Andrea Rants: Insights, Thoughts, and Opinions

MY thoughts, insights and opinions on things in MY life. I'm not asking for your judgment. Enjoy...or not.

Name:
Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States

Corporate America 12 year veteran. I've held positions ranging from Customer Service to Sr. Manager to Assistant Vice President of Marketing. Novelist. I've always written. My first book was penned (or rather, penciled) at the tender age of six, and every moment since, I have been writing this short story or that novel. My first novel is a work of fiction: Her Essence, a Mystery/Thriller. I am in the process of writing my first non-fiction book, which incorporates my life coaching methodologies and philosphies as well as other thrillers: Taming Roland, About Bryant, and the sequel to Her Essence.

Intuitive Chef

I received a few questions about what an ‘Intuitive Chef’ is/does. It’s quite simple actually. Do you recall the feeling, upon meeting someone for the very first time, that you either really liked them or really didn’t? If you had a feeling one way or the other (strongly), you probably couldn’t explain it. It just was. You loved him/her immediately or you couldn’t get away fast enough. If polled, you can only say, “S/he just…well…I can’t…you know how it is…I’m at a loss…I just knew immediately, that we would be friends forever. We cliqued immediately and are now inseparable.” Or on another note, the response is sometimes, “who?”

That’s how it is with cooking and me. I’ve never taken a class, but I just know what’s going to blend well. I know what time to put everything on so that all is served warm and well. AND most importantly, I know how to cook quickly! Whoever’s touting the 30-minute meal has absolutely NOTHING on the Intuitive Chef! The only things that rock me a bit are recipes and baking. Baking takes WAY too long and there are no shortcuts that I can see. I will use a recipe every now again, but it’s probably something that’s been requested of me to make and I have no clue where to start…intuition is still kicking in here…I know that I need a recipe and I know where to go.
