I'm 22 years old currently in school full time and working. On my free time I like staying active (gym, rollerblading, dancing), cooking, reading new books, and cooking of course. I dream of one day having a career in the culinary fields, but I'm unsure what that perfect career will be. To date I'm in BBA in Accounting degree and will see where that road takes me! I love to cook and to see new recipes out there. I wish I had all the time in the world because I would be cooking 24-7!! My sweet tooth demands a lot of cookies and cakes, but for the most part I stay healthy and like cooking Indian, Mediteranean, and Asian dishes. I also like staying seasonal and get many inspirations from the fresh, colorful fruits and vegetables. My mom has been cooking ever since I can remember. She is from Japan so as you know food presentation and meticulous planning is a must. I love spending time in the kitchen with her preparing things like gyoza, omochi (sticky rice balls)and sushi to name a few...the longest running family tradition is having the same sponge cake for every birthday for all the family members. My mom must of made that cake over 200 times!
