How it all happend - POTATO CHIPS

During the early 1850s, a New York chef faced a very fussy customer who complained that the served fried potatoes were too thick and soggy. The chef was infuriated by the unsatisfied customer and just to annoy the customer, he sliced the potato so thin that it cannot be eaten with a fork. Then he pan fried it and made it extra crispy. However, for the chefs surprise, the customer did not get annoyed. He loved it and so did everyone else who came to the eatery! It was later included as an item on their menu of the restaurant.

Introduction

A few years ago, I jumped in the professional culinary career. Since then I have been learning about all the exciting stuff about food, trying varieties of tastes and getting hands-on experience preparing it.

It is not only my culinary world inspired me to create this blog but a lot of people around me who love food…. some of them, to a dangerous level. In addition, one of my strongest beliefs is that no occasion or celebration is complete without food.

This blog is not about teaching you guys how to cook, because it is too big a task for me. My blog is not entirely about cooking but about food in general. Its about food and its relation to different aspects of our life such as , family, friends, humour, health, romance, sex, ...etc. Additionally i will include tips to help you not burn down your kitchen and a selection of recipes that you guys will absolutely loooove!
