"I was 32 when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate." -- Julia Child

It's no secret that I love watching the Food Network. Something about watching people create things with a little bit of this and a little bit of that amazes me. And since seeing Ratatouille, my love for food and cooking has propelled itself onto a whole other level. I'm eager to cook, try out recipes I've been harboring, and just have fun! What I love about cooking is that it's this perfect blend of art and science. In my head, I have Julia Child and Alton Brown together: a little bit of French cuisine and some molecular gastronomy. I can see it now, in my kitchen, cooking with beautiful copper pots and pans... and some graduated cylinders.

I take Gusteau's philosophy at heart: anyone can cook. I'm still learning the ways of the kitchen and just starting to get fancy with the spices. My hope is that one day I'll be able to create my own nutty creations with a little bit of this and little bit of that. As Julia Child says, "Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it." I will, Ms. Child, I will.
