My aunt gave me a Christmas present when I was nine, and she gave me a cooking lesson where we went into the store and we made a menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This was when she wanted to see if I was into cooking. She wouldn't allow anybody in the kitchen for holidays when she was cooking. And her doing that for me, it was the biggest eye-opening thing, because she made her own chocolate truffles and ice cream. She would read and do all the types of things that a professional chef would want to do or go to culinary school. She kind of instilled that in me. At 18, when I became a dishwasher, she bought me the French Laundry Cookbook, and ironically, I said in culinary school, I'm never gonna work at a French restaurant, but I ended up working at the French Laundry and at a French restaurant, and everything that I said I wasn't gonna do, I ended up doing. Yeah, she's one that got me all into it. She's not with me anymore, but her giving me that first cooking lesson was really what set me up for this.
