In this industry, you can either settle for less or strive to be better. In Achatz’s case, he pushed himself to do more and the end results were outstanding. From working for his parents restaurant, to the opening of his first restaurant, he never doubted himself. Grant Achatz, is the only American chef to master the art of Molecular Gastronomy. People sought after progressive cuisine to at least experience it once. This family man and cancer survivor is a prime example of heroism.…

We have explored a variety of writing styles with food as the central theme throughout. My first essay was an ode to steak, which took you through all the senses from the hint of smell to the first savory bite. The second essay was a deconstruction of meatballs and how my first true cooking experience came about. Next was an essay on the adventures of Chinese cuisine and the garlic phenomenon. The last essay was to capture and critique a moment shared with lobster. I am proud of all my essays. If I must choose a favorite; then I select “No Ordinary Meatballs”. The essays on steak, Chinese cuisine, and lobster were all experience-based accounts. These were unique accounts, which were sought out, in one form or another. However, my meatballs…
Being in culinary there are several ways that you can go living your life through food. The average chef now is much…
Food throughout history has adapted to the needs of an evolving population. Traditions have been upheld from generation to generation, but the passing of time has subjected these traditions to modernization. Just as any art, the culinary field is open to creative interpretation. Cultural anthropologist Richard Wilk stated, “All food is creative in some way; and grounded in the past in other ways (194).” Modern food is inspired by tradition, yet driven by the resources and ideas of the current period.…
Imagine being in the kitchen and cooking a special dish with one of your family members. Being with your friends and family while making food can be a special moment that you won't forget, and after you taste it it'll make you want to chef it up again! Cooking and food are important in people's lives because they are memorable traditions when a special event is to occur, or just whenever a meal is needed to be made. Food is significant in people's lives because it represents character, personality, and love.…
I chose to interview a neighbor that is also a good friend, Mr. Javier Gonzales. Javier is well known in our community for his compassionate heart and famous food. He works two separate jobs within the food industry. During the week, he works as the main cook for a hotel and on the weekends, he works as the head cook for a senior living community. Javier is 54 years old, he grew up in Juarez, Mexico and he is the sole provider for his household. His face lights up when I ask him what drew him to cooking in the first place. He responds, “I have a passion for food and making other’s happy. I feel I can do that through my love of food, by providing them with something good to eat.”…
Food has always been something I enjoyed and looked forward to at any event or occasion. Each dish I ever encounter always finds a way into my heart. Over the years as I indulge in the consistent, irresistible tastes of food, I am always reminded of where my love for food originated. As I scroll back in time to find where this unknown passion for food sparked, I am always taken back to my grandmother’s Thanksgiving meal. This meal has shown me what it means to be comforted and to feel a sense of well-being. Even though every thanksgiving meal is the same, the meal is always like a gift to me that I can’t wait to open. Never have I ever felt this way about food. With this meal I have learned so much about myself and I have shared many memories.…
Since I was little my family has always made school seem like a must. It has always seemed as if there is really no other option to be successful and live the way you want unless you go to school and find some type of magnificent job. My mother, father, and step mother have all gone to school and gotten degrees and are living the lives that they've wanted to live. Others in my family who have not gone to school have all been examples of what I do not want to be. Some of them can’t live on their own, they are in and out of jobs, and just about all of them are going down a path that is only getting worse. Therefore in my eyes, I had no choice.…
I have a boundless love for food and my family shares this love. Hopping from restaurant to restaurant, trying whatever catches our eyes, also catches quite a few stares. Sitting down in a Chinese restaurant draws the questionable looks of others. Most of the time, while the food is arriving, the waitress asks in broken English, while motioning to my siblings, my mom, and I , “Are chopsticks ok, would a fork be better?” or “Is that going to be too spicy?” Quickly shaking our heads, we turn back towards our meal and engulf the food in front of us while using chopsticks with ease. Our love of food never stops and no matter where I go, I always try different dishes because it is a part of who I…
Cooking something yourself, either if it’s for yourself or others, gives the reward and satisfaction of accomplishment. However, these days it’s so much easier to go out to eat or run through the drive through. I’m seeing more and more younger kids growing up without the skills of cooking that has been passed down from generation to generation. We have grown away from bonding as a family by everyone eating at the dinner table at night. We have come more and more accustomed to just grabbing our plate and sitting down in front of the T.V. instead of interacting with the ones around…
Although music has been my main passion, I have always been interested in cooking with both my grandma and my mom. They both are outstanding chefs and I love to learn how they assemble recipes, combine courses, and delight their guests with delicious and beautiful food. Sometimes I even bake cookies and cakes, and bring them to the retirement home where I play the flute to…
There are probably millions of people ask these question every day. In fact, all of us tend to forget the answer of these question because of different problems we are facing today. We exist because we have different purpose in our life and it’s important to know the purpose why God created us.…
Then I can be be artistic about cooking. To be real, I have no real artistic talent when it comes to drawing, painting or other things involve art. However, in the kitchen, I can use a variety of ingredients that add color and make the meals look as good as they taste. Also I can different kind of goods mix together to make my own original dish, but usually the original ones are Chinese food, sometimes I mix pasta with shrimps or broccoli once, those taste pretty well. And after I done, I can post my dishes online or bring to school to share with friends, it help to bond with my friends..…
