Several people have asked me to post more food related stuff and even if I post some every now and then I don’t see myself doing it all the time.
Why then? It would be fairly okay income for me since every food post I have done past has been rewarded with curie and have got fair amount of attention. So why don’t I turn my blog into food blog? It would be easy to me because food is my profession and passion.
To be honest that is one of the biggest reason why I’m not going to do that. Food and making it, creating it and thinking it is my profession. I already use at least 5 days a week just by making and thinking food, and I think that it is fair that I can use my free time for something else.
I enjoy creating new dishes, trying out new techniques and it is my passion, but I also need time off to keep my fire burning.
Is money. I can create and try out new stuff at work and I don’t have to pay for it, vice versa, they pay for me for doing it. At home I have to buy the ingredients myself and use my personal time for making the food.
Food in Finland isn’t cheap. So just for reason that I want to try something is not big enough reason for me to actually use money too much for it. Using time isn’t the problem, that I waste anyway so I really don’t care if the thing I waste it on is food.
Is the food it self. I have a privilege as a chef that I can eat good food at work, and I don’t actually have to make food at home if I don’t want to. And every time I’ve done food post for Steemit I have forced someone to eat my cookings.
I’m a person who can survive months just by drinking protein shakes or coffee and at home I consider instant ramen or oatmeal as descent food for me. I don’t bother to cook just for me, in my eyes it is waste of time and money.
When I have day off from work I usually don’t feel like cooking. I cook for others sometimes up to 7days a week, why would I do it when I don’t have to? I like to experience also other chefs creations and when I’m off from work I wander to restaurants that I yet haven’t tried. For sake that I don’t have to cook and for sake of inspiration.
If I always would just cook at “my own” restaurant or home I would get stuck. For making great food you have to also taste and experience great food. You have to get inspired..
I hate dishes so much that I avoid cooking at home until the end. And let’s face it, at work I can make the trainees to do the dishes, so I don’t have to do it at work either.
Is the space and equipments. I’m used to cook in professional kitchens, and back when I lived in my previous apartment my kitchen was second from heaven. The case is very different now.
Down town studio has very little room to cooking. In my kitchen has no counter space so cooking anything bigger that instant ramen is basically huge pain in the ass.
The professional kitchen has also professional equipments. SHOCKING NEWS! I know! Proper equipments cut down the amount of time you have to use for cooking. Something I make at work in 5minutes can take 40minutes at home. And isn’t that just annoying that you know yourself that you could do so much better?
I know I’m going to let down several people because of this and I’m sorry. I continue making food posts and taking food pics when ever I feel like it, but there is fairly small change to this blog ever turn into food blog. Never say never, but I wouldn’t hold my breath....
This also means that if you wanna enjoy my cookings you would have to actually visit me.
