The Cook in Me

I could safely say that my desire to cook and create things in the kitchen started with me making pizzas (buying the pizza base) when I was in 5th standard (about 9 or 10). From there, I went to make several things, many of which were experimental. The best part was - my Mum allowed me to do basically whatever I wanted in the kitchen. For those who know women and their "rule" in their own kitchens, you'd know this is a great thing. For those who know my mum and her rule in her own kitchen, this is quite an unlikely probability. She was always there when I needed to ask quick questions about the recipes I was preparing, and unbelievably left me alone when I said "Okay, okay - now I'll cook." Without this "allowing me to cook", I wouldn't be the man with the desire or ability to cook today. Thanks, Mum.
