I grew up learning to cook from my mom. One of those guys who could cook better then most of the girls I’ve ever known (in fact a lot couldn’t even boil water…lol).

At any rate, I love cooking - it’s one of the ways I get rid of stress. There’s been times when I thought I’d make a career out of it, one being a bad idea when I was 17 and it involved the Navy. But I figured that like all my hobbies, it I turned it into a career I’d end up hating it. So I kept it as a hobby.

What I learned from my mom is that you only use a recipe as a reference or starting point. What I mean is, if you were to ask my mom how to make something that you happened to have for dinner one day, she’d tell you “Well I didn’t write it down”. Or you could always count on the it doesn’t taste like it did last time phenomenon. But I Love my mom, and her brand of cooking - and what kind of cook it turned me into, how else would we end up with such classics as green curry cottage cheese eggs.
