The Holy Trinity

I’m back after weeks of erratic skeds from work and the fully booked Artist Chef Intimate Dinner this Valentine's month. Well I’m writing this blog because I feel that it is important for people to know who are my inspirations in my cooking. A lot of people say that I cook so well and they wonder if I am a product of the Culinary Schools that are popping like mushrooms nowadays. I proudly tell them that maybe that’s my gift from the Almighty. It’s like a calling that I have to pursue, a mission that has to be done. I believe that if I will further enhance this gift by going to a culinary school--I know the Almighty will take my life farther. All my life my passion is cooking and the arts. It’s my innate passion. I don't have to work so hard at it--it’s something that comes from within me. Since I was 10 years old I've dreamed of the day when everything will fall into place--I’d be an Art Director, a Painter and a Chef. True enough, one by one, I can see the road that will lead me towards that dream. In the meantime I take care of the gift I have especially my cooking. My cooking method is not restricted. I adapt techniques and styles from Chefs around the world. I research every step of the way and I can easily give life to my research by applying them in my cooking. This blog is dedicated to these 3 Chefs whom I consider the Holy Trinity of Cooking: Jamie Oliver, Ferran Adria and Anthony Bourdain. To explain why I admire them, I think I need to write a separate blog for each.
