My hobby is cooking, it's my passion. I am constantly cooking, it's my excuse to get away from everyone and everything: it's just me and the kitchen.
I started cooking when I was seven, that's when I made my first omelette. I actually started cooking at a young age because I have always loved food and I liked to watch my mom and my maids cooking.
I always found cooking interesting and I can't quite explain why . I cook in my kitchen at my house , you may not believe it but I use the kitchen more than my mom. When there's an opportunity at somebody's house I cook there or just make coffee. When I feel like baking cupcakes or extraordinary sweet treats I go to my aunt's house, we're cooking buddies.
The equipment changes from dish to dish, for example to cut meat I use a butcher knife , to cut the fish I use big knife and so on. I also wear an apron to protect my self from steaming hot oil and to keep my clothes clean.
I enjoy cooking because, like I said, it's interesting, it's fun, it's kind of magical. I can decorate the dish the way I want and I get a sense of satisfaction in the end.
I can't really describe cooking , for me it's art. I feel like Picasso or Mozart when I'm cooking.
