My name is Graeme. I'm 22 years old and have been working in the industry for about 5 years. I've worked at a catering business, a few restaurants and a butcher shop with various jobs from dishwasher, to sausage maker to running the dinner line in a cajun-themed restaurant. I want to be a chef because there are few things that make me happier than making food for others. It's such an integral part of our lives. Most people eat multiple times a day. They eat to celebrate special occasions or to reconnect with old friends. Food is also a window into other cultures, and cooking is a way to express your personality and past experiences (without having to use words most of the time). My philosophy of cooking is that if you put in the effort to create the best product that you possibly can with your skills, product and tools available to you, there will always be something to be proud of at the end of the day. You get what you give. If you put no effort or pride into what you make, there's a good chance that the end result will be equally disappointing.
Food should be fun. - Thomas Keller

I personally don't like blogs for the most part but I guess it's time to give it a shot. Maybe I'll learn something about myself. Who knows? Favourite food blog though? www.thugkitchen.com/ It's been a favourite of mine for a while. Rough around the edges, fun, and the food is almost always awesome.
