I remember my parents’ gift when I was 6 or 7 years old – a mini-set of aluminium pots and a frying pan. You could not imagine a more excited kid doing his first fries! I guess it is also one of the reasons after all these years my love for chips and fries remains strong.
Drinking is a more delicate topic, but my first drink was actually a beer. I used to drink a lot of it when I was at my first Uni (many tech geeks did and still do, I reckon). Yet at 23 years of age I looked at the mirror and said that beer was enough and it is time to lose that beer belly altogether. Wine came along shortly after, mostly inspired by a travel to France and increased imports from all over the world. It is still very exciting to try something new, isn’t it? Novelty factor rocks.
What were your first touch points with cooking and drinking?
