Rfriend's intro

[Rfriend]

Hello one and all,

I am a college student (computer science major) working on my second carear. In my quest for an education, I tripped over some culinary courses and they looked mighty interesting. So I took a few.

If you can believe it, I actually have done very little cooking previous to this. I actually thought getting the time correct on the microwave was an expeirnced culinary technique and could push the start button with the best of them.

Then I got a taste of education. Wow! What an eye opener. All those years I took Mom for granted. And now I realize there was more to just the hot food on a plate. I really enjoy the science of it all - food presentation, spices, stocks, sauces, cuts of meat, fatty and lean fish, heating methods,(ect..) oh my!

So I have a little education, even less expierence, but a whole lotta enthusiem (and totally zero spelling skills). I don't see myself pursing a carear in these arts, but I certianly have come to respect it and have come here, to learn as much as I can handle.

I am not so sure I like the term gourmet chef, but I do desire to set an unforgetable table with food that is cooked just as well as those 100 dollar menu places. I believe if they can do it, I should be able to come close.

I am happy to be here, and look forward to discuss any culinary topic I can participate in.

Hi Rfriend! We're glad you found us. Don't worry about the spelling, because it seems that for some, the worse your spelling is, the better your cooking skills- at least in my experience!

Besides the Culinary students' forum here, don't miss the great articles and reviews at the main Chef Talk site. There's also a culinary student's journal that I'm sure you'll find interesting and useful.

We'll look forward to your posts!

Regards,
