My First TIme!

My First Time!

Ola!

Most people do not quite clearly remember their first time. I will not lie, mine was very interesting. I could not really determine the mood of the party I was to provide my services for. I was scared that there would be that moment when you realise that the elephant in the room, is actually your failure to please.

My first time was in my friend's kitchen in Cape Town. The year.... Hmmm, I cannot remember. All I was certain of was that I was on point when it came to mastering the lowdown of going down.

In my nervous state, I decided that it would be in everyone's best interest if the presentation were left unwrapped. A little bareness has never hurt anybody.

So there I am, sweating, breathing heavily, feeling the heat... Oh the pressure to perform. With every five minute smoke break, came the questions 'what's going on in there... Are you alright'?. I had adopted a new sense of cockyness and simply respond with the words, Garde la peche, tienquet (Calm the f down, don't worry). After countless rounds of wondering whether or not I would one day regret this moment in my life, I pulled myself towards myself, sucked up my fear and fully engaged in serving my very first meal to a host of starving friends.

It was on this particular day that my passion for cooking was re-instilled and that I came to the realisation that my soul's happiness would entail my following one of my many dreams, of one day becoming a world renowned chef.

For those of you who do not already know me, I am a 21 year old Law student, currently living in Jozi-H. I have a secret passion for creating new ideas for new dishes and I decided to start sharing these with the world, because I am after all on the road to International status. I hope that you enjoy accompanying me on my journey to success and I can give you some food for thought and thoughts for food.

Looking forward to a lot of kitchen counter, hot plate action with you all..

Bisous tous les jours,
