// Forcing kids to study and do their homework is a very conflicting topic. Even though we know education is paramount for their survival in this modern world.

This has become a very obsessive topic for me as I am a chemical engineer and also a chef. First time this link between food and chemistry became obvious to me when watching a show about UK’s top chef Heston Blumenthal and his egg and bacon ice cream with liquid nitrogen. Inviting kids into the kitchen and teaching them in the kitchen is not that easy. Kitchen furniture, kitchen lighting and kitchen design play an important part in turning your kitchen into a cooking school. As busy parents we do not get much time to spend time with our children but if we can turn our kitchen into a classroom, we get to spend more time with them. We can help them with their homework and teaching them... Read More

// Watching your little ones, mixing, measuring, trying to make shapes is entertaining within itself. Cooking with kids takes patience but you learn that kids really are quite capable of doing a lot, all by themselves. Children’s culinary skills gradually improve. It is part science, part creativity, and part just amazing and then you can eat it too. You can train your kids, instead of playing with the play dough, play with the cookie dough, its more fun, tasty and safe to eat. Kitchen is a classroom, where kids practically learn and top of them all creativity and new imagination.

// How is the dinner time like in your home? Do the family members heat up their own meal in the microwave and have them whenever they feel like it?

It was just last week I was running late for work and driving down in the peak hour traffic. I had just hit the main road, suddenly I received a phone call from work, if I can pick up a client from the airport. I was really angry, it was already so hot and the peak hour traffic and another 10 km drive. Somehow I reached the airport and started looking for the car park. Another 10 minutes wasted looking for the parking. As soon as I opened the door I could hear the planes landing and taking off and than I heard some little kid screaming “Alloplane”. I turned around and it was my own one and half year old in the child seat whom I was supposed to drop at the day care center. I had completely... Read More

I’ve missed more than nine thousand shots in my career. I’ve lost almost three hundred games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. -Michael Jordan. The life we have and many things that we do every day do not necessarily have clear cut instructions. Our search for the perfection never ends, we learn many new things every day. How do we learn them?

There are very few experiments in our life that work out on... Read More
