Where it began.
My love for food began the first time I could eat, as an infant, or at least that's where I believe I fell in love with food. However, I know when and where my love for the art of culinary began, it all started when I was a kid growing up in the 80's. I was fortunate enough to have lived with my grandmother whom was an extraordinarily gifted cook. She was a traditionalist in the ways of the Korean Cuisine. She could and would create dishes from the earth to the heaven's with Korean Culinary Delights. Her expertise in Korean food was limitless. Cooking, However, was simply not enough for her, she always painted our dining room table with the vast array of dishes she had created in the kitchen into a canvased masterpiece. Different size plates, different colored dishes, placed ever so meticulously as to create beauty. My love for the Art of Culinary comes from my beloved and dearly missed grandmother, Yon I. Kwok.

Hello my fellow inspiring chef. Thanks for allowing my to read your thoughts and allowing me to follow you. Well I think everyone s love for food was when we're born.

As you know I have some Chinese in me and for me its important to try and have sum knowledge of all type of food. I hope that you cook some korean food and bring me some and let me enjoy it .

ReplyDeleteI am happy to be able to read your post so that I can get a clearer understanding of what might drive you to be in the culinary field. I too turn to my early years for inspiration for creating my plates. Unlike you, I didnot pay attention to my mother when she preapared our meals. What I rely on is the memories of what might my mother have done. The memories that flash by are somewhat blurry but I focus on the steps that were taken, versus the ingredients used in the beginning stages. I also got my passion from my maternal figure, not my paternal figure. I believe you are deeply motivated by your grandmother, but you may want to give more examples of her notions and motions in the kitchen so that we can visualize you in wonderment at your early days in a kitchen. Braddah Gene on campus, by the way.
