Chefs that I admire :)

Ina Garten :)

"In 1978, Ina Garten found herself working in the White House on nuclear energy policy and thinking, "There's got to be more to life than this!" She saw an ad for a small food store for sale in a place she'd never been: the Hamptons at the end of Long Island, New York. She and her husband drove up to investigate and made the owner an offer on the spot. Two months later she found herself the owner of Barefoot Contessa, a small specialty food shop. Twenty years later, Barefoot Contessa grew to a large food emporium where twenty cooks and bakers prepared the food. Twenty-five more employees worked in the store helping thousands of customers to choose breads, salads, dinners and baked goods to take home. In 1996, Ina sold the store to her employees. In 2003, the new owners of Barefoot Contessa decided to close their doors and go on to new adventures. In 1999, Ina wrote her first book, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, which was one of the best-selling cookbooks of the year. The book invites readers into her specialty food store and shares the recipes that made it such a success. Ina lives in East Hampton, New York with her husband Jeffrey, who is a professor at the Yale School of Management."

Some people really underestimate cullinary arts, or people who take that particular course. For me, courses in this world, no matter how glamorous it sounds like, no matter how much it pays you, in the end it's all about you waking up everyday doing the same thing. What is your passion, what is that thing that fills your life, fills your soul with happiness and satisfaction. There is more to life than just money and big careers. It's about doing something that you're passionate about. Ina Garten used to work in a white house, got all her fancy degrees. She's a genius, but she realised that what she's been doing wasn't what she wanted to do. It's okay to make mistakes in life but get yourself back in track before its too late for you. Do something that you love, not what your parents wants you to do. Do something that you love, not what you think pays you good. And never underestimate those who wants to take something that doesn't have anything to do with science, that is something only uneducated people would think of.

Giada De Laurentiis :)

"Giada De Laurentiis has an impressive background of culinary training and a unique, personable charm. She continues to prove her skill and accessibility not only with her expanding presence beyond Food Network but also with the great success of her cookbooks, brand alliances, newly launched food products and recurring role on morning news programmes. Born in Rome, Giada grew up in a large Italian family where the culture of food was a staple in and of itself. As the granddaughter of film producer Dino De Laurentiis, Giada consistently found herself in the kitchen and spent a great deal of time at the restaurant of her grandfather. After graduating from university, her passion for cooking remained. She eventually made the decision to commence professional training at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. She subsequently returned to Los Angeles, where her training included positions at the prestigious Ritz Carlton Fine Dining Room and Spago in Beverly Hills. She later founded GDL Foods, a catering company in Los Angeles."

I wanna go to Le Cordon Bleu, Paris. It's the top school of cullinary arts! I hateee heeer. She's such a bubbly and happy person. I wanna be like her. Always happy and bubbly and outgoing, and at the same time has gone thru hard times. Le Cordon Bleu is a very tough school, it really teaches you the complete skills of cullinary arts. It is also very expensive, very very very expensive. People that became chefs after learning there, they're just indescribable. Tough as a rock, but Giada, shes different. She's tough and bubbly at the same time. <3
