Food Passion

To be truly passionate about something, you must incorporate it in your daily life. This may be hard due to any circumstances, but what better passion is there than food? Take into consideration the impact food has on every part of our lives. Like come on, we do it at least 3 times a day, how can you not love it? To be passionate about food doesn’t mean just cooking and eating certain dishes.
I wonder how I developed a passion for food. Of course many people are fond of eating different cuisines and what not, but let’s take it back a couple of years. How did it all start? I think I was influenced by my parents and my grandparents at an early age, spending time in the kitchen and inheriting their exciting food. It could also be while travelling and experimenting to cook for the first time. I can’t seem to categorize where my interest really came from but I think it just grew on me. I think food is a big category; we integrate it in our lives so much. It becomes a part of our social life, daily activity and most important, our health. On the verge of making my own food I was engrossed by the fact that I could make my own food, the way I want it, which would be perfect, and actually tasty! Although that didn’t work out well, I’m still drawn to food and cooking. It’s hard to get through a day without scrutinizing my food and also others around me. I’m also constantly digging up cookbooks and recipes. It’s funny how I find myself day dreaming and food and their taste, especially commercials, they kill me! I breathe, sleep and talk food.
Thinking back at how I obsess over food, I think I might be a foodie. Now you’re probably wondering what a foodie is. Basically, a foodie is a person who is passionate about anything that involves food. For example, if you get excited over new food products. Do you plan your vacation based on certain restaurants in the area? Do you make more than one desert for just two people? Personally, I wouldn’t do that, only on special occasions; family gatherings and such but that doesn’t stop me from eating more than one kind of desert! I can see myself being a foodie because; I get thrilled for new restaurants to open in the area. Now if your favourite channel if the food network, your definitely a foodie. I have other interests and hobbies but food is still vital. Despite my other interests, I think I can declare myself as a foodie!
