Food = Culinary Art

Many people around the world share a lot of similarities through food. Most of them have been inspired to cook from either a childhood memory, where their parents made something extraordinary, or at a restaurant where they ate something that they never forgot.

When I was young, my parents used to take me to my uncle’s fish market. That was when I was introduced to fresh fish eggs. I thought it was weird at first but he made me try it with some crabmeat sticks and rice (like a sushi roll). To my surprise, I was amazed by the texture and the taste of it. It’s weird right? Ever since that day, I started to appreciate every food I ate. I am always trying to figure what ingredients the chef’s put in the food and try to make my own version of it. I always have so much fun cooking and that is when I realized majoring in culinary arts is something I will love and succeed in.

You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic ! Finding an appropriate outfit can be intimidating, but with the help of Google it is possible. Second, the outfit you should wear is based on what type of position you are going for or what your potential company is.
