In my knowledge cooking is kind of art/ natural talent which can’t be taught or learnt at culinary schools. Do your skills with dedication and interest to explore it with kind and love to others. Only one motivation for a chef is love your cooking, think the person you serving food is like you, live for others smile and happiness.

My favorite book is “The HOLLY QURAN”, where it taught about disciplines, sacrifices and cleanliness that one should maintain in their lifetime. Real happiness is seeing your smile in others face is the universal truth which accepted by all people around the world.
