My life has changed for the better !

It's high time I confessed something to you all !
I haven't written a blog post in a while and there is a reason, I have started my school year. You might be thinking that I have started the second year of prepa torture, learning all about biology and agriculture, however that is not the case, I quit. That's right I put my foot down and decided never to go back to that hell hole !
What am I going to do with my life now ? Well I'm still not sure about that, still I do know what I'll be doing till next year : I'm learning about cooking !
I started classes at The Ecole Cordon Bleu Paris on the first of september and it was the best decision I've ever made, I'm loving it.
I'm not allowed to show you pictures of the school or what food we make there but I'm still going to tell you all about it !
Up to now, we've cut learned how to cut vegetables, and I had to practice :

A lot...

So much it made me cry...

We also learned how to make stocks, sauces, pastries and today I'm going to make a puff pastry from scratch, how exciting !
I'm living the Julia Child dream !

Let me introduce myself

  So this is it, my first ever post...I'll start from the very beginning, a very good place to start (yes that was quoted from The sound of music, and yes I did sing it in my head as I was writing it.). I've always been passionate about cooking, since i was in my mother's tummy and she decided to do a tour of all the good restaurants near Bordeaux (by the way, I actually live in France). So don't ask me why I am currently studying biology... 

  I'm doing Prépa, which is a french course where they torture students for 2 years preparing them for the entry exams to the high-standard, sort of Oxbridge equivalent, universities. This means in order to revise, I've had to cut down on my cooking time, and only really get creative during the holidays! 

  However I've decided to change that and keep you updated as I try to cook a decent, relatively healthy, quick meal every night.
