My interest towards a career in culinary arts I credit to my need to create and perfect with every chance I get. I started cooking as a way to distract myself from my outside reality that was growing up in a very dangerous part of South Central Los Angeles, there were very limited resources for career readiness given to me throughout my life until I got to high school and became obsessed with my cooking class. I was 16 at the time and while my friends were out playing sports and going to social events, all I wanted to do was learn new techniques and experiment with recipes. When I turned 17, while a senior in high school, I decided that I did not want to attend university for the simple fact that I did not find anything but cooking to be exhilarating …show more content…
I recall working with one chef in particular that really lit a fire inside of me. He was a very passionate but extremely aggressive chef. I had been working with this chef for only a week when he told me that I should consider another career because I did not care or know enough. I took what he said to heart and made it a mission to really prove him wrong. I began working as hard as I could, dedicating every minute of my day to cooking and to learning something new. I was determined to hold my own in a kitchen of veterans and to gain the respect of this chef. I worked with this man for a year and even though he was extremely tough on me, he raised my talents to a completely new level. I was working so much on my craft that eventually he began giving me assignments that were usually reserved for the higher level chefs. It was an honor for a chef that thought so little of me in the beginning to invest time into making me somebody he wanted to work one-on-one
I always wanted to be a chef. Waking up to know that I will be surrounded by
Growing up as a little boy I’ve always wanted to become a culinary arts top chief. That’s because I’ve been in the kitchen helping/working with my mother preparing a lot of different meals, and I found that really enjoyable that I can cook. I think that cooking/culinary arts would be a good career for me because I enjoy being in the kitchen and learning new thing about what’s in the kitchen. Another things is that I think I would be able to grow up and be able to teach other students in culinary what I’ve learned and what I’ve been taught in the culinary arts classroom.
One of the chefs I identify is chef Francisco. He owns the restaurant La Cocina de Gabby. One of the struggles he had to go to was trying to provide for his family. And the one thing that stood out was when he was trying to fight for his house. And he said “ I will fight for my house and if they try to take it, I will keep fighting.” the reason I pick him was because struggles. Some of his struggles are hard to accomplish. But the one thing he does is he keeps trying. But everyone has a struggle. Some are hard to accomplish and some are easy. One of my struggles was when I was little, but I still find it a struggle to this day. The struggle was about my family. Mostly about my parents. And I know some people have bigger struggles, but this struggle in particular made me love cooking.
Ever since I was little, I enjoyed being in the kitchen with my mom, dad and other family members. As long as I can remember, I was always there, trying to help out in whatever I could and what my family members would let me. When I was eight, I baked my first batch of chocolate chip cookies and ever since then I developed a passion and dedication for baking that has helped to teach many
time, I quickly became head chef and competed in our school’s Aramark cooking competition, where my
The Making of a Chef was a fascinating book that alternated my perspective on cooking giving me a clearer view of working through a culinary program. Michael Ruhlman gave readers a glimpse of life within the Culinary Institute of America, which is the most critical culinary school in the United States. Nothing is left to instinct or assumed information, everything is shown whether it is with culinary maths or precisely how you lay out unresolved issues for the ideal stock. Everything was just striven to be excellent, not good, nor O.K., but miraculously perfect.
Many people inspired me to become a chef based off of food network shows I’ve watched over the years and continue to watch till this day. There are many names to name but I will only name a few of those people. One chef in particular I received my inspiration from to become a chef is Bobby Flay. Bobby inspires me every day with his work ethic that he shows as a chef to create dishes in his many busy restaurant’s that he has across the globe. I already had a great work ethic but Bobby improved more for me so I can become a better person and a better chef with the hard work it takes to run a business. He also shows ways in cooking everyday things in many unique ways that other chefs cannot do. That showed me that no matter what everyone else

When I went to high school my passion for cooking was still strong, I started baking birthday cakes for my friends and
From a young age, I have always wanted to know how and why the things around me work. Science was one of my more well-liked subjects throughout my schooling years. I am able to excel in these subjects because I have developed a strong interest in them and I enjoy the process of learning new things. I have always wanted to go to university to study a science-based subject. While browsing through the variety of courses available in your university, I came across "Food Science" and it caught my attention. That was when I knew it would be the right course for me.
Through these programs I have been able to work with the chefs and I love how they are more than willing to go above and beyond to make sure that we are able to widely succeed in the culinary industry, they are also very honest with you and tell you all of the good and the bad about the industry. Through my high school Culinary teacher, Brandi Eades who attended Jefferson State Community College's Culinary program- and loved it!- I was able to learn about and participate in all of the wonderful programs that they have to offer for high school students. I was also able to compete in the Prostart competition on a small team consisting of me and another student where we placed sixth for the state, and all throughout the day chefs that I have worked with wished me good luck and asked me how did we do and they continuously go above and beyond to help with whatever I
Culinary art is a momentous part of my life.When I was around the age of nine I was living with both my mom and dad. I was always in the kitchen helping my mom cook dinner. I made baked ziti, empanadas, sweet potato pie, and other foods.When I was in high school, I lived with my father,and after my older siblings grew up it was just me and my little sister so I was responsible for cooking the meals. I was cooking for my family an average of seven days a week and I was never tired or bored, I enjoyed it. I developed a strong passion for culinary arts. I am passionate about it because it excites me, inspires me, and encourages me to open a restaurant.
I am studying for culinary arts. Which means I want a career in food or hospitality. My love of cooking would be my job. Which is something that a lot of people dream about.Most are afraid of chasing their dream job, but I am not.I have wanted to do the same thing since i was 11 years old.As long as I have a job in this kind of field, I can never be sad or angry.This is what I want to do and that’s what I will do. Culinary arts will live on forever, no one will ever stop eating.It’s only getting bigger as an industry.
I’ve always had a passion for cooking. When I was a little girl I loved to cook and enjoyed learning about all sort of cuisines. Today, I am still in the kitchen and every chance I get, I cook. Some days it isn’t even fancy or a hard recipe. Some days it’s a classic, but something that I’ve created. Cooking is my time to be me. It’s the “art form” I pride myself at being good at and I don’t have to try (unlike drawing…not so good at that!). Like a child getting a new toy, I get excited when I discover new foods and ingredients. My mind feels “at home” when it’s in the process of creating in the kitchen. It’s fun getting the ingredients, piling them all on the counter, then chopping, stirring, adding a pinch of this and a splash of that. Then I have to wait for everything to cook. Finally the reward of my creativity is taken out of the oven and placed on a plate. The creative work I’ve done is fully realized when I can share my work with others.
It is my dream to become a registered dietitian. Ever since I was a child, I always had an interest in nutrition. The idea of being healthy and adopting healthy lifestyles inspired me to elect the career path of a dietitian. I truly believe that becoming a dietitian will not only help the community I serve, but it will also help me as a person and professional. I want to help spread the healthy eating message to people. If people knew just a portion of everything I will be learning in this career, people will realize how much nutrition and fitness impact the lifestyle one practices.
