HOW DID TONY NOT GET STARFRUIT!!???
I think I could have easily dominated that Pressure Challenge. And I really wanted one of those burgers from the Red Team. They may have been completely unorganized, but that looked delicious.
Props to Sharone in the first episode tonight. Not only did his cupcake look delicious, but he cooked a great dish later on against Cat Cora. There was no way he was going to beat her - no amateur chef would - but at least he kept it competitive with a well cooked halibut.

Introduction
Hi (Potential) Readers,
I believe all blogs should start with some kind of introduction. I started this blog to show my attempts at cooking. I do not attend culinary school (in fact I major in Corporate Finance and Accounting), and I have never taken a cooking class. Everything I know about cooking I learned from recipes and cookbooks (and some general things from my mother and sister).
My passion for cooking started a few years back when I started watching Hell's Kitchen. It wasn't until last year that I actually started picking up the knives myself. It began as me wanting to make one dish, which then blossomed into a hobby, and then grew from there.
I remember the first dish I really cooked on my own. It was salmon with a pineapple relish served on top of angel-hair pasta. It came out pretty good, the pasta was slightly undercooked, but it was a step in the right direction. After that night I began to cook more for as many people as I could.
I got my first cook book last Christmas as a gift from my sister. It was Gordon Ramsay's Fast Food. I cooked a lot of dishes from that book, and had an entire dinner party with recipes from only that. Earlier this summer I purchased another Ramsay cook book, and it has really helped improve my cooking ability.
Now, I'm not a good chef by any means. I couldn't walk into a fine-dining restaurant and be able to land a job, but as a college student without any formal training, I think I can hold my own.
This blog will show the different dishes I create, things I learn, and progress I make towards my goal of becoming a good chef (and maybe tryout for MasterChef). I will pass along recipes I use and find across the web.
I hope that people actually come across this blog, and if you do, please keep reading!
