People have been telling me for a long time that I should open a restaurant. A couple of people came so close to developing a business plan for me! I did open a restaurant in my home for a fundraising cause over ten years ago and came to learn that I did not like mass production. It takes the true thrill out of cooking. Bulk food shopping becomes the norm. If I did the actual restaurant business, I may have to succumb to using Sysco products. Nah. I once asked a successful caterer him if he ever cooked at home. He does not because it became his job and at the end of day, he wanted someone to cook for him. I did not want that to happen to me. After a temporary stint with a catering company, I came to discover that the desire to 'color outside the lines' diminishes quickly. It boiled down to satisfying the clients rather than the chef's desires to go into unexplored territories.
Friends suggested that I become a food critic. And give up the day job I love? Nah. Besides, I would have to butter up to get published. The world of blogging has appealed to me for a while because practically anyone can be published. I did not know what to blog about. I am private. Aha... dining and cooking. I have found a common ground with my audience (assuming they love food which covers pretty much everyone? *a hopeful look*).
So here's GastroNaomi who is eager to share her culinary and dining adventures with you! Read on while cooking and dining with passion.
