In the kitchen with Peter

By Peter Rees

Who are you in a kitchen? You are the chef - you have the tools of the trade around you, even if it is only a knife or a fork, you have to tune in with the utensils around you and make something that you feel like you have a connection with. I like to take a step in the right direction with my creation, whether it’s a stir fry or a roast chicken, it’s something that shows what you want to be like. Even if you spice it up or mix it to the next beat in the recipe of life. I felt like that I knew what it’s like when I won an Award Scheme Development and Accreditation Network (ASDAN) award for my cooking skills at SkillWise. And maybe when I am helping out at home from time to time I feel like I have helped or created something really worthwhile. I did some cooking at SkillWise and we made some fantastic stuff. The best part was being a part of a team and eating what we had created in the kitchen with all the utensils at our disposal. I started doing Food Technology during my senior years at high school. My Food Technology teacher saw that I had the potential to make something of myself and I believe that anyone can do the same, even if you have to garnish it!
