After working for six years as an engineer, I studied social policy and am now a full-time volunteer, serving children. Children are my first love. My other 'first love' is Food. Food is story-telling, its conversation, and it’s also service. Food nourishes our body, mind, and soul. Eating well doesn’t require fancy cooking, but it does require mindfulness and practice. Anybody can cook and everybody should cook! I blog about my adventures in the kitchen at My Weekend Kitchen
