Maybe you should do a bit more cooking, and that will help the food writing. It's amazing how many food writers there are out there, who don't even know the basics.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with it all, and stay in touch. Professional cooking is mind-numbingly dull at times, but the good days are fantastic, and the buzz is like nothing else. <BR/><BR/>All the best!<BR/><BR/>LennieAlex Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17366709486870706027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609131527796792369.post-16681659784770165942009-03-04T16:32:00.000+00:002009-03-04T16:32:00.000+00:00Thanks Nicky!

I always intended to do *something* in the food industry and after growing up in a restaurant run by my mum and dad in london i had very little illusions about how much work when into it. after i got my A-Levels i went to Westminster-Kingsway to do their chef's diploma (they count among their allumni some unbearable smug TV chefs (Ainsly, Jamie, AWT) but the course was sound and built upon what skills i had already) but i ended up only completing a year before leaving for university. there were a number of reasons (a long distance girlfriend and being forced to live with my grandparents amoung them) but mostly it was the *boredom* i was prepared for the graft, but not how little brain work i'd have to put in. right now i'm in my second year at university, planning on doing my dissertaion in food writing and...something, possibly memoir but we'll see. there are still days i regret not sticking it out though, and i still have no idea what i actually want to do with my life, but time will tell i suppose, and as you yourself prove, it's never too late.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609131527796792369.post-83928706721923659262009-03-02T18:06:00.000+00:002009-03-02T18:06:00.000+00:00sushi! madness .... but somehow, inspired ....sushi! madness .... but somehow, inspired ....Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014546311920762759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609131527796792369.post-81664976243733743482009-02-23T01:44:00.000+00:002009-02-23T01:44:00.000+00:00Don't stop there!
