Comments for Chef's Tales http://chefstales.com Everything you've always wanted to know about cooking, but were too afraid to ask Mon, 26 Mar 2012 10:20:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Comment on With Hello Fresh anyone can cook amazing food at home by Allen Smith http://chefstales.com/2012/03/03/with-hello-fresh-anyone-can-cook-amazing-food-at-home/#comment-8337 Allen Smith Mon, 26 Mar 2012 10:20:47 +0000 http://chefstales.com/?p=952#comment-8337 Hi Mike, Was very intrigued by your post, and, having moved to City recently with my girlfriend, we decided to give it a go. We're both really fond of food, but tend to work quite late during the week... and as a result have been subjecting ourselves to way too many ready meals... or otherwise easy & inevitably unhealthly food choices. Aaanyway... long story shot, we were really impressed! Food arrived promptly last Tuesday... all healthy ingredients... a nice variety of meals... and quite easy and quick to prepare. Will definitely stay subscribed, as it completely suits our needs. Thanks for the post - we really hope this company catches on! Best, Allen Hi Mike,

]]> Comment on The joys of being a chef by chat arcia http://chefstales.com/2009/10/09/the-joys-of-being-a-chef/#comment-8205 chat arcia Sun, 18 Mar 2012 00:35:27 +0000 http://chefstales.com/?p=344#comment-8205 Hi Chef Mike, I am an aspiring culinary arts student of a vocational school here in San Diego. Your article gave me a deeper sense of joy, that indeed I made the right decision on going back to school. I started on this program in 2006 while I worked for a quick service restaurant as a manager. Cooking good food and eating are my family's way of showing, sharing love among ourselves. This has given me a sense of fulfillment each time I can create and serve family and friends new dishes I would learn from books or the internet. Because of heavy work load, I gave up schooling and continued to achieve my goals in the restaurant business. 4 yrs later, I quit work and relocated to the East Coast. Last year, I decided to have a career change and went back to school. To this date, I enjoyed every minute of my class, learning the fundamentals and science of cooking. Now, its very clear to me, that I'm on the right path. Thank you for article, I'm looking forward to experience all the joys of being a chef. Hi Chef Mike,

]]> Comment on Loneliness… the curse of humans by chuck rhodes http://chefstales.com/2010/08/07/loneliness%e2%80%a6-the-curse-of-humans/#comment-7406 chuck rhodes Sun, 15 Jan 2012 19:58:29 +0000 http://chefstales.com/?p=767#comment-7406 What an incredible post to find on a chef's site. What sharing comments by others. I could write a book on my thoughts. Over 50 years ago my high school "senior problems" teacher pointed to me as the only one in class that could be a hermit. Yet I had friends at school, later had many more than my share in business and yet I must ask myself "what is a friend?" I have few around me now yet in my whole life I have never felt lonely. It is like "being bored" something that comes from inside not outside. People don't go to funerals because of the dead, they go to comfort the living or from business/social obligations/reasons. I wouldn't judge the number of Fred's friends nor his happiness by the number at his funeral nor do I think funerals attended by hundreds mean the dead had more friends than Fred. Jesus did many incredible things for throngs of people yet how many defended him or attended his crucifixion or burial? Even the man on whom he built the church denied he even knew him three times! There is something much deeper here. chuck What an incredible post to find on a chef’s site. What sharing comments by others. I could write a book on my thoughts.
