My sister is my greatest inspiration. To me she is Miss Perfect . I always wanted to be like her..she is intelligent,pretty and smart and super talented , as a matter of fact she was the biggest reason for my entry into cooking. As a child, I wanted to do everything she used to . I wanted to ride her bicycle,wear her clothes,speak the way she spoke ,hoping that I could become like her in a teeny weeny way. I was in class four when My sister made the best eggs ever..there was something different in it..I still have not found out what the reason was but it was the tastiest scrambled eggs i had ever tasted...that inspired me..he he he..well in my spree to become like her i decided to make eggs...My first Cooking expedition...I went to the kitchen, took an egg ...and bam i tried breaking it with a rolling pin and plop went my beautiful egg on to the floor..and the rest was history..
