Now I see how you can be passionate about something since childhood, because it was a family thing, mother's favorite.
The lucky thing is you know the cooking from all experiences including the different animation shows. I thought animations would similarly cook animated food with animated techniques, but hope you learnt real cooking from them.
Nice post
Oh the last one, Food wars really used authentic cooking techniques and ingredients. Although the reactions and speed was of course over the top but it was based on reality.
