Aida, your celebrity chef match is Julia Child!
Butter, anyone? She may look down upon anyone who sacrifices fat for diet, but Julia Child is the grand dame of French cooking — for butter or for worse. Like Julia, you tend to enjoy the rewards of classic cooking and traditional life.Maybe you don't whip up lobster thermidor on a nightly basis, but when you do ramp up for a special meal — entertaining friends, for example — you tend to pull out all the stops. Experience has proven that "from scratch" does tend to make a difference, so if time allows, we'd guess you like to spoil your guests with everything from fresh fish to homemade pie. That's not to say you're not up for some shortcuts in the kitchen. It's just that when it comes down to it, you like to do things right, and don't mind taking the time to make sure that happens.

Ok. As some of you have noticed, I have been honing my cooking skills for the past weeks. Needless to say, some were disastrous. However, as all of you are my witnesses, it's about learning through trial and error. Am I right? That's what my mother, who to me is the bestest cook in the world, said anyway. But what can I say?... I LOVE COOKING! If one day I become rich or eventually marry a rich bugger (my former colleague actually said I would make a good wife someday ... aww shucks...), my kitchen would be the best place in the house. No doubt about it. My dream kitchen will be fully equipped to the max. Yes siree! Am planning to compile all my recipes soon. (Pss, pss! Actually I would so wanna marry a professional chef!)
They are actually extremely artistic and creative people. Oh, well. If only I had discovered my passion for cooking earlier, maybe I would have been a chef at a nice fancy-mancy restaurant, eh? Sigh....
