A friend of mine recommended a book to me. It’s called Kitchen Confidential. It’s about the author, Anthony Bourdain and his adventures in cooking. Great book. And nicely written. It’s always fun to read a book where the writer really cares about something, may it be food or anything else. Passion is cool.

If you read some of the earlier stuff you probably come to the conclusion that I am a total virgin when it comes to food. Most of my food intake is at the local McDonalds.

I read the book that the former bass player of the Rolling Stones, Bill Wyman wrote. He said that eating was just a distraction from more important stuff in life. I agreed with him at the time, I have always thought that having to eat takes away valuable time from, for me, more importent stuff. This does not mean that I don’t enjoy good food, it just means that I don’t think that its such a big deal. But after reading his book I must say that I feel like really learning to cook, and to try out some of the more exotic dishes there is. If people can get so exited about food there must be something to it. So I hear-by svear to learn how to cook. I will buy the Global Chef Knife that he recommends. I promise to try to get good ingredients. I’ll buy some cook books and I promise to read them. Stay tuned for my first try. Maybe I should get a stomach pump just in case?
