Introduction To My Dreams

I never really was a food lover when I was younger. Didn't eat certain things that I probably should have. However, I was 12 when I realized my dream career. I was an innocent pre-teen sitting on the couch watching TV. Then that one channel. . .changed my WHOLE life. That channel was Food Network. I love watching how Alton Brown used science; how Rachel Ray made meals quick and easy; how Ina Garten loved to entertain on Barefoot Contessa. It gave me a good feeling inside, and I decided then and there. . .that my heart belonged to cooking great meals for great people. I decided that I want to be a chef and own my own restaurant down in San Diego, on the beach(one of my favorite places).

After I discovered my dream, I started learning how to cook. My mom taught me how too make scrambled eggs. She always said, "Amaya. . .when it comes to cooking, you have to take one step at a time. That way you produce quality in every meal." And sure enough, she was right. As I grown older, I started branching out more and more into food. Now, I make full breakfasts' and dinners on my own. An even though I'm not a big fan of baking, I still practice the skill. Cooking has always been a release for me. I'm kind of glad I picked that day to watch what I'll do the rest of my life. . .
