Half of the emails I get are ones pertaining to my cooking.. and I always have the most difficult time answering questions- like how I learned to cook or where I get recipes and so on.
I guess that cooking for me is my form of stress relief. I really only got into it at the end of 2006. I was going through a really super crappy time and it was my escape. It was the one thing I could do that didn’t require me to think about anything other than the task at hand. I discovered that I loved the art of cooking and also really loved the fact that other people got to enjoy my creations. A win win.
So I guess that’s all there is to it. I do it everyday because it makes me genuinely happy and fulfilled.
I get half of my recipes my my head and half from my favorite chefs like Neil Perry and Jean-Georges Vongerichten. They have some pretty amazing books.
