As far as I can remember my relationship with food and cooking, I remember waiting for the opportunity I could grab to cook something new every weekend.
My mother would cook spicy fish curries, and chicken curries and my grandmother would invent something new with each of her attempts.
For me cooking has always been an experience of meditation and creating something with the comfort and passion that I enjoy like my any other hobby. I never knew people could embrace this passion into their lives and live for the dream of making something which has never been invented in years and years.
As I started to watch Chef's table I was taken aback with the amount of struggle and passion there is among this very specific field which involves making someone eat your food and find paradise.
I have watched most of the episodes I could get my hands on and till now I was surprised how making something your passion could have a greater impact on your life.
I remember their struggle to create something with a backdrop of an artists life. I can feel their need to do something that has never been done before. I remember the struggle of a chef with no taste buds to taste and his discovery of it again. I remember the beautiful house and restaurant of a chef in the remote country like Slovenia. There's an Indian guy who's story astonishes you with his amazing journey for exploring the fine dining experience with Indian cuisine. There's Korean nun who sees cooking as an important part of human being's life. An American chef who was in love with Japan which eventually led to discovering his passion.
I can relate to this very specific part where they consider food as their driving instinct. They are like the artists waiting to create something out of the existing and make it anew.
To an extent we look at food just as a part of survival. I wish I could explore this artistic side of cooking which has a distinct style of itself.
At first I would think fine dining was actually pretentious because of the extreme small portions of food and high end chef's forcing people to change their perception of tastes.
But after watching this specific series my opinion has been completely transformed as there is some sort of power play in making someone eat your creation and being acclaimed for it.
There isn't just the money minded pretentiousness behind it but also hard work and dedication.
For me this was just a show in beginning but now it has become an obsession and inspirational thing to look at how something can be absolutely fantastic when you give your best to it.
To a best show I have discovered after a long time.
