Guest guest Posted December 18, 2000 Report Share Posted December 18, 2000 Hi : I'm not a chef but I love to cook and bake and have for 40 years. I have as much interested as ever, if not more interest than ever, but it took about a month for me to feel like cooking again! I still enjoy cooking and I still enjoy eating. The only difference is that I sample one cookie while baking instead of a dozen. It took quite a while for hunger to return (some folks never lose their hunger) and once it did, my interests hadn't changed, just the quantity of food I could eat had.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2000 Report Share Posted December 19, 2000 Thanks for the response. I have never been much into baking myself. But I do enjoy the gourmet cooking. The best part is making the plate look real nice then seeing a customers face when they get it. Sweets would not be a problem for me as I don't eat much of that as it is now. Sounds like the only effect it would have on me is trying less of what I make and thats fine by me. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2000 Report Share Posted December 19, 2000 What I find, , is that since I can only eat a small amount, whatever I do eat must be really worth it. In other words, the best! My gourmet muscle is working overtime, I'm getting so fussy! You'll do just fine in your profession; you'll just need someone to taste for you for a while. Good luck, PhillyJude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
