Meet my Chef Jacket, it makes me feel whole. It makes me have no care in the world. I can be myself without the feeling of being judged. I feel complete when I have my chef jacket on. Being able to cook and make people happy with my cooking is what excites me the most. Cooking is my passion and I am dedicated to continue to learn and how to perfect my dishes. When I wear my chef jacket I feel important. I feel like I belong. I feel like I’m doing something productive and positive. I love the feeling that I get when I walk into the kitchen. All my worries and stuff feels like a weight that is lifted off of my shoulders.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!

Love the post! Love that you love cooking and would have loved to hear you talk more about what dishes you like to make in particular. And where did you learn to cook? Are you planning or have you gone to culinary school? My dad loves cooking and I have learn a thing or two about cooking from him. I agree with you about what you said “all worries and stuff feels like a wight is lifted off of my shoulders”, Cooking really is therapeutic.
The way you describe the feelings and ideas you get from your item makes the writing very interesting. Some questions I have though are when you first acquired it and what does it look like.
I love when you said “it makes me feel whole”. I can’t wait to have that feeling of being whole when I get my white coat. Do you have a favorite dish you love to cook? When was the moment you realized that cooking was your passion?
I love your post, I’m glad there are other people who takes cooking as passion. I’m not very passionate about cooking but I know how to cook. I sometime enjoy cooking when I’m cooking my favorite meal. I agree when you said, ” it makes me feel whole” because I understand that feeling very well. Cooking really helps me distract from my worries and also lifts up my mood no matter how down I feel at the moment.

Hi Tatyana,
I feel so inspired when you say how you love to wearing your Chef Jacket. I know that is really important to you.
It reminds me of my little sister. She likes to cook and be ready when it comes to presentation.
Good job! Keep it up.
