to go down. I hated being "behind the scenes". I've always enjoyed the more personal expierience of cooking for someone and seeing or hearing their reactions. With that, I decided the best route for me would be catering/private chef. Although the food truck thing would be great also. The great thing about this profession is it can take you anywhere in life!
On my time off from my office job, I like to read new recipes and watch cooking shows for ideas and new things to try. When I read or see something my brain starts to recreate it. I use these things to inspire me. Sometimes my ideas are great and sometimes they're flops. If I can get my son & boyfriend (who both are the PICKIEST people I know) to eat it, then I know its good. I figured starting this blog would be a great way to share my love of food and recipes that were "winners". Hopefully you try some and let me know what you think!
