In this book, I share short stories or tales of true events surrounding my experience with cooking and food. Some of the stories are funny, and some are a bit more serious. From almost setting the kitchen on fire when I was learning to cook on the one hand to going on my first hunger strike on the other, when I felt strongly enough about an issue. Never give up when you are trying to learn something new, especially if you love it. Had I given up, I would not have learned to create special and tasty meals. I also love photography, and I share some of my favorite food shots with you as well. Anyone can succeed at whatever they want to do. Just find the motivation and keep trying.
