SARU’s Cooking Biography

Hi Readers,

My name is SARU and the purpose of this writing is to knowledge you the reader a bit about myself.

I was born and raised in Toronto which is a food loving city. At 16, I got my first job flipping burgers at “hero certified burger”. On my first day, I told myself I will never go back but later my family convinced me to try it again. I loved working there after that day, and that was my first step into the food world. My peers tell me that the food industry is hard and boring, but I find it to be fun and worth while. After that job, I continued to work at more eateries that focused on healthier eating and fresher produce. I went straight into business school at Ryerson after graduating high school, but later found out it wasn’t for me. Instead of completely dropping out, I transferred into hospitality and tourism management. The program spoke about restaurant and hotel skills, and the courses were very enjoyable.  It later dawned on me that the restaurant part was fun but not the hotel aspect, so the decision was made to focus 100% on restaurant education. My parents weren’t really impressed at the idea of culinary school, but with my persuasive talking convinced them to let me go.

Personal Philosophy on Cooking

I personally believe cooking is a way for one to express their feelings and creativity through food. My personal beliefs on cooking is that it should be simple and basic with very little human intervention. I believe that the fruits and vegetable found on the planet is full of flavour and taste. To preserve the beautiful taste the chef should focus on natural whole foods and discover ways to bring more aroma/taste out of the fruit/vegetable. The dish should look simple and basic, and taste very simple, but have a taste that can could only be brought out by the nature of the food. I also believe in very small portioning and not filling your belly. This is because the more full you are the less attention you place on the food.

Culinary Institute Quotes, from http://www.quotehd.com/quotes/culinary-institute-quote-a-chef-cant-hide-behind-the-kitchen-door

Another philosophy of mines is that a good chef is able to talk to customers and employees. They should be able to treat their customer just like their food. You can make amazing food but if you can’t educate it your customer, then they wont truly value the dish.

My Favourite Blog

      I really like this blog because it share recipes that focus on healthy eating and shares lots of vegetarian recipe. I also like the fact that the blog is very visual; has more pictures than words. The blog is also simple and basic with a lot of white space, the way I prefer it. Something that could be done better is having better photographed pictures, as I believe the blog lacks creatively taken picture as most the pictures look like it been taken in the same angle.
