Hello

I am a vet student starting my last two years of vet school and as everyone in my year seems to be more enthused and motivated, I feel less excited and more unoptimistic about my potential future career. I am not the first person to have doubts of this sort, and certainly not the first to write a blog about it, but perhaps the combination of my studies and my other interests might make a tired subject a more original read.

I have had a passion for food for a long time, so much so that as a sixteen year old it was a close decision between subjects required for a veterinary degree and chef school. That I had to make this career defining decision, when I could hardly decide whether to get out of bed or not, seems a bit ridiculous but I will save this rant for another post. I have always cooked at home, from meagre beginnings peeling potatoes with Granny, to cooking Christmas dinners for the whole family and I have always loved it. Put a packet of noodles from Thailand or a bottle of peppery olive oil from a small orchard in France in front of me and you will be surprised how excited I can get.

I would write more but it is time to get dinner on the go.... Check back for posts on my first project.
