If there is one thing that I have always been good at, it is cooking. I don't remember when I started to cook but I noticed my abilities as a young chef around the age of seven. I would sit with my mom and watch cooking shows and help her in the kitchen. These interactions with the culinary world greatly influenced me to want to pursue a career in the culinary arts.
