Background Information

For four years I was away at University, partying my face off, loving life, and cooking for all my wonderfully appreciative friends.  I double majored in Anthropology and Sociology at McGill in downtown Montreal, and, like a lot of young adults of my generation, never truly felt enthralled or inspired by my studies.  While I enjoyed anthropology as an academic endeavor, the thought of pursuing it - going to grad school, etc - was not at the top of my list of things I wanted to do in my near future.  My Dad, having followed his dream of becoming a film producer, and my Mom, having pursued a career in publishing, are both strong proponents of the "follow your dreams, do what you love" motto.  As a result, I have followed suit.  Having cooked for years, and having developed an ever-increasing passion for the art of food preparation, I have, as of September 2009, embarked on my journey to become a chef.  Enrolled in the Culinary Management Program at George Brown in Toronto, I hope to master my culinary skills and open doors to a multitude of career possibilities.  This blog will be a diary of sorts, an outlet wherein I can document my experiences throughout this first leg of my journey.
